The iOS app is a Capacitor shell over the live web UI — the web/server side is already fully Capacitor-ready (nativePlatform() detects Capacitor; setupNativePush registers APNs tokens via /api/v1/devices; the APNs sender is built into server/push.js, config-gated). So this adds only the build/sign/upload path: - codemagic.yaml: macOS-cloud workflow that generates the iOS project, patches Info.plist, generates icons/splash, signs via an App Store Connect API key (automatic signing), archives, and uploads to TestFlight. No Mac required. - mobile/scripts/ios-patch.sh: adds the App-Review privacy usage strings (camera/mic/photos) + display name to the generated Info.plist. - mobile/IOS_SETUP.md: click-by-click runbook — ASC app record, API key, Codemagic integration, first build, APNs key → server .env, and the public-submission checklist. Bundle id com.bizgaze.connect. No secrets committed — Apple keys live in Codemagic + server .env. 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.
