How to build a debug Android APK from source with Oriveo

Compile the Community Edition Android client into a debug APK with Gradle.

Who it is forAn Android developer who wants to inspect or run the open source client without the Google Play build.

The problemCommunity Edition ships as source only, so the APK has to be built before it can be installed.

The outcomeA debug APK built from the repository that can be installed on an Android device.

What you need first

  • Node 22.22.2 or a later 22.x for the web client (Node 23+ is not supported)
  • At least one provider API key you created yourself, or a local model server such as Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp or vLLM
  • For iOS: a Mac with Xcode 26 and an iPhone on iOS 18 or later, plus a free Apple Developer account
  • For Android: JDK 21 and the Android SDK
  • For subscription sign-in: a ChatGPT or Grok subscription you already hold

Steps

  1. Install JDK 21 and the Android SDK, and confirm that Android Studio is a release that can sync AGP 9.3, Gradle 9.5 and Kotlin 2.3 if you use it.
  2. Run cd android.
  3. Run ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug.
  4. Locate the debug APK under the app module build output and copy it to an Android device.

Prompt for your agent

In the oriveo/oriveo repository, change into android and run ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug with JDK 21 and the Android SDK available. Expected output: a debug APK in the app build output. Verify that the build finishes with no errors and report the APK path.

Caveat. The README gives the build command but does not say where the APK is written, so the output path must be confirmed in the build output.
