We have been working on a lot of different topics over the last two weeks:
- Integrate replication servers in the mobile app
- Nearly finished the orbitdb replay system, to reconstruct the sqlite projection in the mobile app
- Switch to GitHub Actions to build the mobile apps and move the signing step into yolo as an async task
- Adding Darwin support on libp2p tor transport
- Fix UI/UX/Stability fixes and improve the app based on the beta testers' feedback (thanks to them 🙏)
- Refactor go/pkg/bertymessenger to improve maintainability
- Configure backup servers and improve infrastructure monitoring
- Setup xcode-gen on the mobile apps
- Improve the betabot to allow automated onboarding of new beta testers
- Make the bertybridge (mobile native <-> Go) using initutil to initialize ipfs/libp2p like everything else in the project
- Wrote a documentation for self-service onboarding on the beta
