Move off CocoaPods (sunsetting; trunk goes read-only Dec 2026) to SPM, the Cap 8
default. This also ends the LiveKit git-pin hack — LiveKit becomes a real SPM dep.
- Each local plugin gets a Package.swift (swift-tools 5.9, iOS 15, capacitor-swift-pm
from 8.0.0, source path ios/Sources/<Plugin>). native-call additionally declares
LiveKit: .package(client-sdk-swift, exact 2.15.3) + product "LiveKit".
- native-call Swift: import LiveKitClient -> import LiveKit (SPM product name).
- codemagic.yaml: `cap add ios --packagemanager SPM`; removed the "Install CocoaPods"
(pod install) step; XCODE_WORKSPACE -> XCODE_PROJECT (App.xcodeproj); build-ipa
--workspace -> --project. Xcode resolves the Swift packages during archive.
- ios-patch.sh: removed the Podfile LiveKit git-pin injection + Podfile.lock deletion
(no Podfile under SPM). Info.plist/entitlements/AppDelegate/notif.wav patches stay.
- add-share-extension.rb is SPM-safe (operates on App.xcodeproj, no workspace/Pods refs).
Authored blind (no local Xcode) — expect build iterations on the first SPM build
(cap-add SPM layout, CapApp-SPM plugin wiring, LiveKit SPM resolution, signing).
Fully revertible: git revert -> back to Cap 8 + CocoaPods (working).

Bump to Capacitor 8 while staying on CocoaPods (decouples the major-version bump
from the SPM switch, per the verified plan). Changes:
- mobile/package.json: all @capacitor/* + @capacitor-community/safe-area + cli → ^8.0.0
(safe-area 8.0.1 verified Cap 8 compatible; @capacitor/assets stays 3.x, version-agnostic).
- 4 local plugins: @capacitor/core peer/dev dep → ^8.0.0; podspec ios deployment_target 14→15.
- codemagic.yaml: node 20→22 (Cap 8 requires Node 22+); `cap add ios --packagemanager Cocoapods`
(Cap 8 defaults to SPM — force CocoaPods); fail loudly if no Podfile is generated.
- add-share-extension.rb: fallback deployment target 14→15.
Requirements per the Cap 7→8 guide: Node 22+, Xcode 26+, iOS 15 min. capacitor.config has no
adjustMarginsForEdgeToEdge to remove. LiveKit git-pins + native calling unchanged.

Replaces the wrong approach (stage + try to bounce into the app, which iOS blocks)
with the one Teams/WhatsApp actually use: the picker and the send happen INSIDE the
share extension, so there's no app-open at all. Tap Share → Biz Connect → pick a
chat → it uploads and sends, right there in the sheet.
How the extension can send without the app: it's a separate process that can't see
the web app's HttpOnly cookie, so:
- server: GET /api/share/token mints a bearer token for the logged-in user.
- web: on every launch the app fetches that token and hands it to the extension via
the App Group (ShareInbox.setAuth writes token+base to the shared UserDefaults).
- extension: reads the token and calls the SAME API the native client uses —
GET /api/messages/conversations to list chats, POST /api/messages/upload for each
file, POST /api/messages to send. Native UITableView picker with search.
Robustness: it still stages the files + writes a manifest first, so if there's no
token yet (user never signed in) or the send fails, the file isn't lost — the app
collects it on next open, exactly as before. On success the manifest is cleared so
the app doesn't re-offer it.
Server + web are live now; the token endpoint is harmless until a build ships the
extension. NEEDS A NEW iOS BUILD for the picker itself.

Adds the reverse direction: share FROM Photos/Files/Safari INTO a Biz Connect
conversation. An app can only appear in the iOS share sheet as an app-extension
target, so this is real native work, not a web change.
Pieces:
- mobile/ios-share/ShareViewController.swift: a UI-less Share Extension. It stages
the shared items into the App Group container and opens bizconnect://share. It
deliberately does NOT reimplement the chat picker — that lives in the app, which
already has the chat list, search and upload progress. Appends to the manifest
(never overwrites), so sharing twice before opening the app loses nothing.
- mobile/scripts/add-share-extension.rb: injects the extension target into the
Capacitor-generated Xcode project on every CI build (Codemagic checks out fresh),
using the xcodeproj gem that ships with CocoaPods. Embeds it, sets the bundle id
<app>.share, and MERGES the App Group into the app's entitlements rather than
clobbering them (push's aps-environment must survive). Idempotent.
- mobile/plugins/share-inbox: getPending()/clear() to read that manifest — the App
Group container isn't one of Filesystem's known directories, so it needs a bridge.
- home.html: on bizconnect://share (and every resume, and cold-launch), read the
inbox and show a "Send to…" picker over the chat list; chosen files run the SAME
upload + /api/messages send as an in-app attachment. Reuses convertFileSrc to read
the staged bytes with no base64 marshalling.
- ios-patch.sh registers the bizconnect URL scheme; codemagic.yaml fetches a profile
for the .share bundle id too.
One-time manual gate (CI cannot toggle App capabilities): the App Group
group.com.bizgaze.connect must be created and enabled on both App IDs in the Apple
portal — documented in mobile/IOS_SETUP.md. Without it the two processes can't see
each other's files and sharing silently no-ops; everything else still works.
Validated cross-file: pod-name/jsName/method wiring for all three plugins, App
Group id identical in all 4 files, URL scheme consistent across extension/plist/web,
entitlement-merge preserves push. Needs a new iOS build (new targets + plugins).
