- Implement app.requestSingleInstanceLock() to prevent multiple instances
- Add user-friendly dialog when second instance is attempted
- Focus and restore existing window instead of creating new instance
- Prevent database corruption and resource conflicts
- Update documentation with single-instance behavior details
Replace chained npm commands with single build-electron.sh script supporting
multiple build modes (dev/test/prod), platforms (windows/mac/linux), and
package types (appimage/deb/dmg). Add platform validation to prevent
cross-platform build issues and integrate cleaning functionality.
- Replace 15+ chained npm scripts with single modular build script
- Add platform detection and validation with early failure on mismatch
- Support environment-specific builds (development/test/production)
- Add comprehensive documentation in docs/electron-build-patterns.md
- Update BUILDING.md with new build patterns and examples
- Remove legacy electron:build:* scripts and consolidate under build:electron:*
- Add clean:electron script integrated into build process
- Improve error handling and user feedback throughout build process
This refactoring follows DRY principles, eliminates command chaining,
and provides a more maintainable and user-friendly build system.
- Removed extra blank lines at end of file to resolve MD012 (no-multiple-blanks)
- Standardized heading spacing to resolve MD019 (no-multiple-space-atx)
- Stripped trailing whitespace and ensured file ends with a single newline
All changes maintain content integrity and bring the file into full markdownlint compliance.
* Create scripts/build-ios.sh with comprehensive build automation
* Handle pkgx Ruby/Gem environment configuration issues
* Support command-line version and build number updates
* Add environment validation for macOS and Xcode requirements
* Update BUILDING.md with automated build script documentation
- Add electron platform section to capacitor.config.json
- Configure deep linking with timesafari:// scheme
- Set up build options for macOS, Windows, and Linux
- Configure output directory and file inclusion
- Add platform-specific build targets (DMG, NSIS, AppImage)
- Support both x64 and arm64 architectures for macOS
