Building instructions for Debian 13

  1. Install necessary software

    • sudo apt install cmake golang gperf meson ninja-build sdkmanager wget yasm
    • sudo apt install google-android-platform-35-installer google-android-build-tools-35.0.0-installer google-android-ndk-r21e-installer google-android-ndk-r23c-installer openjdk-21-jdk-headless

  2. Don't forget to include the submodules when you clone:

    • git clone --recursive https://github.com/forkgram/TelegramAndroid.git

  3. Build native FFmpeg and BoringSSL dependencies:

    • Go to the TMessagesProj/jni folder and execute the following (define the paths to your NDK and Ninja):
    export NDK=/usr/lib/android-sdk/ndk/21.4.7075529
export NINJA_PATH=/usr/bin/ninja
export ANDROID_SDK=/usr/lib/android-sdk
export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/lib/android-sdk
sudo sdkmanager "cmake;3.22.1" --sdk_root /usr/lib/android-sdk
./build_libvpx_clang.sh
./build_ffmpeg_clang.sh
./patch_ffmpeg.sh
./patch_boringssl.sh
./build_boringssl.sh

  4. If you want to publish a modified version of Telegram:

    • You should get your own API key here: https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id and edit a file called gradle.properties in the source root directory. The contents should look like this: 
      APP_ID = 12345
APP_HASH = aaaaaaaabbbbbbccccccfffffff001122
    • Do not use the name Telegram and the standard logo (white paper plane in a blue circle) for your app — or make sure your users understand that it is unofficial
    • Take good care of your users' data and privacy
    • Please remember to publish your code too in order to comply with the licenses

The project can be built with Android Studio or from the command line with gradle:

./gradlew assembleAfatRelease
