Test different conditions: Test different conditions and edge cases:
| Scenario / Condition | Test Strategy | Expected Outcome & Plugin Behavior |
|---------------------|---------------|-----------------------------------|
| **Background Refresh Off** | Disable Background App Refresh in iOS Settings, schedule notification, leave device idle | BGTask will not run (iOS suppresses it). Plugin logs warning (notPermitted). Notification appears using live fetch at fire time. No crash or hang. Telemetry records system failure reason. |
| **Low Power Mode On** | Enable Low Power Mode, schedule notification, idle device (battery vs plugged) | iOS may delay or skip BGTask. If skipped: plugin falls back gracefully. If runs later: notification uses cached data if valid. |
| **App Force-Quit** | Schedule notification, kill app (swipe up), keep device idle until notification time | iOS won't run BGTask (app force-quit). No prefetch occurs. Notification fires with fallback fetch. Plugin detects on next launch that prefetch didn't happen. |
| **Device Timezone Change** | Schedule notification for 12:00 UTC, change device timezone before it fires | Notification fires at correct UTC time (not local). Logs show UTC timestamp unchanged. Prefetch runs at UTC-5min regardless of timezone. |
| **DST Transition** | Schedule notification on DST change day (e.g., just after "lost hour") | Prefetch and notification align correctly in UTC. No double-firing or misses. Logs show consistent UTC times. |
| **Multi-Day Scheduling** (Phase 2) | Schedule two daily notifications (today and tomorrow) | Plugin handles multiple schedules. Prefetch today's content today, schedules BGTask for tomorrow. After first day, second day's prefetch still occurs. |
| **Device Reboot** | Schedule notification, reboot device before it fires, launch app | Schedule persists. BGTask reschedules after reboot (or app detects on launch). Startup log shows `hasPendingSchedules=true`. Notification still delivered. |

## Automated Testing Strategies
### Unit Tests (Swift)
Write unit tests for plugin logic that can be tested in isolation:
**Time Calculations:**
- Test prefetchTime calculation: `prefetchTime = notificationTime - leadMinutes`
- Test edge conditions: exactly 60s lead, less than 60s lead (should cap at 60s)
- Test timezone handling: UTC storage vs local display
**TTL Validation:**
- Test cache validity check with simulated clock
- Test just-before-expiry vs just-after-expiry
- Test TTL expiration at notification delivery time
**JSON Mapping:**
- Test API response parsing with sample JSON
- Verify all fields map correctly (id, title, body, ttl, scheduled_for)
- Test error handling for malformed JSON
**Permission Check Flow:**
- Mock UNUserNotificationCenter returning .denied
- Verify plugin returns proper error (`notifications_denied`)
- Verify BGTask is not scheduled when permission denied
**BGTask Scheduling Logic:**
- Abstract scheduling method for dependency injection
- Inject fake BGTaskScheduler to verify correct identifier and earliestBeginDate
- Test one active task rule (cancel existing before scheduling new)
### Integration Tests
**Xcode UI Tests:**
- Launch test app, tap "Schedule Notification"
- Background app (simulate Home button)
- Use debug simulation command to trigger BGTask
- Bring app to foreground and verify UI/logs indicate success
**Log Sequence Validation:**
- Run app in simulator via CLI
- Use simctl or LLDB to trigger events
- Collect logs and analyze with script
- Assert all expected log lines appear in order
**Mocking and Dependency Injection:**
- Network calls: Use URLProtocol to intercept HTTP and return canned responses
- Notification scheduling: Provide dummy UNUserNotificationCenter
- BGTask invocation: Call handler method directly with dummy BGTask object
- Time travel: Use injectable time source (Clock.now) for TTL/multi-day tests
### Coverage of BGTask Expiration
Test expiration handler invocation:
- Set up BGTask that intentionally sleeps 40+ seconds on real device
- Monitor logs for "expirationHandler invoked" message
- Validate cancellation logic works correctly
---
## Validation and Verification Enhancements
### Structured Logging and Automated Log Analysis
**Distinct Log Markers:**
- Continue using prefixes: `[DNP-FETCH]`, `[DNP-SCHEDULER]`, `[DNP-PLUGIN]`, `[DNP-STORAGE]`
- Log concise summary line at end of successful cycle:
- `[DNP-PLUGIN] Prefetch cycle complete (id=XYZ, fetched=true, usedCached=true)`
- This gives one line to grep for overall success
**Log Validation Script:**
Develop `validate-ios-logs.sh` to parse device logs and verify sequence automatically:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# validate-ios-logs.sh - Validates prefetch log sequence
LOG_FILE="${1:-device.log}"
# Expected sequence markers
REGISTRATION="Registering BGTaskScheduler task"
