What this builds

Capability How
Forge sigil PanelBar — one biometric creates passkey-DID + wallet
Deploy contract Deploy the Compact contract to Midnight
Create poll Organizer-only via SHA-256 admin key match
Cast vote Select one of 4 options, ZK-proved on-device
Close poll Only the admin key holder can close
Live results observeLedger() streams state changes reactively

Warning: local.properties must exist with sdk.dir=... or the AGP android block can't resolve compileSdk. Android Studio creates it; in CI you must create it manually or use an env var.


2) Prerequisites

2.1) Toolchain

java --version               # JDK 17+
node --version                # Node.js 18+
compact update 0.31.0         # Install Compact compiler
compact list                  # Verify 0.31.0 is the default

2.2) Android Setup

  • Android Studio Ladybug+
  • Device/emulator Android 13+ (API 33+) with screen lock set
  • Domain for passkey rpId (or use GitHub Pages)
  • Google Password Manager (GMS Core 23.40.13+)

2.3) Gradle wrapper

The wrapper at gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties must specify Gradle 8.13 (matching AGP 8.13.2):

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.13-bin.zip
networkTimeout=10000
validateDistributionUrl=true
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

3) Gradle Configuration

3.1) gradle.propertiesREQUIRED

Without this file, Gradle uses defaults that make the build extremely slow or break the configuration cache:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.nonTransitiveRClass=true
kotlin.code.style=official

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
org.gradle.caching=true
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.configuration-cache=true

Failure mode: Without android.useAndroidX=true, the SDK's AppCompatActivity dependency resolves to the old support library and fails at runtime with ClassNotFoundException.

Failure mode: Without org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m, KSP+Hilt together can OOM on large-ish projects. Bump to -Xmx4096m if you see OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace.

Failure mode: org.gradle.configuration-cache=true will break if your app/build.gradle.kts accesses project files at configuration time (e.g., file("../contract")). The Copy tasks below avoid this by using rootProject.file() with doFirst, but if you add a plugin that reads files during evaluation, disable configuration cache.

3.2) settings.gradle.kts

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        google {
            content {
                includeGroupByRegex("com\\.android.*")
                includeGroupByRegex("com\\.google.*")
                includeGroupByRegex("androidx.*")
            }
        }
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

rootProject.name = "kuira-starter-android"
include(":app")

Gotcha: FAILONPROJECT_REPOS means you CANNOT declare repositories { ... } inside app/build.gradle.kts. If a library isn't in google() or mavenCentral(), add it to dependencyResolutionManagement here.

3.3) Root build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.android.application) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.android) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.compose) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.ksp) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.hilt) apply false
}

Note: The Kuira contract plugin (io.github.kuiralabs.contract) and localnet plugin (io.github.kuiralabs.localnet) are applied by ID and version directly in app/build.gradle.kts, not through the version catalog. They do NOT appear here.

hilt = { id = "com.google.dagger.hilt.android", version.ref = "hilt" }

Version pinning rules:

  • AGP and Gradle wrapper MUST match major.minor: AGP 8.13.x ↔ Gradle 8.13
  • Kotlin and KSP MUST match exactly: Kotlin 2.3.20 ↔ KSP 2.3.6
  • Compose BOM and Compose compiler plugin are coupled via

kotlin-compose plugin — do NOT set a compose-compiler version manually

  • Hilt and ksp-hilt must match the Hilt version (the ksp artifact

resolves transitively, no explicit dep needed)

Plugin details:

io.github.kuiralabs.contract — processes the kuiraContract { ... } block. It:

  1. Registers validateKuiraContractSource — fails the build with a

clear message if ../contract/src/managed/voting doesn't exist

  1. Registers syncContractAssets — copies JS + keys into

src/main/assets/{runtime,keys}/

  1. Wires syncContractAssets into preBuild
  2. The bundleWalletKeys.set(true) flag makes the plugin copy

.bzkir bundle files into assets during the bundle task

io.github.kuiralabs.localnet — auto-runs adb reverse for the localnet ports on physical devices during installDebug. No-op on emulators (they use 10.0.2.2).

