Régis Behmo 1e2166dacf Fix android app build/auth
We had to backtrack from the latest release of the
android app, which is not compatible with the mobile api v0.5 available
in Hawthorn. This should change in ironwood.

Also, we included the correct oauth client ID in the app, which
prevented communication with the LMS.

The android app is now out of beta \o/

Optional features
=================
Some optional features may be activated or deactivated during the interactive configuration step. These features change configuration files (during the ``configure`` step) as well as make targets.
SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS access
-------------------------------------
By activating this feature, a free SSL/TLS certificate from the `Let's Encrypt <https://letsencrypt.org/>`_ certificate authority will be created for your platform. With this feature, **your platform will no longer be accessible in HTTP**. Calls to http urls will be redirected to https url.
The following DNS records must exist and point to your server::
LMS_HOST (e.g: myopenedx.com)
preview.LMS_HOST (e.g: preview.myopenedx.com)
CMS_HOST (e.g: studio.myopenedx.com)
Thus, **this feature will (probably) not work in development** because the DNS records will (probably) not point to your development machine.
To create the certificate manually, run::
tutor local https create
To renew the certificate, run this command once per month::
tutor local https renew
Student notes
-------------
With `notes <https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-building-and-running-a-course/en/open-release-hawthorn.master/exercises_tools/notes.html?highlight=notes>`_, students can annotate portions of the courseware.

:alt: Notes in action
You should beware that the ``notes.<LMS_HOST>`` domain name should be activated and point to your server. For instance, if your LMS is hosted at http://myopenedx.com, the notes service should be found at http://notes.myopenedx.com.
Xqueue
------
`Xqueue <https://github.com/edx/xqueue>`_ is for grading problems with external services. If you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it.
