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). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
