The bounty has been ratified and is open for applications. I’m trying to work with DFINITY to fix the message board code that won’t let me edit my original post…if we can’t get it resolved we may need to pick a different venue.
This step is pretty straightforward. In an effort to keep people from duplicating the effort, someone needs to step up and ‘apply’ for the bounty. The bounty is now 21 ICP.
If you’d like to apply in a less public way you are welcome to send me a DM on the forum software or at Austin at icdevs dot org.
Maybe I am missing something, but I am not sure what the proposal is asking the community, to be honest. Since the proposal is sent, can you help update in the thread to clarify what the community is voting on?
(its possible I am the one missing something very obvious)
Oh man… I guess I screwed that up. I was using axon: Axon and I thought that “motions” just stayed on the system and had no action. I guess we approved the neuron to propose a motion to the NNS. Oops. Well…I guess the community can ratify it also!
This was not meant to go to the NNS. I guess we need to add a top-level “motion” to axon to use it the way we want to.
Probably only tangentially related. I’d imagine that some of the code that would work for Java/kotlin would be on the back end of the Android libraries that react native has to talk to to communicate with the Android OS. If your interested in that side we could carve out that portion of it, but this bounty does require wiring it all up in react native template project.
Thanks to the work of the maintainer of react-native-v8, the latest version of that library now supports WebAssembly.
That means BLS signature verification now works on both iOS and Android without needing to write any custom Rust or C++ native code.
Caveats:
Must be at least iOS 14 and can’t use Hermes
Android must use react-native-v8 v0.65.2-patch.1 or v0.66.3-patch.1. That means you must be running React Native v0.65 or v0.66 (for now). Hermes and JSC (for Android) are not yet supported
Hmm that would be part of it, but the tricky thing with mobile is that every RN + IC project would still need to make some changes to their Android and iOS native code to properly install some of the npm dependencies, such as react-native-v8.
For example, they will need to update their build.gradle files. There might need to be a custom script (kinda like create-react-app or dfx new) that can auto-generate a skeleton RN + IC git repo.
There are 21 ICP in this bounty right now…maybe we should reward the maintainer of react-native-v8 with some of this? And the have the rest for the person willing to put the instructions together?
This is a great opportunity for someone to get their feet wet with the IC and make ~$800 in the process.
We’ve accelerated this bounty with 10 more ICP from the DFINITY Acceleration Grant.
We are going to set aside 5 ICP for the dec that added the wasm stuff to the android build. This is now a 26 ICP bounty for basically setting up some config files. If you want to get involved in building for the IC, this is a great spot to do it!
Expo (React Native) JS Engine when running in Debug
Shake phone, and tap Debug Remote JS, you’ll notice the app now works on Android. This is because the JS Engine on Android in Debug mode supports BigInt
But that means normal mode and native builds do not #FunTimes
Basically the */**===&| etc etc ops, don’t work reliably via the polyfill. These seem to give unexpected results and as such the while loops runs forever.
This only happens is the typeof of a bigint is object, thus not native support. If typeof is bigint it works.
@dpdp - did you pull the bls verification code that you’re patching in from an existing package, or did you write it yourself? If it is from Origyn, do we have your permission to add it to agent-js? I’ve just merged support to polyfill BLS verification without patching feat: support for bls verification polyfill by krpeacock · Pull Request #626 · dfinity/agent-js · GitHub, and I’d like to make this process simple by shipping the polyfill as an additional package on NPM as @dfinity/bls-verify, so that we don’t have to ask people to copy a large file around
Thank you!
