ability to send encrypted attachments

[tomholub]

part of #275

[tomholub]

@ekievsky this is the next pending item - adding attachments to message, then encrypting them when sending.

After you encrypt the file, add .pgp at the end of the the original filename, then include it in the MIME email you send.

UX questions:

• there is Add Attachment button, should we show Picker to select the source of adding attachment(Library, Camera Roll, Files)?
• after user added attachment to composing email, should we allow him/her to open it?
• just to double check, should we allow to add multiple attachments and allow user to delete attached file?
• is UI up to me or we have some design mocks?

Core questions;

• let's say I'm encrypting data.txt file, so the encrypted name will be data.txt.pgp?
• I will double check MIME logic with Anton

yes

after user added attachment to composing email, should we allow him/her to open it?

We could leave that for another issue a long time later

just to double check, should we allow to add multiple attachments and allow user to delete attached file?

Allow multiple attachments - yes. Remove attachments - sure, but maybe again in another issue?

is UI up to me or we have some design mocks?

Can you try the Android app? It should be reasonably similar.

let's say I'm encrypting data.txt file, so the encrypted name will be data.txt.pgp?

Correct

I am using Android emulator and play market can't find our app on Android :( Is there a way you may share the screenshots?

[tomholub]

It's here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flowcrypt.email&hl=en_US&gl=US

But maybe you could try running it in simulator from our git repo? It should just be a matter of pressing the play button in Android Studio. https://github.com/FlowCrypt/flowcrypt-android and if not, ask here and @DenBond7 will help you.

Were you able to run the Android app in emulator?

Here's a screenshot - example.

[ekievsky]

yep, I've set up Android, there is a PR draft that implements this UI, working on sending attachment right now

[tomholub]

Great - ability to run the Android app will help you when working on other functionality, too.
