Remove obsolete Vite configuration files that are no longer used by the build system
and update BUILDING.md to accurately reflect the current configuration structure.
**Removed Files:**
- vite.config.ts (47 lines) - Legacy configuration file
- vite.config.mts (70 lines) - Unused "main" configuration file
**Updated Documentation:**
- BUILDING.md - Corrected Vite configuration section to show actual usage
**Current Configuration Structure:**
- vite.config.web.mts - Used by build-web.sh
- vite.config.electron.mts - Used by build-electron.sh
- vite.config.capacitor.mts - Used by npm run build:capacitor
- vite.config.common.mts - Shared configuration utilities
- vite.config.utils.mts - Configuration utility functions
**Benefits:**
- Eliminates confusion about which config files to use
- Removes 117 lines of unused configuration code
- Documentation now matches actual build system usage
- Cleaner, more maintainable configuration structure
**Impact:**
- No functional changes to build process
- All platform builds continue to work correctly
- Reduced configuration complexity and maintenance overhead
- Add Appendix A: Build Scripts Reference with detailed documentation for all build scripts
- Add Appendix B: Vite Configuration Files Reference covering all Vite configs
- Add Appendix C: Build Script Integration explaining how components work together
- Document usage examples, exit codes, environment variables, and platform-specific considerations
- Provide complete reference for developers working with the multi-platform build system
- Expand BUILDING.md with detailed platform-specific build commands and workflows
- Add comprehensive web build script documentation with environment modes and Docker support
- Include complete iOS/Android build command reference with auto-run capabilities
- Document Electron build patterns with code signing and packaging instructions
- Add troubleshooting sections for common build issues across platforms
- Streamline README.md by removing redundant build system details
- Include build architecture overview with service worker and environment configuration
- Add comprehensive npm script reference for all build operations
- Document auto-run system and platform-specific testing workflows
- Include security considerations and code signing procedures for distribution
Improves developer experience with complete build system documentation and reduces onboarding friction for new contributors.
- 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
- Set appropriate app categories for each platform
This enables building TimeSafari as a native desktop application
using Capacitor's Electron platform while maintaining existing
mobile and web functionality.