Why both plugin and Copy task? The kuiraContract plugin handles the primary source automatically (syncing JS + keys + bundleWalletKeys). The hand-rolled Copy task exists in the starter codebase as an explicit parallel sync. For this skill, the plugin alone is sufficient; the Copy task is provided for clarity.

Failure mode: If minSdk < 30, the SDK fails at runtime because it depends on android.security.identity.IdentityCredential (API 30+) and CredentialManager (API 34+, with API 30+ fallback path).

Failure mode: If compileSdk != 36 or targetSdk != 36, the Kuira SDK's WalletNotifications.PERMISSION constant (POST_NOTIFICATIONS added API 33, behavior change in API 34) may not resolve correctly. Keep compileSdk = 36.


4) Android Resources

4.1) app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="app_name">Kuira Starter</string>
</resources>

4.2) app/src/main/res/values/themes.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="Theme.KuiraStarter" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/black</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Why AppCompat parent? MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity (not ComponentActivity) because the SDK's SigilStatusPanel hosts a biometric prompt internally. The prompt requires a FragmentActivityAppCompatActivity satisfies that; ComponentActivity does not. The theme XML must have a compatible parent.

4.3) app/src/main/res/xml/networksecurityconfig.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">localhost</domain>
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">127.0.0.1</domain>
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">10.0.2.2</domain>
    </domain-config>
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false" />
</network-security-config>

Prefer this over android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in the manifest. Both work on localnet, but this approach doesn't open cleartext to the whole internet for the debug build. If you use the debug manifest approach (see §4.5), it's enabled only for the debug build type, so it's also safe.

4.4) Main AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application
        android:name=".KuiraStarterApp"
        android:allowBackup="false"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.KuiraStarter">

        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.KuiraStarter">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Network config: The android:networkSecurityConfig attribute pointing to @xml/networksecurityconfig allows cleartext to localhost/emulator host for localnet without globally enabling it.

4.5) Debug manifest (alternative to networksecurityconfig)

app/src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" />
</manifest>

Merge rules: the debug manifest is merged into the main manifest for debug builds only. It's simpler than the security config approach but opens cleartext to ALL hosts, not just localnet.

Failure mode: If you use both networkSecurityConfig AND usesCleartextTraffic="true", the security config wins. If the config doesn't include the right domain, cleartext still fails.


5) Contract

5.1) contract/package.json

{
  "name": "@yourapp/voting-contract",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "description": "Voting contract for the Kuira Voting dApp. Compiled artifacts under src/managed/voting/ are consumed by the Android app via the kuiraContract Gradle plugin.",
  "scripts": {
    "compile:voting": "compact compile +0.31.0 src/voting.compact src/managed/voting && node scripts/patch-voting.js",
    "inspect:voting": "mn contract inspect --managed src/managed/voting"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime": "0.16.0"
  },
  "engines": {
    "compactc": "0.31.0"
  }
}

Failure mode: Runtime version mismatch. The compiled JS at src/managed/voting/contract/index.js has a hard-coded runtime version require. If the @midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime version in package.json doesn't match what the compiler baked in at compile time, the Android app throws a JS runtime error when loading the contract.

Symptoms: "Could not find module '@midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime'" or a cryptic TypeError from the JS engine.

Fix: Check contract-info.json in the managed output:

cat src/managed/voting/compiler/contract-info.json
# Look for "runtime-version" — must match package.json's dep

If they differ, either bump @midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime in package.json to match, or recompile with the correct toolchain version.

The +0.31.0 pin on the compact compile command is critical. Without it, the command uses whatever compiler compact toolchain has as default, which may mismatch the runtime version the contract was last compiled with. Always pin.

5.2) contract/scripts/patch-voting.js

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

const file = path.join(__dirname, '..', 'src', 'managed', 'voting', 'contract', 'index.js');
let src = fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8');

src = src.replace(
  "const optionIdx_0 = args_1[1]",
  "let optionIdx_0 = args_1[1];\n        if (typeof optionIdx_0 !== 'bigint') optionIdx_0 = BigInt(optionIdx_0)"
);

fs.writeFileSync(file, src, 'utf8');
console.log('Patched BigInt shim into voting contract JS');

Why this patch is needed: The Kuira SDK's Kotlin-to-JS bridge sends Kotlin Long as JS number, not bigint. The Compact type Uint<64> expects bigint. Without the patch, castVote(0) passes 0 (JS number) which fails typeof checks inside the runtime.

