Aries Mobile Agent React Native

Aries Mobile Agent React Native is an open source Aries mobile agent app. This is a project that has been created to focus the community's efforts towards a central open source project. Various different organizations and people have expressed interest in a open source community project to help focus efforts to help prevent duplication of work between projects. Aries Bifold is also intended to help get complex or specific use-case projects started faster by cloning and having a basis of an Aries agent.

Code

This project utilizes Aries Framework Javascript (AFJ) and indy-sdk-react-native.

Community

The Bifold User Group call takes place every other week on Tuesdays, 16:00 UTC via Zoom. This meeting is for contributors to discuss issues and plan work items. Meeting agendas and recordings can be found here. Everybody is welcome to attend and contribute!

Project State

Platform

Aries Bifold currently is built on React Native 0.64.1

As of now Aries Bifold targets Android API 29.0.3, with plans to support API 30 soon.

iOS targets iOS 10.0+. Aries Bifold can only be run on physical devices as of right now.

Testing

Aries Bifold utilizes the Aries Agent Test Harness (AATH) to test for Aries Agent compatibility and interoperability.

Aries Bifold also utilizes the Aries Toolbox & aries-acapy-plugin-toolbox for issuer and verifier roles.

Install

You can watch a recording of setting up and running the mobile wallet and receiving a credential using the ACA-Py demo. Watch the video here (thanks @xtrycatchx).

Compatible Node Version

Node: 16.15.0
Npm: 8.5.5

React Native Setup:
- React Native installation instructions are documented here.
- (iOS) Install Cocoa Pods

Clone the Bifold repo and install its dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-mobile-agent-react-native
cd aries-mobile-agent-react-native
npm install

(iOS) iOS specific install:
- Install iOS Pods:
```
cd app/ios
pod install
```
- In the /ios directory, open the project workspace file in Xcode. Once the project is open, navigate to the project's Signing & Capabilities tab and apply your personal Apple Developer Account or your organization's team to target AriesBifold and target AriesBifoldTests.
- Adjust the bundle identifier if needed.

Configure

In the app directory add an .env file containing:

MEDIATOR_URL=https://public.mediator.indiciotech.io?c_i=eyJAdHlwZSI6ICJkaWQ6c292OkJ6Q2JzTlloTXJqSGlxWkRUVUFTSGc7c3BlYy9jb25uZWN0aW9ucy8xLjAvaW52aXRhdGlvbiIsICJAaWQiOiAiMDVlYzM5NDItYTEyOS00YWE3LWEzZDQtYTJmNDgwYzNjZThhIiwgInNlcnZpY2VFbmRwb2ludCI6ICJodHRwczovL3B1YmxpYy5tZWRpYXRvci5pbmRpY2lvdGVjaC5pbyIsICJyZWNpcGllbnRLZXlzIjogWyJDc2dIQVpxSktuWlRmc3h0MmRIR3JjN3U2M3ljeFlEZ25RdEZMeFhpeDIzYiJdLCAibGFiZWwiOiAiSW5kaWNpbyBQdWJsaWMgTWVkaWF0b3IifQ==

Note - To run your own mediator or use a different network, go here for advanced configuration.

Run

Launch the metro bundler:
```
cd app
npm run start
```
Open a second terminal and run:
- (Android)
```
cd app
npm run android
```
- (iOS)
```
cd app
npm run ios
```
- (iOS) Via Xcode: Open app\ios\AriesBifold.xcworkspace Choose your physical iOS device as the destination. Click the "Play" button to Build and Run.

NOTE: Bifold does not work on iOS simulators -- use a physical device instead.

Advanced Configuration

Mediator

In order to use Aries Bifold, you must have a mediator to use with the app. Bifold is configured to use 'Implicit' mediation and requires a mediator that supports the coordinate-mediation protocol. Bifold by default utilizes the Indicio Public Mediator, which utilizes ACA-Py. For running your own ACA-Py mediator more details can be found here.

Network

Aries Bifold as of right now is tied to one ledger with the intention of adding multi-ledger support in the future. You must provide a genesis url for your chosen network, such as:

Troubleshooting

Hot Reloading

Hot reloading may not work correctly with instantiated Agent objects. Reloading (r) or reopening the app may work. Any changes made to native modules require you to re-run the compile step.

Dependency Issues, Native Module Linking Issues, or Usage Issues

If you end up changing dependencies or structures, you may need to perform the following steps:

Android

rm -rf app/node_modules
rm -rf core/node_modules
npm install

Clean the Android build:

cd app/android
./gradlew clean
cd ..

Start and clean the Metro cache:

cd app
npm run start

In your second terminal, you can now run:

cd app
npm run android
