Open Source Android Cloud Services Apps

microG GmsCore is a FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) framework to allow applications designed for Google Play Services to run on systems, where Play Services is not available. The linux-based open-source mobile operating system Android is not only the most popular mobile operating system in the world, it’s also on the way to becoming a proprietary operating system. How is that? While the core operating system is still released as part of the Android Open Source Project, the majority of core apps are not. It gets worse: More and more libraries and APIs are only available on phones that run various Google apps pre-installed, effectively locking third-party apps to the Google ecosystem. For these reasons Android is described as being a “look but don’t touch” kind of open. At this point, several popular open-source applications already require some of Google’s proprietary libraries to be installed.

Google Santa Tracker app for Android is an educational and entertaining tradition that brings joy to millions of children (and children at heart) across the world over the December holiday period. The app is a companion to the Google Santa Tracker website (repository here), showcasing unique platform capabilities like Android Wear watchfaces, device notifications and more. First up, Santa Tracker is powered by Firebase, so you'll need to enable it on your Google account over at the Firebase console. A beautiful designed village. Exciting games like Penguin Swim and Rocket Sleigh. Use of Dynamic Feature Modules (each game is a separate module, fetched dynamically on first run). Interactive Android Wear watchfaces (with sound!). Videos, animations and more.

Firebase is an app development platform that helps you build and grow apps and games users love. Backed by Google and trusted by millions of businesses around the world. Install pre-packaged, open-source bundles of code to automate common development tasks. Firebase projects are backed by Google Cloud, letting you scale your app to billions of users. Use Firebase products together to solve complex challenges and optimize your app experience. Personalize your onboarding flow, grow user engagement, or add new functionality with Firebase. If you choose to save your config during the installation, the supported options may be saved in the firebase.nativescript.json at the root of your app. This is to ensure your app may roundtrip source control and installation on CI won't prompt for user input during installation. Because of the specifics of the angular bootstrap it is best to initalize firebase once the angular application is running.
