# iOS (Capacitor)
Ship the CRA web build as an iOS app via [Capacitor](https://capacitorjs.com/)
WKWebView. One codebase: `llm-fe/` → web + Android + iOS.
**Build & Xcode steps:** [`ios/README.md`](ios/README.md).
Prerequisites already merged: JWT-only auth (#22), WebSocket lifecycle (#23),
HashRouter (#24), Android Capacitor scaffolding (#20).
## Prerequisites
- **macOS** with **Xcode** 15+ (CI runners are Linux — iOS builds are **manual**
on a Mac until a hosted macOS runner is added)
- **Node.js 20** (matches CI; Capacitor **7.x**)
- **CocoaPods** (`sudo gem install cocoapods` or Homebrew `pod`)
- Apple Developer Program membership for device / TestFlight / App Store signing
(simulator debug runs without a paid membership using automatic signing)
## One-time / day-to-day
```bash
cd llm-fe
npm ci
npm run build:mobile # .env.mobile → CRA build → cap sync (android + ios)
npm run ios:open # opens ios/App/App.xcworkspace in Xcode
```
Or sync only after an existing `build/`:
```bash
npm run ios:sync
```
**Always open the `.xcworkspace`**, not the `.xcodeproj` (CocoaPods).
## Environment
Same as Android — see [`ANDROID.md`](ANDROID.md) § Environment.
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `.env.mobile` | Endpoints baked into the **mobile** bundle (`build:mobile`) |
| `.env.mobile.local` | Optional gitignored override |
Default `.env.mobile` points at production (`chatbackend.aimloperations.com`).
WebView origin is `capacitor://localhost`. Backend CORS/CSRF already trusts it
(`chat_backend` `CAPACITOR_WEBVIEW_ORIGINS`). Auth is header JWT — no cookies.
## Versioning
In Xcode target **App** → General, or `ios/App/App.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj`:
| Field | Xcode / build setting | Align with |
|-------|----------------------|------------|
| Version | `MARKETING_VERSION` (`CFBundleShortVersionString`) | `package.json` `version` + Android `versionName` (currently `0.1.0`) |
| Build | `CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION` (`CFBundleVersion`) | Android `versionCode` (integer; **must increase** every TestFlight / App Store upload) |
## Icons / splash
Source art in `llm-fe/assets/` (same as Android):
- `icon.png` / `splash.png` / `splash-dark.png`
Regenerate iOS + Android densities:
```bash
npm run assets:generate
```
## Signing
**Never commit certificates, profiles, or `.p12` files.**
1. Xcode → Signing & Capabilities → Team (Automatic for debug / internal).
2. Bundle ID: **`ai.hesychia.chat`** (matches Android `applicationId` / Capacitor `appId`).
3. For distribution: App Store Connect app, distribution cert, provisioning profile
— keep credentials outside the repo (password manager / CI secrets later).
## Manual QA checklist
On **simulator and physical iPhone**:
- [ ] Login / logout / password reset
- [ ] Chat streaming + markdown / code blocks (selection + copy)
- [ ] Charts (`recharts`)
- [ ] Dark / light theme
- [ ] Keyboard does not cover compose input; notch / Dynamic Island / home indicator OK
- [ ] No rubber-band overscroll on chat shell
- [ ] Background → resume keeps or reconnects WebSocket (`appStateChange` + visibility)
- [ ] Cellular ↔ WiFi switch reconnects socket
- [ ] Airplane mode → restore reconnects
## TestFlight / App Store (follow-on)
Out of band (not automated here; separate deploy tickets):
1. Apple Developer Program + App ID `ai.hesychia.chat`
2. Privacy policy URL + App Privacy questionnaire
3. In-app account deletion if sign-up is offered (guideline)
4. Enough native shell value that review does not reject as 4.2 “repackaged website”
5. Archive → Upload → TestFlight internal → App Store
Push notifications, offline cache, Sign in with Apple — out of scope for this wrap.
