A Share Extension opening its host app is unsupported on modern iOS (restricted ~iOS 14), so the programmatic bizconnect://share open is silently blocked and the user just saw a blank flash back to Photos — looking broken even though the files staged fine. The extension now shows a small native card after staging: "✓ Ready to send — Open Biz Connect to choose a chat", with an "Open Biz Connect" button (user-initiated open has the best chance of working) and a Done button. It still attempts the auto-open first. Either way the app collects the staged files when next opened, so the manual path that already works is unchanged — this just removes the "did it even work?" confusion. Renamed the local `staged` array to `collected` to free `staged` for the state flag. Balance + selectors checked. NEEDS A NEW iOS BUILD (native change).

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.
