Description

Are there any docs on how to build and run the project from source?

The readme links to the contributing doc which doesn't say what to do as far as I can tell and the developer onboarding doc which sounds right but I also don't see the right information there.

Something like "Open x in Android Studio (version x.x.x) ..."

My goal is to run the app in the simulator.
