What is it?

WordPress for Android is the open-source Kotlin codebase behind the official WordPress app on Google Play. Users can sign in to a self-hosted WordPress site by entering its address and credentials, or log in with a WordPress.com account.

The repository is aimed at developers who want to build, run, or contribute to the app. It includes Gradle commands for assembling the debug APK, installing it on an emulator or device, and running unit and Android instrumented tests. Full WordPress.com features such as the Reader and Stats require the developer to supply their own OAuth2 client ID and secret, and Google Sign-In is only functional in the official build.

The project is distributed under GPL-2.0, and the code in its libs directory comes from external libraries that may carry compatible licenses.
