[Unknown] @dcardinal , if you are specifically referring to downloads, you are exactly right, platform-release is the combination of platform and platform-client , pre-arranged in an opinionated way to install them together at once.
A more flexible installation would result from downloading and setting up platform and platform-client separately , but the product functions would be the same.
@ChiefObiorah_twitter This came up last year:
[David Losada, Ushahidi] for the mobile app, I think the Ushahidi branding files are not included in the open source repository . The branding folder contains the following files:
android_banner.png: PNG image data, 1280 x 720, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced android_feature.png: PNG image data, 1024 x 500, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced android_icon.png: PNG image data, 512 x 512, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced android_promo.png: PNG image data, 180 x 120, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced build.json: JSON data icon.png: PNG image data, 1024 x 1024, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced splash.png: PNG image data, 2732 x 2732, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
you would have those files underprojects/<your project name>in the mobile source repo . And then set the environment variable PROJECT=<your project name> as the ionic commands are invoked
[John Obiorah] [1656331230] Sameroom: [David Losada, Ushahidi] that’s https://github.com/ushahidi/platform-mobile , @John Obiorah
<<< Thank you guys.
[John Obiorah] [1658129695] Sameroom: [Unknown] hi @John Obiorah . It should just be a matter of having the configured the proper URL pointing at the API endpoint /sms/smssync , and the same shared secret key of your choosing
<<< So how exactly would I get this accomplished. Do you have a documentation on how to achieve this or could you please tell the file to edit in order to achieve this.

[John Obiorah] [1658154394] Sameroom: [David Losada, Ushahidi] @John Obiorah please take a look at the Platform user manual, if you haven’t yet: https://docs.ushahidi.com/ushahidi-platform-user-manual/3.-configuring-your-deployment/3.4-data-sources#3-4-5-smssync
<<< Many thanks David Losada. The link you shared is quite helpful. The Ushahidi mobile app on Google Play upon download to android devices renders the survey forms broken. I dunno whether this experience has been reported by others using self-hosted platform-release system. Another question I have is what could be to make the Ushahidi deployment to be stunningly fast? Could this be achieved with Redis?
First time we are hearing. @John Obiorah could you please create an issue here : https://github.com/ushahidi/platform/issues ?
There are some bottlenecks we are working on, which makes the stunning bit not really so.. stunning . But yes, any sort of caching, Redis or Memcached will help a great deal. The other thing is the client, make sure your hosting of the client assets is configured for high performance : compression, client-side caching, http/2 are keywords there
