Template for an Aliucord plugins repo

This template uses Java 11 which requires gradle alpha which is only supported by Android Studio Beta or later. To use it, you must change your Android Studio updater branch to beta or canary.

Alternatively, you can change JavaVersion.VERSION_11 to JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 in all build.gradle files and follow the Android Studio instructions to downgrade to Java 8

1. Generate a repo based on this template
2. Create a new folder that will hold everything needed
3. Inside this folder, create a folder called buildtool
4. Save the latest buildtool binary and example config to the buildtools folder
5. Rename the config to config.json and correct the androidSDK path in it
6. Clone Aliucord: git clone https://github.com/Aliucord/Aliucord repo
7. Clone your generated repo and change the plugins field in buildtool's config.json to the name of your plugin folder
8. Optional but highly recommended (You will need this sooner or later): Download and decompile the latest Discord apk
   1. Download the correct discord apk from https://aliucord.tk/download/discord?v=VERSION, for example https://aliucord.tk/download/discord?v=80202
   2. Decompile it using jadx: jadx --show-bad-code --no-replace-consts the.apk
9. Your resulting folder structure should look something like this:

   Plugins

   │   ├── buildtool
   │   └── config.json
   ├── discord.apk
   ├── discord_decompiled

This template includes 4 example plugins which you can find in the ExamplePlugins folder.

1. Copy the HelloWorld example plugin into the root of this folder as MyFirstPlugin and fix all values in the plugin Manifest method
2. Uncomment the first line in settings.gradle to tell gradle to include it. Whenever you add a new plugin you have to add it here
3. Inspect the updater.json file and uncomment the MyFirstPlugin section. Whenever you add a new plugin you have to add it to updater.json similar to the MyFirstPlugin block
4. Run ./build.sh MyFirstPlugin to build and deploy the plugin to your phone and try it out
