Hardening from the first real end-to-end runs against the app: - build-apk.sh: guard bitbox on the api.aar artifact (not the dir); unshallow the reown_flutter tarball so prepare_reown.sh can checkout its pinned commit (the tarball ships a shallow repo -> "unable to read tree"); generate reown uniffi bindings when absent. - capture.sh boot: API 35 + `-gpu software -feature -Vulkan`. API 36.1's guest encoder is broken (screenrecord err=-38, screencap DMA assert) under both swiftshader_indirect and -gpu host; API 35 works. - capture.sh: defer screenrecord until the app is foregrounded (flutter drive builds for minutes; the 180s cap must cover the scenario, not the build); match the target device by AVD name so a co-running emulator isn't hijacked; record to /data/local/tmp (headless /sdcard FUSE is flaky). - README: document the API-35 requirement and reasoning.
Hash Bags capture harness
Drives the real app through real wallet flows on an emulator while recording the screen, then cuts the recording into store screenshots and marketing video.
One recording produces both deliverables. Screenshots are pulled from the same footage as the video, at the timestamps the scenario reports, so a listing can't drift out of sync with its own trailer.

Quick start
cp tools/demo/demo.env.example tools/demo/demo.env # fill in, gitignored
export BW_SESSION=$(bw unlock --raw) # Vaultwarden
tools/demo/build-apk.sh # optional but recommended — see below
tools/demo/capture.sh boot # 1080x1920 headless AVD
tools/demo/capture.sh all # record every scenario + assemble a reel
build-apk.sh is not a strict prerequisite — capture.sh record runs
flutter drive, which builds its own instrumented debug APK. Run it first
anyway on a fresh checkout: it validates the entire toolchain in one shot,
mints the local signing key, and warms the Gradle cache, so your first record
doesn't spend twenty minutes compiling only to hit a config error. It also
leaves you a sideloadable APK.
Individual steps:
tools/demo/capture.sh record core_store_set
tools/demo/capture.sh shots core_store_set
tools/demo/capture.sh reel social
tools/demo/capture.sh reel apple-preview --overlays none
Output lands in ~/Build/hash-wallet/demo/ (never in the repo), split into
raw/, cut/, screenshots/ and publish/.
Scenarios
| Scenario | Shows | Notes |
|---|---|---|
core_store_set |
Dashboard, Receive, Send, Wallets, Security | The store screenshot set. Send is composed, never broadcast. |
onboarding_create |
Welcome → PIN → seed → dashboard | Creates a throwaway wallet. Never fund it. |
restore_from_seed |
Restore from mnemonic → syncing | Uses the demo wallet seed. |
swap_and_buy |
Trocador swap quote, Buy | Stops before creating a trade. Buy is skipped when no provider key is present. |
Scenarios reuse the existing page robots in integration_test/robots/. They
are not correctness tests — they add pacing (beat, hold, typeSlowly) so
the footage is watchable, and timing marks so captions land on the right frame.
Seed safety
The demo wallet is a real wallet with a real balance — that is what makes the screenshots honest, and it is also why the harness is paranoid:
- The seed lives in Vaultwarden. It is fetched at capture time into one shell
variable and passed as a
--dart-define. It is never written to the repo, to.secrets.g.dart, or todemo.env. DemoSession.guardNoSeedOnScreen()fails the run if a mnemonic is rendered while recording. It checks for the known demo seed (whole and word-scattered) and for the generic shape of a mnemonic, so a freshly generated seed is caught too.- Flows that must pass through a seed screen wrap it in
blindfold(). Those spans are reported to the host and excised from the video, padded by 0.6s on each side. Screenshots use the same padding. marks.py manifestrefuses to build a publishable master if any clip was cut without marks, since blindfold spans could not have been excised.
Do not lift those guards to get a nicer shot.
Overlays and the Apple App Preview
Touch indicators are the system-level ripple (settings put system show_touches 1), not a composited fake cursor — so they appear in the
recording exactly as a user would see them.
They are on by default, and force-disabled for apple-preview.
capture.sh reel apple-preview refuses to run against footage recorded with
--overlays taps. The App Preview shows the app as-is: no touch indicators,
no captions, no title/CTA cards, no music bed. reel.py also enforces
Apple's 15–30s duration window and will fail rather than emit an out-of-spec
preview.
The capture AVD (both details matter)
Create it as API 35, at exactly 1080×1920:
avdmanager create avd -n HashBags_Capture \
-k "system-images;android-35;google_apis;x86_64" -d pixel_6
# then in ~/.android/avd/HashBags_Capture.avd/config.ini:
# hw.lcd.width=1080 hw.lcd.height=1920 hw.lcd.density=420
# hw.ramSize=6144 showDeviceFrame=no
Size: the stock "Medium Phone" AVD is 1080×2400 = 2.22:1, and Play
rejects phone screenshots above 2:1. marks.py shots warns if extracted
frames violate that ratio.
API level: use 35, not 36. On the API 36.1 image the guest MediaCodec AVC
encoder is broken — screenrecord fails with Encoder failed (err=-38) at
every resolution and writes a 0-byte file, and screencap aborts on a
SwiftShader DMA assertion. Verified broken under swiftshader_indirect and
under -gpu host on a real NVIDIA GPU. API 35 + -gpu software
-feature -Vulkan(whatcapture.sh bootuses) works.
iOS App Store screenshots and the App Preview still have to come from a Mac —
see store/SCREENSHOTS.md for the fastlane snapshot path.
Why a container for the build
The repo pins Flutter 3.32.0. A host Flutter 3.38+ cannot resolve the
dependency set at all — hive_generator wants an analyzer that still ships
the macros package, which newer Dart SDKs removed. build-apk.sh therefore
builds inside the same image CI uses.
It also mints a throwaway signing key: android/app/build.gradle wires the
debug build type to signingConfigs.release, so a local build cannot even
configure without a keystore. A capture APK must never be signed with the Play
upload key, and minting a separate one keeps that impossible by construction.
Reusing this elsewhere
reel.py imports such_graphics.video_transitions (tuned xfade presets) and
such_graphics.video_qa (decode-level "did this render black" gate) from
~/src/such-graphics when that repo is checked out, and falls back to a local
subset when it is not — this repo is public and must build without it. Point
SUCH_GRAPHICS_HOME elsewhere if needed.
The music-bed handling (random offset per render, so repeat uploads of the same
variant don't feel identical) is lifted from
~/src/medusa-multi-tenant-platform/tools/marketing-video/build.mjs.
