Development Setup
Brief Process
Register as a BitBoy OS developer: Developer Console
Install Android Studio development environment
Download Device SDK and obtain APP_Key from Developer Console
Create your BitBoy OS application
Publish your app to the store
Register BitBoy OS Developer Account
All dApps running on BitBoy devices require a developer account to access services provided by BitBoy OS. Without these services, dApps cannot be properly published to the app store or run on devices. Registration URL: https://developer.bitboyos.com
Development Environment Setup
Install Android Studio:
Download and install the latest version of Android Studio from
Android Mobile App Developer Tools – Android Developers
Configure Android Studio:
Open SDK Manager
Select "Android 11.0 (R)" under SDK Platforms
Ensure the latest Android SDK Build-Tools are installed under SDK Tools
Create New Project:
Select "Android" as target platform
Choose minimum SDK version "API 30: Android 11.0 (R)"
BitBoy OS is based on Android 11, so the development environment configuration is largely similar to standard Android development. Developers can use regular Android development tools and processes to create applications, with adjustments made later for BitBoy OS-specific features and interfaces.
Obtain APP_KEY and Integrate Device SDK
The BitBoy OS Device SDK provides third-party dApps with crucial device verification and secure communication capabilities. It allows developers to confirm that applications are running on genuine BitBoy devices, enable secure data exchange, and comply with permission controls. By simplifying complex encryption and signature processes, the SDK not only protects user privacy but also significantly reduces development complexity, enabling dApps to integrate securely and efficiently into the BitBoy ecosystem.
Integrating Device SDK
The Device SDK is system-integrated and can be called directly.
