Hi, I wanted to try to contribute to Signal iOS. I was able to get the project to build on the simulator and am met with the blank inbox. I can't write messages as I have no one in my contacts on the simulator.
So I thought I would try to install on my iphone in hopes I could get some realistic data and actually use more of the app. However on my device I'm stuck in the registration process, at the "Verify This Device" screen. I give my phone number, and receive the verification SMS, but when I submit the verification number the app just spins forever.
Any tips for someone just getting started? Is there a shortcut to get the app to a representably "normal" working state (verified, with contacts, and messages). Or do I have to spend some more hours debugging through the registration system first as some sort of flogging / right-of-passage?
FWIW I didnât have any of these issues with the App Store version, so Iâm assuming it has something to do with my development configuration.
Thanks!
