The @capacitor/push-notifications plugin does not add the Push Notifications capability to the CI-generated Xcode project (that's a manual Xcode step), and add-share-extension.rb only merged the App Group into App.entitlements, assuming aps-environment was already there. It never was — so on device PushNotifications. register() failed with 'no valid aps-environment entitlement', no APNs token was obtained, and device_tokens stayed empty (server had nothing to push to). ios-patch.sh now creates App/App.entitlements with aps-environment=production before the share-extension script merges the App Group in. Still requires the App ID to have Push Notifications enabled (so the profile carries the entitlement) and the server APNS_* key set (Step 5) for end-to-end delivery.

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.
