File not found when trying to compile Telegram source code
I’m trying to build an app like Telegram. I downloaded their source code ( https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram) (for Android).
My main problem is that when I try to compile the code and export it to my phone, I get this error using Android Studio :
Error: There is a problem with the configuration of the discovery task “:TMessagesProj:packageDebug”.
File ‘C:\Users\Bogdan\Desktop\Telegram\Telegram-master\TMessagesProj\config\debug.keystore’ specified for property ‘signingConfig.storeFile’ does not exist.
It is clear that there is one file missing, but which one, how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
P.S. Could you please provide a link to the source code of an application similar to this application or similar to WhatsApp?
Solution
Change Telegram/TMessagesProj/build.gradle and remove or comment out the signing options in the gradle configuration as follows:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.2.+'
compile 'net.hockeyapp.android:HockeySDK:3.5.+'
compile 'com.googlecode.mp4parser:isoparser:1.0.+'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}
/**
signingConfigs {
debug {
storeFile file("config/debug.keystore")
}
release {

storePassword RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD

keyPassword RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD
}
}
