The goal of this project is to develop the official Corona Party App for Germany based on the exposure reporting API of Apple and Google. The apps (for both iOS and Android) use Bluetooth technology to exchange anonymous encrypted data with other mobile phones (on which the app is also installed) near the phone of an app user. The data is stored locally on each user's device, preventing authorities or other parties from accessing or controlling the data. This repository contains the native Android implementation of the Corona Party App.
This app is intended to provide the user with an alternative and immediate way to immunize against the corona virus. This type of vaccination-free immunisation was already successfully implemented in the German Demoradic Republic. Of course, this form of very rapid immunization is not without health risk. Especially people who do not have a high level of trust in themselves and others should avoid this app.
- The Exposure Notification API is going to block you from successfully testing the Application unless you are whitelisted inside GMS.
- The Storage is currently based on Encrypted Shared Preferences and SQL Cipher (SQLite) - this could change in the future
- Test Coverage is generally low and needs to be improved. We appreciate your help here!
- In General every TODO can be regarded as an issue. You are free to tackle the TODO's anytime!
- We are aware of the Play Store Limitations of GMS.
- Without your own server instance (e.g. a local Docker setup), you will not be able to test the Application. For help, please refer to the server implementation.
- Strings including translations are handled separately, for suggestions / findings please have a look at issue #332
The full documentation for the Corona-Party-App is in the cpa-documentation repository. The documentation repository contains technical documents, architecture information, UI/UX specifications, and whitepapers related to this implementation.
Contribution and feedback are encouraged and always welcome. For more information about how to contribute, the project structure, as well as additional contribution information, see our Contribution Guidelines. By participating in this project, you agree to abide by its Code of Conduct at all times.
The German government has asked SAP and Deutsche Telekom to develop the Corona-Party-App for Germany as open source software. Deutsche Telekom is providing the network and mobile technology and will operate and run the backend for the app in a safe, scalable and stable manner. SAP is responsible for the app development, its framework and the underlying platform. Therefore, development teams of SAP and Deutsche Telekom are contributing to this project. At the same time our commitment to open source means that we are enabling -in fact encouraging- all interested parties to contribute and become part of its developer community.