Failure mode: If compact compile generates different variable names, this string match silently no-ops. After any toolchain bump, diff contract/index.js against a known-good copy.

Failure mode: The patched line assumes optionIdx0 = args1[1] is the first argument to the castVote circuit. This is compiler- generated and can change. Always verify the patch works after recompiling.

5.3) contract/src/voting.compact

Key contract design decisions:

  • No created ledger field. Unlike typical CRUD contracts, this

contract doesn't track whether a poll has been created. The UI infers this from pollQuestion != "". Calling createPoll twice would overwrite the first poll (there's no assert(!created) guard). This is intentional for simplicity.

  • deriveAdminKey is a pure circuit. This means it produces no

public output on its own — it's only used inside other circuits. The pure keyword means the circuit has no ledger writes and no public inputs; it's a helper function.

  • >= 0.22 language version range (not exact). This accepts any

compatible 0.22.x compiler. The compact compile +0.31.0 command line pin is what actually selects the compiler.

  • pollClosed is set to true via disclose(). When the poll

is closed, pollClosed becomes public and visible on-chain. Before closing, it defaults to false (from the constructor).

  • No double-vote guard. There's no Set<Bytes<32>> checking

voter identity. The hasVoted flag in the UI is just a local cache from observeLedger(). A user who votes, reinstalls, and votes again would succeed. This is by design for this simple contract.

  • adminKeyHash is set in createPoll, not in the constructor.

The constructor initializes it to... nothing (the Compact default). This means the first createPoll sets the admin key; subsequent calls would overwrite it (there's no guard). The Android side's closePoll assert checks against the CURRENT adminKeyHash, so only someone who knows adminSecret() can close.

5.4) Compile the contract

cd contract
npm install
npm run compile:voting

Expected output:

Compiling 3 circuits:
  circuit "createPoll" (k=...)
  circuit "castVote" (k=...)
  circuit "closePoll" (k=...)
Patched BigInt shim into voting contract JS

If the patch line doesn't appear, the contract/index.js doesn't have the expected variable name. Check and update the regex.

After compiling, verify the runtime version:

cat src/managed/voting/compiler/contract-info.json
# Confirm runtime-version matches @midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime in package.json

6) Application & DI

6.1) KuiraStarterApp.kt

package com.kuiralabs.starter.counter

import android.app.Application
import com.midnight.kuira.sdk.walletruntime.SessionLock
import com.midnight.kuira.sdk.walletruntime.WalletForegroundService
import dagger.hilt.android.HiltAndroidApp

@HiltAndroidApp
class KuiraStarterApp : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        SessionLock.attach(this)
        WalletForegroundService.attach(this)
    }
}

SessionLock.attach(this) registers the app-level session lock triggers: background detection (screen off / home button) and idle timeout. Per-Activity reset is handled by onUserInteraction.

WalletForegroundService.attach(this) keeps wallet operations (dust sync, send, contract calls) alive when the app backgrounds. Shows a progress notification; tears down on foreground or lock.

Failure mode: If you forget @HiltAndroidApp, Dagger can't initialize the dependency graph and you get a runtime crash on launch (dagger.hilt.internal.NoopComponentManager).

6.2) di/PasskeyConfigModule.kt

package com.kuiralabs.starter.counter.di

import com.midnight.kuira.core.identity.passkey.PasskeyConfig
import dagger.Module
import dagger.Provides
import dagger.hilt.InstallIn
import dagger.hilt.components.SingletonComponent
import javax.inject.Singleton

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
object PasskeyConfigModule {

    private const val PASSKEY_RP_ID = "YOUR_DOMAIN.example.com"

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun providePasskeyConfig(): PasskeyConfig =
        PasskeyConfig(rpId = PASSKEY_RP_ID, rpName = "Kuira Sigil")
}

Why Dagger won't compile without this: The Kuira SDK declares PasskeyConfig as a required binding in its own module. If the consuming app doesn't provide one, Dagger fails at compile time with [Dagger/MissingBinding] PasskeyConfig is injected at .... This is intentional — the SDK can't know your domain.

