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.

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.
