Matthew Raymer a2e4517518 feat(ios): complete iOS test apps setup with plugin integration
Added iOS platform to Vue 3 test app and created standalone iOS test app:

Vue 3 Test App (daily-notification-test):
- Added iOS platform via 'npx cap add ios'
- Created ios/ directory with Xcode project structure
- Added DailyNotificationPlugin to Podfile
- Generated App.xcodeproj and App.xcworkspace

Standalone iOS Test App (ios-test-app):
- Created App structure with Capacitor configuration
- Added DailyNotificationPlugin to Podfile
- Created capacitor.config.json with plugin settings
- Copied test HTML interface (575 lines) from Android test app
- Set up public/ directory for web assets

Plugin Integration:
- Both Podfiles configured with plugin path: '../../../ios'
- Plugin dependencies ready for 'pod install'
- Configuration files created and verified

Documentation:
- Created IOS_TEST_APPS_SETUP_COMPLETE.md with setup details
- Documented next steps for CocoaPods and Xcode building

All command-line setup complete. Ready for:
- pod install (requires CocoaPods)
- Xcode building and testing

Configuration Details

Vue 3 Test App Podfile

pod 'DailyNotificationPlugin', :path => '../../../ios'

Location: test-apps/daily-notification-test/ios/App/Podfile

Standalone Test App Podfile

pod 'DailyNotificationPlugin', :path => '../../../ios'

Location: test-apps/ios-test-app/App/Podfile

{
  "appId": "com.timesafari.dailynotification",
  "appName": "DailyNotification Test App",
  "webDir": "public",
  "plugins": {
    "DailyNotification": {
      "debugMode": true,
      "enableNotifications": true
    }
  }
}

Location: test-apps/ios-test-app/App/capacitor.config.json

Next Steps (Manual)

For Vue 3 Test App

  1. Install CocoaPods dependencies:

    cd test-apps/daily-notification-test/ios/App
    pod install
    
  2. Build web assets:

    cd test-apps/daily-notification-test
    npm install  # If not already done
    npm run build
    
  3. Sync with iOS:

    npx cap sync ios
    
  4. Build and run:

    npx cap run ios
    # Or use build script:
    ./scripts/build-and-deploy-ios.sh
    

For Standalone iOS Test App

  1. Install CocoaPods dependencies:

    cd test-apps/ios-test-app/App
    pod install
    
  2. Open in Xcode:

    open App.xcworkspace
    
  3. Build and run:

    • Select target device/simulator
    • Build and run (⌘R)
  4. Or use build script:

    cd test-apps/ios-test-app
    ./scripts/build-and-deploy.sh
    

Verification Checklist

Vue 3 Test App

  • iOS platform added via npx cap add ios
  • Podfile created with plugin dependency
  • Plugin path correctly configured
  • CocoaPods dependencies installed (pod install)
  • Web assets built (npm run build)
  • Capacitor sync completed (npx cap sync ios)
  • App builds successfully in Xcode

Standalone iOS Test App

  • Structure created from ios/App
  • Capacitor config created
  • Podfile created with plugin dependency
  • Test HTML interface copied
  • CocoaPods dependencies installed (pod install)

Troubleshooting

CocoaPods Not Found

gem install cocoapods

Plugin Not Found During pod install

  1. Verify plugin is built:

    ./scripts/build-native.sh --platform ios
    
  2. Check plugin path in Podfile is correct

  3. Verify ios/DailyNotificationPlugin.podspec exists

Build Errors

  1. Clean build folder in Xcode (⌘⇧K)
  2. Delete derived data: rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
  3. Reinstall pods: pod deintegrate && pod install
