Tailscale Android Client
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains the open source Tailscale Android client.
Using
Building
Go, the Android SDK, the Android NDK are required.
$ make tailscale-debug.apk
$ adb install -r tailscale-debug.apk
The dockershell target builds a container with the necessary
dependencies and runs a shell inside it.
$ make dockershell
# make tailscale-debug.apk
Use make tag_release to bump the Android version code, update the version
name, and tag the current commit.
We only guarantee to support the latest Go release and any Go beta or release candidate builds (currently Go 1.14) in module mode. It might work in earlier Go versions or in GOPATH mode, but we're making no effort to keep those working.
Google Sign-In
Google Sign-In support relies on configuring a Google API Console
project
with the app identifier and signing key
hashes.
The official release uses the app identifier com.tailscale.ipn;
custom builds should use a different identifier.
Running in the Android emulator
By default, the android emulator uses an older version of OpenGL ES, which results in a black screen when opening the Tailscale app. To fix this, with the emulator running:
- Open the three-dots menu to access emulator settings
- To to
Settings > Advanced - Set "OpenGL ES API level" to "Renderer maximum (up to OpenGL ES 3.1)"
- Close the emulator.
- In Android Studio's emulator view (that lists all your emulated devices), hit the down arrow by the virtual device and select "Cold boot now" to restart the emulator from scratch.
The Tailscale app should now render correctly.
Additionally, there seems to be a bug that prevents using the system-level Google sign-in option (the one that pops up a system-level UI to select your Google account). You can work around this by selecting "Other" at the sign-in screen, and then selecting Google from the next screen.
