# Next Steps for iOS Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Author**: Matthew Raymer
|
||||
**Date**: 2025-11-04
|
||||
**Status**: 🎯 **READY FOR NEXT PHASE**
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Status Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ Completed
|
||||
|
||||
1. **iOS Plugin Compilation** - All Swift errors resolved, plugin builds successfully
|
||||
2. **Test App Setup** - Both iOS test apps configured with plugin integration
|
||||
3. **Documentation** - Comprehensive guides and status tracking created
|
||||
4. **Build Scripts** - Automated build scripts for both test apps
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ Manual Step Required
|
||||
|
||||
**CocoaPods Installation** - Cannot be automated:
|
||||
- Requires Ruby >= 2.7.0 (system has 2.6.10)
|
||||
- Needs user interaction (sudo password or Homebrew installation)
|
||||
- See `docs/COCOAPODS_INSTALLATION.md` for instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Pending
|
||||
|
||||
**API Method Implementation** - 43 methods missing (9/52 implemented)
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended Next Steps (Priority Order)
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Implement Critical API Methods (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why**: Test apps are ready, but plugin lacks essential methods for basic functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority 1: Core Scheduling Methods** (Most Critical)
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
// These are the most commonly used methods
|
||||
- scheduleDailyNotification() // Main scheduling method
|
||||
- getNotificationStatus() // Status checking
|
||||
- cancelAllNotifications() // Cancellation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority 2: Permission & Status Methods**
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
- checkPermissionStatus() // Permission checking
|
||||
- requestNotificationPermissions() // Permission requests
|
||||
- getBatteryStatus() // Battery info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority 3: Configuration Methods**
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
- configureNativeFetcher() // Native fetcher setup
|
||||
- setActiveDidFromHost() // TimeSafari integration
|
||||
- updateStarredPlans() // Starred plans
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority 4: Content Management**
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
- getContentCache() // Cache access
|
||||
- clearContentCache() // Cache management
|
||||
- getContentHistory() // History access
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated Effort**:
|
||||
- Priority 1: 2-3 hours
|
||||
- Priority 2: 1-2 hours
|
||||
- Priority 3: 2-3 hours
|
||||
- Priority 4: 1-2 hours
|
||||
- **Total**: 6-10 hours for critical methods
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Test Current Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Why**: Verify what we have works before adding more.
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps**:
|
||||
1. Install CocoaPods (manual step)
|
||||
2. Run `pod install` in both test apps
|
||||
3. Build and test in Xcode
|
||||
4. Verify existing 9 methods work correctly
|
||||
5. Document any issues found
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated Effort**: 1-2 hours (after CocoaPods installation)
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Database Access Methods
|
||||
|
||||
**Why**: Many Android methods rely on database access.
|
||||
|
||||
**Methods to implement**:
|
||||
- `getSchedules()` / `createSchedule()` / `updateSchedule()` / `deleteSchedule()`
|
||||
- `getContentCacheById()` / `saveContentCache()`
|
||||
- `getConfig()` / `setConfig()`
|
||||
- `getCallbacks()` / `registerCallbackConfig()`
|
||||
- `getHistory()`
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated Effort**: 4-6 hours
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Critical Methods (Week 1)
|
||||
1. Core scheduling methods (Priority 1)
|
||||
2. Permission & status methods (Priority 2)
|
||||
3. Basic testing with test apps
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Configuration & Integration (Week 2)
|
||||
1. Configuration methods (Priority 3)
|
||||
2. Content management (Priority 4)
|
||||
3. TimeSafari integration methods
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Database & Advanced (Week 3)
|
||||
1. Database access methods
|
||||
2. History and statistics
|
||||
3. Advanced features
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Testing & Polish (Week 4)
|
||||
1. Full test suite
|
||||
2. iOS-specific optimizations
|
||||
3. Documentation updates
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start: Implement First Critical Method
|
||||
|
||||
**Target**: `scheduleDailyNotification()` - Most commonly used method
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps**:
|
||||
1. Review Android implementation in `android/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/DailyNotificationPlugin.kt`
|
||||
2. Create iOS equivalent in `ios/Plugin/DailyNotificationPlugin.swift`
|
||||
3. Use existing iOS scheduling infrastructure (`UNUserNotificationCenter`)
|
||||
4. Test with test apps
|
||||
5. Document iOS-specific behavior
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference Android Method**:
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
@PluginMethod
|
||||
fun scheduleDailyNotification(call: PluginCall) {
|
||||
// Android implementation
|
||||
// Convert to iOS using UNUserNotificationCenter
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Value | Effort | Risk | Recommendation |
|
||||
|--------|-------|--------|------|----------------|
|
||||
| **Implement Critical Methods** | High | Medium | Low | ✅ **Best choice** |
|
||||
| **Test Current Implementation** | Medium | Low | Low | Good for validation |
|
||||
| **Database Methods** | High | High | Medium | Do after critical methods |
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendation
|
||||
|
||||
**Start with Option 1: Implement Critical API Methods**
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
1. Test apps are ready but can't be fully tested without core methods
|
||||
2. Critical methods are needed for any real usage
|
||||
3. Foundation is solid (plugin compiles, structure is good)
|
||||
4. Can test incrementally as methods are added
|
||||
|
||||
**First Method to Implement**: `scheduleDailyNotification()`
|
||||
|
||||
This is the most important method and will:
|
||||
- Enable basic functionality
|
||||
- Provide pattern for other methods
|
||||
- Allow immediate testing
|
||||
- Unblock further development
|
||||
|
||||
## Resources
|
||||
|
||||
- [iOS Sync Status](IOS_SYNC_STATUS.md) - Complete API comparison
|
||||
- [Android Plugin Source](../android/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/DailyNotificationPlugin.kt) - Reference implementation
|
||||
- [iOS Plugin Source](../ios/Plugin/DailyNotificationPlugin.swift) - Current iOS implementation
|
||||
- [TypeScript Definitions](../src/definitions.ts) - API contracts
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Action
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended**: Start implementing `scheduleDailyNotification()` method in iOS plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
This will:
|
||||
1. Provide immediate value
|
||||
2. Establish implementation patterns
|
||||
3. Enable testing
|
||||
4. Unblock further development