Passkey domain setup:

  1. Set PASSKEYRPID to a domain you control
  2. Host assetlinks.json at https://<rpId>/.well-known/assetlinks.json

with your app's applicationId and signing SHA-256: ``bash ./gradlew signingReport | grep SHA-256 ` `json [{ "relation": ["delegatepermission/common.handleallurls"], "target": { "namespace": "androidapp", "packagename": "com.kuiralabs.starter.counter", "sha256cert_fingerprints": ["SHA-256:..."] } }] ``

Failure mode: RPIDMISMATCH at runtime: the passkey credential was created with one rpId but you're now using a different one. Only solution: delete the credential from Google Password Manager and re-create it.

            )
        }
}

Critical pattern: object vs class — this is a singleton, not a per-instance class. The ADMIN_SECRET is hardcoded as ByteArray(32) { 0x42 } (all 0x42 bytes). Every deploy from the same APK uses the same admin secret. Anyone who decompiles the APK gets the admin key for every deployed poll.

WitnessResult(null, ADMIN_SECRET): The first parameter is privateState: Any?—here null because no private state is needed. The second is the witness byte array. WitnessResult wraps both into a single object returned by the witness function.

MidnightContract.create(sdk.config) { ... } DSL builder:

  • name: used as a key for the contract JS asset lookup
  • contractJs: an InputStream to the contract JS file
  • address: the on-chain address (null for deploy)
  • coinPublicKey: needed for write operations (signing)
  • circuitVerifierKeys: map of circuit name → verifier key bytes
  • witness(name) { ... }: registers a witness provider

Asset path convention: The contract JS goes in assets/runtime/ and verifier keys go in assets/keys/. The kuiraContract Gradle plugin copies them there automatically from the managed output directory.

Failure mode: IllegalStateException: Contract JS not found at assets/runtime/voting-contract.js. The asset wasn't synced. Run ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug to trigger the sync, then check app/src/main/assets/ exists with the right files.

Failure mode: getBytes(LEDGERFIELDADMINKEYHASH, 32) throws if adminKeyHash hasn't been set yet (before createPoll). The contract doesn't initialize adminKeyHash in the constructor, so it may be all-zeros or an undefined value. The actual contract sets it in createPoll. The UI must handle adminKeyHash being absent.

7.2) data/ContractAddressStore.kt

package com.kuiralabs.starter.counter.data

import android.content.Context
import androidx.security.crypto.EncryptedSharedPreferences
import androidx.security.crypto.MasterKey
import com.midnight.kuira.core.network.MidnightNetwork
import dagger.hilt.android.qualifiers.ApplicationContext
import javax.inject.Inject
import javax.inject.Singleton

@Singleton
class ContractAddressStore @Inject constructor(
    @ApplicationContext context: Context,
) {

    private val masterKey = MasterKey.Builder(context)
        .setKeyScheme(MasterKey.KeyScheme.AES256_GCM)
        .build()

    private val prefs = EncryptedSharedPreferences.create(
        context,
        "kuira-starter-contract-prefs",
        masterKey,
        EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefKeyEncryptionScheme.AES256_SIV,
        EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefValueEncryptionScheme.AES256_GCM,
    )

    fun get(network: MidnightNetwork, prefix: String = "voting"): String? =
        prefs.getString("$prefix.${network.name}", null)

    fun put(network: MidnightNetwork, prefix: String = "voting", address: String) {
        prefs.edit().putString("$prefix.${network.name}", address).apply()
    }

    fun clear(network: MidnightNetwork, prefix: String = "voting") {
        prefs.edit().remove("$prefix.${network.name}").apply()
    }
}

The default prefix is "voting", matching the VotingContract name. Each network gets its own slot (e.g. voting.UNDEPLOYED), so switching networks in the wallet panel doesn't strand the previous deploy.

