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.

The Files folder is the app's own copy — it powers offline playback and Manage
storage — but Files is not where anyone looks for photos and videos. The Photos app
is, and only PhotoKit can write there; @capacitor/filesystem cannot, because an
app sandbox and the photo library are separate stores. So this adds a small native
plugin, mirroring the existing audio-route one.
- mobile/plugins/media-library: saveToAlbum({path, album, kind}) finds or creates
the album and adds the asset. Uses addResource(with:fileURL:), which is uniform
for photo and video and non-optional, unlike creationRequestForAssetFrom*, which
can silently no-op.
- Requests .readWrite, NOT .addOnly: addOnly can add an asset but cannot look up or
create an ALBUM, which is the whole point here. Both photo-library usage strings
are already set by ios-patch.sh.
- If the album can't be resolved (e.g. "limited" access), the asset is still saved
to the camera roll — landing somewhere beats failing outright. A racing create
from two simultaneous downloads re-looks-up instead of erroring.
- Podspec named MediaLibrary.podspec with s.name = 'MediaLibrary' to match
PascalCase of the package name — the same trap that broke the AudioRoute build.
Checked by a script: pod name, jsName and declared-vs-implemented methods.
Entirely best-effort from the web side: a denied permission or an older app build
never fails a download that is already safe in the app folder. Added a Settings
toggle since this does keep a second copy of the file.
Needs a new iOS build — new native plugin.
