Create a database in the Ditto Cloud Portal - https://portal.ditto.live

Both the iOS and Android apps read their credentials from a single .env file in the repository root. From the repository root:

1. Copy the template:

cp .env.template .env

2. Open .env and substitute your own values from the portal:

DITTO_DATABASE_ID=replace_with_your_database_id
DITTO_DEVELOPMENT_TOKEN=replace_with_your_development_token
DITTO_SERVER_URL=replace_with_your_url

.env is gitignored and is shared by both platforms.

1. Open the app project in Xcode and clean (Command + Shift + K).
2. In the project's Signing & Capabilities tab, set the Team and Bundle Identifier to your Apple developer account to provision building to your device.
3. Build the project (Command + B) — the build reads the root .env and generates Env.swift.

Open the Android project in Android Studio and build/run — the Gradle build reads the root .env automatically. No additional setup is required beyond the root .env above.