EncryptedSharedPreferences: Uses AES256-GCM for the master key and AES256-SIV for key encryption. The MasterKey.Builder uses Android Keystore under the hood, so the encryption keys are hardware-backed on devices with a TEE.

Failure mode: MasterKey.Builder.setKeyScheme requires API 23+. The minSdk is 30, so this is fine. But if you backport to lower minSdk, use MasterKey.DEFAULTMASTERKEY_ALIAS instead.


8) UI Layer

8.1) ui/VotingUiState.kt

package com.kuiralabs.starter.counter.ui

sealed interface VotingUiState {
    data object NotReady : VotingUiState
    data object ReadyToDeploy : VotingUiState
    data class Deployed(
        val address: String,
        val pollQuestion: String?,
        val pollOptions: List<String>?,
        val adminKeyHash: ByteArray?,
        val voteCount: Long?,
        val tallies: List<Long>?,
        val pollClosed: Boolean?,
        val hasVoted: Boolean,
    ) : VotingUiState
}

Note: adminKeyHash: ByteArray? — it's nullable because the contract doesn't set it until createPoll is called. Before that, the ledger doesn't have a meaningful value for this field.

hasVoted is a local boolean — it's set to true in the ViewModel after a successful castVote(). It's NOT persisted across process death. A ViewModel destroy (e.g., activity kill due to memory pressure) resets it to false. There's no persisted "has voted" flag in this codebase.

}

Key patterns:

  • Network selection: sdkProvider.selectedNetwork is a

StateFlow<MidnightNetwork>. The SDK's PanelBar composable binds to it. The ViewModel reads it to pass to ContractAddressStore.

  • recomputeState vs applyLedger: recomputeState is called

when the SDK or network changes (e.g., wallet unlock, network switch). It resets to initial state. applyLedger is called when the on-chain ledger updates (via observeLedger() or manual readLedger()). It preserves the Deployed state and fills in live data.

  • readHandle caching: A MidnightContract handle for read-only

access is cached per address. When the address changes (e.g., deploying a new contract), the old handle is discarded.

  • runAction error handling: Catches ALL exceptions and surfaces

the message. A failed closePoll (wrong admin secret) throws CircuitExecutionException("Only admin can close poll"). The _callStage progress is cleared in the finally block.

  • ContractCallStage: The SDK defines a sealed interface for

deploy/call progress. It's surfaced via the ContractCallProgressBar composable. The ViewModel exposes it as callStage: StateFlow.

  • observeLedger().catch { }: Silently swallows ledger

observation errors. If the connection drops during observation, it won't crash the ViewModel. The UI will just stop updating until the next user action triggers readAndUpdateLedger.

PanelBar(floating=true) renders a floating sigil chip (left) and wallet chip (right). It's the SDK's recommended pairing — the sigil chip handles forge/create/import, the wallet chip shows balance and provides send/receive/dust registration.

WindowInsets.safeDrawing ensures the content avoids display cutouts and system bars.

import androidx.compose.material3.MaterialTheme

import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable

private val VoteDarkColorScheme = darkColorScheme(
    primary = PrimaryRed,
    onPrimary = White,
    primaryContainer = DarkRed,
    onPrimaryContainer = LightRedBg,
    secondary = AccentYellow,
    onSecondary = NearBlack,
    secondaryContainer = DarkYellow,
    onSecondaryContainer = LightYellow,
    tertiary = AccentGreen,

    error = Color(0xFFCF6679),
    onError = NearBlack,
    errorContainer = Color(0xFF93000A),

@Composable
fun VoteTheme(
    darkTheme: Boolean = isSystemInDarkTheme(),
    content: @Composable () -> Unit,
) {
    MaterialTheme(
        colorScheme = VoteDarkColorScheme,
        typography = VoteTypography,
        content = content,
    )
}

The theme is dark-only. All three files are required — omitting any one breaks the build.

