• Jetpack

  • Android KTX - Provide concise, idiomatic Kotlin to Jetpack and Android platform APIs.
  • AndroidX - Major improvement to the original Android Support Library, which is no longer maintained.

• Mockito - Mocking framework for tests.

• Roboelectric - Framework used to quickly and reliably run unit tests quick using the JVM.

• GitHub Actions - GitHub actions is used in this project to run the continuous intergration and continuous deployment when a code is pushed to the master branch.
• Fastlane - Fastlane is an open source platform aimed at simplifying Android and iOS deployment. fastlane lets you automate every aspect of your development and release workflow.
• Firebase App Distribution - Makes distributing your apps to trusted testers painless.
