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.

Biz Connect — Mobile app (Capacitor)
A Capacitor shell that loads the live Connect web UI (server.url in
capacitor.config.json) and adds native push, camera/mic, and store distribution. See the
overall plan in ../CLIENTS.md.
Android: follow the step-by-step in ANDROID_SETUP.md (project generation, icons/splash, permissions, Firebase/FCM, run, and Play Store build).
Prerequisites
- Node +
npm installhere. - Android: Android Studio + SDK.
- iOS: macOS + Xcode (+ an Apple Developer account to run on device / ship).
Setup
npm install
npm run assets # generate app icons + splash from resources/
npx cap add android
npx cap add ios # macOS only
npx cap sync
Run / build
npx cap open android # build & run from Android Studio
npx cap open ios # build & run from Xcode
Server origin
The app loads server.url from capacitor.config.json (default
https://remote.bizgaze.com). For a local device test against a dev server, set it to your
machine's LAN URL (and allow cleartext for plain http).
Native push (next step)
Native push uses the Capacitor Push Notifications plugin (FCM on Android, APNs on iOS) and a server endpoint to register device tokens — tracked in ../CLIENTS.md Phase B. This is separate from the existing Web Push (VAPID) the PWA already uses. Needs Google/Apple credentials to test end-to-end.
Shipping (gated on accounts)
- Google Play: one-time $25; upload an AAB; signing key.
- App Store: Apple Developer $99/yr; archive via Xcode; App Store Connect listing.