SCHEDULING="BGAppRefreshTask scheduled"
HANDLER="BGTask handler invoked"
FETCH_START="Starting fetch"
FETCH_SUCCESS="Fetch success"
TASK_COMPLETE="Task completed"
NOTIFICATION="Notification delivered"
# Check sequence
if grep -q "$REGISTRATION" "$LOG_FILE" && \
grep -q "$SCHEDULING" "$LOG_FILE" && \
grep -q "$HANDLER" "$LOG_FILE" && \
grep -q "$FETCH_START" "$LOG_FILE" && \
grep -q "$FETCH_SUCCESS" "$LOG_FILE" && \
grep -q "$TASK_COMPLETE" "$LOG_FILE" && \
grep -q "$NOTIFICATION" "$LOG_FILE"; then
echo "✅ Log sequence validated: All steps present"
exit 0
else
echo "❌ Log sequence incomplete: Missing steps"
exit 1
fi
```
**Usage:**
```bash
grep -E "\[DNP-(FETCH|SCHEDULER|PLUGIN)\]" device.log | ./scripts/validate-ios-logs.sh
```
### Enhanced Verification Signals
**Telemetry Counters:**
Monitor telemetry counters for prefetch operations:
- `dnp_prefetch_scheduled_total` - Increment when BGTask successfully scheduled
- `dnp_prefetch_executed_total` - Increment when BGTask handler runs
- `dnp_prefetch_success_total` - Increment on successful fetch
- `dnp_prefetch_failure_total{reason="NETWORK|AUTH|SYSTEM"}` - Increment on failure
- `dnp_prefetch_used_for_notification_total` - Increment when notification uses cached content
**State Integrity Checks:**
**Content Hash Verification:**
- Compute MD5 hash of cached content after fetch
- Log: `[DNP-FETCH] Cached content MD5: abcdef`
- At notification time, verify hash matches: `[DNP-FETCH] Using cached content MD5: abcdef`
- Mismatch indicates content changed or wasn't used properly
**Schedule Hash Verification:**
- Hash scheduling data (notificationTime + lead + scheduleId)
- Print hash when scheduling and when executing
- Confirm BGTask is executing for correct schedule
**Persistence Verification:**
- After notification fires, verify cache state (empty if cleared, present if within TTL)
- Flag any discrepancy in logs
**Persistent Test Artifacts:**
Test app saves summary of each test run to file:
```json
{
"testRun": {
"date": "2025-11-15T10:00:00Z",
"device": "iPhone 15 Pro",

## Technical Correctness Requirements
### BGTask Scheduling & Lifecycle
**Validation Requirements:**
- Verify `earliestBeginDate` is at least 60 seconds in future (iOS requirement)
- Log and handle scheduling errors gracefully (Code=1 on simulator is expected)
- Cancel existing pending task before scheduling new (one active task rule)
- Use `BGTaskScheduler.shared.getPendingTaskRequests()` in debug to verify only one task pending
**Schedule Next Task at Execution:**
- Adopt Apple's best practice: schedule next task IMMEDIATELY at start of BGTask handler
- This ensures continuity even if app is terminated shortly after
- Pattern: Schedule next → Initiate async work → Mark complete → Use expiration handler
**Expiration Handler and Completion:**
- Implement expiration handler to cancel ongoing operations if iOS terminates task (~30 seconds)
- Always call `task.setTaskCompleted(success:)` exactly once
- Use `success: false` if fetch didn't complete (system may reschedule sooner)
- Use `success: true` if all went well
- Re-schedule next task after marking completion (for recurring use cases)
**Error Handling & Retry:**
- Distinguish recoverable errors (transient network) vs permanent failures
- For network failures: log failure reason, set `success: false`, consider cached data if available
- For logic errors: log clear message, call `setTaskCompleted(success: false)`, exit cleanly
- Ensure fallback to on-demand fetch at notification time if prefetch fails
**Data Consistency & Cleanup:**
- Cross-check `notificationTime` matches payload's `scheduled_for` field
- Validate TTL on cached content at notification time (discard if expired)
- Ensure content is saved to persistent store before marking BGTask complete
- Implement cache cleanup for outdated data
- Handle permission changes gracefully (detect failure at delivery, log outcome)
### Scheduling and Notification Coordination
**Unified Scheduling Logic:**
- Atomically schedule both UNNotificationRequest and BGAppRefreshTaskRequest
- If one fails, cancel the other or report partial failure
- Return clear status/error code to JS layer
**BGTask Identifier Constants:**
- Verify identifier in code exactly matches Info.plist (case-sensitive)
- Test harness should verify on app launch (logs show successful registration)
**Concurrency Considerations:**
- Handle potentially overlapping schedules (Phase 2: multiple notifications)
- Use one BGTask to fetch for next upcoming notification only
- Store next notification's schedule ID and time in shared place
- Use locks or dispatch synchronization to avoid race conditions
**OS Limits:**
- Acknowledge force-quit prevents BGTask execution (can't circumvent)
- Tolerate running slightly later than `earliestBeginDate` (iOS heuristics)
- Log actual execution time vs scheduled time for analysis
