Add comprehensive documentation explaining the order of precedence for
environment variables in TimeSafari project. Covers shell script overrides,
platform-specific configurations, .env file usage, and API alignment between
claim and partner APIs. Includes troubleshooting guide and best practices
for maintaining consistent environment configuration across development,
test, and production environments.
Extend custom API IP feature to iOS platform with platform-appropriate defaults:
- Android: Defaults to 10.0.2.2 for emulator, custom IP for physical devices
- iOS: Uses localhost for simulator, custom IP for physical devices
- Added npm scripts for iOS custom IP builds (dev:custom, test:custom)
- Updated documentation to cover both platforms with examples
- Consistent --api-ip parameter across Android and iOS build scripts
Usage:
./scripts/build-ios.sh --dev # Default localhost
./scripts/build-ios.sh --dev --api-ip 192.168.1.100 # Custom IP
Implement --api-ip parameter for Android builds with smart defaults:
- Defaults to 10.0.2.2 for emulator development when no IP specified
- Supports custom IP for physical device development
- Added npm scripts for common use cases (dev:custom, test:custom)
- Updated help documentation with usage examples
- Created comprehensive documentation with troubleshooting guide
Usage:
./scripts/build-android.sh --dev # Default 10.0.2.2
./scripts/build-android.sh --dev --api-ip 192.168.1.100 # Custom IP
- Remove hard-coded PROD_SHARE_DOMAIN from src/constants/app.ts
- Update all sharing functionality to use environment-specific APP_SERVER
- Rewrite domain configuration documentation to reflect unified approach
- Simplify domain management with single APP_SERVER constant

This change eliminates the complexity of separate constants for different
URL types and provides consistent environment-specific configuration for
all functionality including sharing.
Replace complex updateEntityTypes() method with explicit giverEntityType and
recipientEntityType props. This makes the component more declarative and
maintainable by removing hidden logic and making entity type relationships
clear at the call site.

- ContactGiftingView.vue: Improved context preservation
- HomeView.vue, ProjectViewView.vue, ClaimView.vue, ContactsView.vue:
Updated to use explicit entity type props
- Add refactoring documentation
- Add _convertSettingsForStorage helper method to handle Settings → SettingsWithJsonStrings conversion
- Fix $saveSettings and $saveUserSettings to properly convert searchBoxes arrays to JSON strings before database storage
- Update SearchAreaView.vue to use array format instead of manual JSON.stringify conversion
- Add comprehensive test UI in PlatformServiceMixinTest.vue with visual feedback and clear demonstration of conversion process
- Document migration strategy for consolidating $updateSettings into $saveSettings to reduce code duplication
- Add deprecation notices to $updateSettings method with clear migration guidance
The fix ensures that searchBoxes arrays are properly converted to JSON strings before database storage, preventing data corruption and maintaining consistency with the SettingsWithJsonStrings type definition. The enhanced test interface provides clear visualization of the conversion process and database storage format.
Migration Strategy:
- $saveSettings: ✅ KEEP (will be primary method after consolidation)
- $updateSettings: ⚠️ DEPRECATED (will be removed in favor of $saveSettings)
- Future: Consolidate to single $saveSettings(changes, did?) method
Files changed:
- src/utils/PlatformServiceMixin.ts: Add conversion helper, fix save methods, add deprecation notices
- src/views/SearchAreaView.vue: Remove manual JSON conversion
- src/test/PlatformServiceMixinTest.vue: Add comprehensive test UI with highlighting
