A couple of questions

Hi!

Is there any reason for having the .vscode folder inside the frontend folder instead of the root folder?
I'm asking that because I can't see the Launch Configurations (described here https://appflowy.gitbook.io/docs/essential-documentation/contribute-to-appflowy/software-contributions/launcher-and-tasks) when I open the project from the root folder.
So, to see them, I need to open the project from the frontend folder.

I'm also seeing some launch configurations for Android, but I guess they don't work yet, am I right?

Best.

Hey, I am new here. Could you please help me in setting up the project? I have cloned the project and trying to run it(flutter) but there are a lot of warning in the lib folder and I tried everything but can't fix them.

Can you share the exact error you are facing?

Hi!

1. Why .vscode is in frontend: AppFlowy is set up as a monorepo, and the frontend folder is a self-contained sub-project. All the VS Code task paths and build configurations (like cargo make for the Rust core) expect frontend to be the workspace root. If you open VS Code at the repository root, these paths and tasks will break. You should open the frontend directory directly in VS Code to develop.

2. Android configs: Yes, they work! But because the app uses a Rust backend, you need to set up Android cross-compilation for Rust first. You'll need the Android NDK installed, the target added via rustup (rustup target add aarch64-linux-android), and cargo-ndk (cargo install cargo-ndk). Once that environment is ready, the Android launch configurations will build the Rust core and run the Flutter app on your device.

Hope this helps!