8.6) MainActivity.kt

package com.kuiralabs.starter.counter

import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.activity.compose.setContent
import androidx.activity.result.contract.ActivityResultContracts
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxSize
import androidx.compose.material3.Surface
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import com.kuiralabs.starter.counter.ui.VotingScreen
import com.kuiralabs.starter.counter.ui.theme.VoteTheme
import com.midnight.kuira.dapp.wallet.WalletAppShell
import com.midnight.kuira.sdk.walletruntime.WalletNotifications
import com.midnight.kuira.sdk.walletruntime.SessionLock
import dagger.hilt.android.AndroidEntryPoint
import javax.inject.Inject

@AndroidEntryPoint
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    @Inject lateinit var sessionLock: SessionLock

    private val notifPermission =
        registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission()) {}

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        if (WalletNotifications.shouldRequest(this)) {
            notifPermission.launch(WalletNotifications.PERMISSION)
        }
        setContent {
            WalletAppShell {
                VoteTheme {
                    Surface(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
                        VotingScreen()
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    override fun onUserInteraction() {
        super.onUserInteraction()
        sessionLock.onUserActivity()
    }
}

Why AppCompatActivity? The SDK's SigilStatusPanel hosts a biometric prompt, which requires FragmentActivity. AppCompatActivity is a subclass of FragmentActivity; ComponentActivity is not.

WalletAppShell wraps:

  • SessionLockGate — shows a lock screen overlay when the session

is locked (auto-lock or manual lock)

  • WalletOverlayHost — hosts full-screen Send/Receive/Settings

overlays in the activity window

WalletNotifications.shouldRequest(this) checks API 33+ POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission relevance. If the app needs to show progress notifications for background wallet ops, this should be requested. It's best-effort — denial doesn't break functionality.


9) Failure Modes & Troubleshooting

9.1) Build failures

Symptom Cause Fix
Could not find method kuiraContract() io.github.kuiralabs.contract plugin not applied Check the plugin ID and version in app/build.gradle.kts
Cannot access class 'com.midnight.kuira.*' Kuira dep not resolved Check mavenCentral() in settings.gradle.kts, verify kuira version in catalog
[Dagger/MissingBinding] PasskeyConfig No PasskeyConfigModule Create the module (§6.2)
OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace Not enough JVM heap Bump org.gradle.jvmargs to -Xmx4096m
Configuration cache state found but cache is disabled Changed config cache setting mid-project Delete ~/.gradle/configuration-cache/ and rebuild
Could not find required SDK platform API 36 SDK platform not installed Install Android SDK Platform 36
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot load contract JS Asset not synced Run ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug to trigger kuiraContract sync
IllegalStateException: Contract not compiled at .../managed/voting kuiraContract.validateKuiraContractSource failing Run npm run compile:voting in contract/

9.2) Runtime failures

Symptom Cause Fix
"Could not find module '@midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime'" Runtime version mismatch Check contract-info.json vs package.json (§5.1)
CircuitExecutionException: Only admin can close poll Wrong witness value The hardcoded ADMIN_SECRET matches or it doesn't. No recovery from a different device.
CircuitExecutionException: Poll is closed Already closed Wait for next poll — no reopen circuit exists
TypeError: optionIdx_0 is not a function BigInt patch failed Check patch-voting.js matches the generated JS (§5.2)
SessionLock attach failed Called from wrong lifecycle Call in Application.onCreate(), not Activity.onCreate()
WalletNotifications.shouldRequest crash on API < 33 Runtime check not guarded The SDK handles this internally; if it crashes, you may have minSdk < 30
NullPointerException on readLedger before createPoll adminKeyHash is undefined Handle VotingLedger.adminKeyHash being all-zeros or null in UI
App shows "Forge a sigil" but user already has one SDK state reset Clear app data and re-forge, or check logcat for SigilStateProvider errors

9.3) Network failures

Symptom Cause Fix
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused Localnet not running Run mn localnet up
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException Cleartext blocked on localnet Add 10.0.2.2 to networksecurityconfig.xml (§4.3) or use debug manifest (§4.5)
RPIDMISMATCH Passkey domain changed Delete credential in Google Password Manager, re-forge
INSUFFICIENT_DUST Wallet not funded Airdrop NIGHT and register dust (§10.2)
Transaction pending forever Indexer not synced Wait for observeLedger() to emit or check indexer health

