Zulip Mobile

CI Zulip chat PRs Welcome

Zulip Mobile is the official mobile Zulip client, supporting both iOS and Android.

Get the app

Release versions of the app are available here:

You can also help out by running beta versions of the app, and reporting bugs!

Maintenance mode

This codebase built on React Native is a legacy app, which is in maintenance mode as we focus on building a new Zulip mobile app with Flutter. This means:

  • This repository is the source code of the app we're still distributing and recommending for most users, until the new app is fully built and ready to replace it.

  • Feedback is still welcome. Some bugs and feature requests will be naturally resolved by the new app; others won't, and we'll transfer them over when the time comes as issues on the new app. We're happy to do the work of identifying which is which — it's usually easy for us, given the time we've spent in both codebases.

  • The development work we do in this repo is kept to a minimum: we fix critical bugs, and we add support for a few of the new features being added to Zulip on the web and desktop, those where the leverage from mobile support is highest.

  • We aren't able to spend significant time investigating other bugs, or reviewing PRs from contributors. We're investing that time instead in getting the new Flutter app finished and into all our users' hands as soon as possible.

Contributing (old)

If you're interested in contributing to Zulip's mobile apps, see the new Flutter-based app.

Details below are from when this app was in active development. Some details may still be useful, but bear in mind that this app is in maintenance mode as described above.

Discussion

To get involved in Zulip Mobile development, please join us on the Zulip community Zulip server, in the #mobile-dev-help channel. Come say hello, discuss areas to work on, and ask and answer questions.

Bug reports and feedback from using the app are welcome. For those, please use the #mobile channel; that helps a wider set of Zulip contributors see your feedback.

Using the beta

One important way to contribute is to run beta versions of the app, and report bugs! To get the beta:

Bug reports are welcome either in the #mobile stream or on this GitHub repo.

Development

Zulip Mobile is written in JavaScript with React Native. To get started with the code, follow this doc:

Then see our Contribution Guidelines, and come say hello in the #mobile-dev-help stream.

For more reading, take a look at our developer docs.

History

Zulip Mobile supersedes two legacy Zulip apps, zulip-ios and zulip-android (more history).