9.4) Contract compilation failures

Symptom Cause Fix
Error: Unknown compiler version +0.31.0 compactc not installed at that version compact update 0.31.0
Could not find package '@midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime' npm deps not installed cd contract && npm install
Syntax error: expected ';' Language version mismatch Check pragma language_version matches toolchain
The compiler cannot find module Import path issue Ensure contract-info.json paths are relative

9.5) Gradle version catalog gotchas

  • Kotlin ↔ KSP version coupling: Kotlin 2.3.20 requires KSP

2.3.6. If you upgrade Kotlin to 2.3.21, you MUST also find and upgrade KSP to the matching version. The KSP version format is <kotlin-version>-<ksp-release>.

  • AppCompat 1.7.x requires fragment-ktx 1.8.x — mixing a newer

appcompat with an older fragment causes NoSuchMethodError: Fragment.getParentFragmentManager().

  • AGP ↔ Gradle coupling: AGP 8.13 requires Gradle 8.13. If you

change the wrapper distribution URL, the buildscript classpath will fail.

  • Compose BOM and compiler: The kotlin-compose plugin in Kotlin

2.0+ replaces the old composeOptions { kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion } block. Do NOT set a compose compiler version manually — the BOM and plugin coordinate automatically.


10) Wallet & Deploy Flow

10.1) Prerequisite: Passkey domain

  1. Pick a domain you control (e.g., yourname.github.io)
  2. Upload assetlinks.json to https://<domain>/.well-known/
  3. Set PASSKEYRPID in PasskeyConfigModule.kt

10.2) Wallet funding (localnet)

  1. Open app, tap Forge sigil in the wallet panel
  2. Copy wallet address from the wallet panel
  3. Airdrop NIGHT:

``bash mn airdrop 1000 --wallet <addr> --network undeployed ``

  1. In app, tap Register dust in the wallet panel
  2. Wait ~30 seconds for dust sync
  3. Tap Deploy contract

10.3) Using the app

  1. Create poll: Enter question + options (comma-separated), tap

"Create poll". Wait for the transaction to confirm.

  1. Cast vote: Tap an option card. The ContractCallProgressBar

shows ZK proving progress. After success, the "You Voted" badge appears and tallies update.

  1. Close poll: Tap "Close poll" (only works on the device that

deployed). After close, the "Closed" badge appears and voting is disabled.

  1. Switch network: Use the network selector in PanelBar. Each

network has its own deployed contract address.

  1. Disconnect: Clears the persisted address, returns to deploy

screen.


11) Testing & Verification

Localnet flow

# Start localnet (Docker stack)
mn localnet up

# Compile contract
cd contract && npm install && npm run compile:voting

# Install + run
cd .. && ./gradlew :app:installDebug

Verify APK assets

./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
unzip -l app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk | grep voting
# Expected:
#   assets/runtime/voting-contract.js
#   assets/keys/createPoll.verifier
#   assets/keys/castVote.verifier
#   assets/keys/closePoll.verifier
#   assets/keys/createPoll.prover
#   assets/keys/castVote.prover
#   assets/keys/closePoll.prover
#   assets/keys/*.bzkir    (if bundleWalletKeys is enabled)

Pre-release check

./gradlew kuiraDoctor

Catches: missing PasskeyConfig binding, unhosted assetlinks.json, stale contract artifacts, missing assets.


12) Toolchain Bump Procedure

When compactc, the language version, or @midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime updates:

  1. compact update <new-version> and compact list to confirm
  2. Bump engines.compactc in contract/package.json
  3. Bump @midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime in contract/package.json
  4. CRITICAL: Update the +<version> pin in compile:voting script
  5. Check scripts/patch-voting.js against newly generated JS —

variable names may have changed

  1. rm -rf src/managed/voting && npm run compile:voting
  2. Verify runtime version in contract-info.json matches

package.json

  1. ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug to trigger asset resync
  2. Run the localnet flow to verify deploy + createPoll + castVote +

closePoll all work

  1. ./gradlew kuiraDoctor
  2. Commit regenerated artifacts
