P2.1 iOS Batch B - Validation + Delegation Methods

Purpose: Second batch of iOS plugin refactoring - methods that validate input then delegate to services
Owner: Development Team
Created: 2025-12-23
Status: ready
Baseline: See docs/progress/00-STATUS.md (v1.0.11-p3-complete)

Goal

Refactor iOS plugin methods that validate input then delegate to services. These methods:

• Extract and validate parameters from CAPPluginCall
• Handle error responses for invalid input
• Delegate validated parameters to service methods
• Map service results/errors to plugin responses

Success Criteria:

• Plugin method validates input, delegates to service
• Service method handles business logic
• External API unchanged
• Tests pass

Target Methods (Batch B)

Permissions (4 methods)

1. checkPermissionStatus()

   • Validate: None (read-only)
   • Delegate: UNUserNotificationCenter.getNotificationSettings() → parse and format
   • Type: validation (parse settings, format response)

2. requestNotificationPermissions()

   • Validate: None (request only)
   • Delegate: UNUserNotificationCenter.requestAuthorization(...)
   • Type: validation (handle async result)

3. getNotificationPermissionStatus()

   • Validate: None (read-only)
   • Delegate: UNUserNotificationCenter.getNotificationSettings() → parse and format
   • Type: validation (parse settings, format response)

4. requestNotificationPermission()

   • Validate: None (request only)
   • Delegate: UNUserNotificationCenter.requestAuthorization(...)
   • Type: validation (handle async result)

Scheduling (5 methods)

5. scheduleContentFetch()

   • Validate: Config object required
   • Delegate: DailyNotificationScheduler.scheduleFetch(...) or DailyNotificationBackgroundTaskManager.scheduleFetch(...)
   • Type: validation (validate config, delegate)

6. scheduleUserNotification()

   • Validate: Config object required
   • Delegate: DailyNotificationScheduler.scheduleUserNotification(...)
   • Type: validation (validate config, delegate)

7. scheduleDailyNotification()

   • Validate: Time format (HH:mm), required parameters
   • Delegate: DailyNotificationScheduler.schedule(...)
   • Type: validation (validate time format, delegate)

8. scheduleDailyReminder()

   • Validate: id, title, body, time required; time format (HH:mm)
   • Delegate: DailyNotificationStorage.storeReminder(...) + schedule notification
   • Type: validation (validate input, delegate)

9. updateDailyReminder()

   • Validate: reminderId required
   • Delegate: DailyNotificationStorage.updateReminder(...)
   • Type: validation (validate input, delegate)

10. cancelDailyReminder()

    • Validate: reminderId required
    • Delegate: DailyNotificationStorage.removeReminder(id)
    • Type: validation (validate input, delegate)

Content & History (1 method)

11. getPendingNotifications()
    • Validate: None (read-only)
    • Delegate: UNUserNotificationCenter.getPendingNotificationRequests() → parse and format
    • Type: validation (parse requests, format response)

Settings & Channels (5 methods)

12. isChannelEnabled()

    • Validate: channelId (optional)
    • Delegate: UNUserNotificationCenter.getNotificationSettings() → check channel
    • Type: validation (parse settings, check channel)

13. openChannelSettings()

    • Validate: channelId (optional)
    • Delegate: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString (with channel fallback)
    • Type: validation (needs app context)

14. openNotificationSettings()

    • Validate: None
    • Delegate: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString
    • Type: validation (needs app context)

15. openBackgroundAppRefreshSettings()

    • Validate: None
    • Delegate: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString
    • Type: validation (needs app context)

16. updateSettings()

    • Validate: Settings object
    • Delegate: DailyNotificationStorage.updateSettings(...) or DailyNotificationStateActor.saveSettings(...)
    • Type: validation (validate input, delegate)

Configuration (1 method)

17. configure()
    • Validate: Optional parameters (dbPath, storage, ttlSeconds, etc.)
    • Delegate: DailyNotificationStorage.configure(...) or reinitialize storage
    • Type: validation (validate input, delegate)

---

Implementation Strategy

1. Read current implementation of each method
2. Extract validation logic to plugin method (parameter extraction, format validation)
3. Identify service method to delegate to (or create if needed)
4. Refactor plugin method to: validate → delegate → map response
5. Test that external API behavior is unchanged
6. Commit in small batches (2-3 methods per commit)

---

Service Methods Needed

Some service methods may need to be created or enhanced:

• DailyNotificationStorage.storeReminder(...) - May need to be created
• DailyNotificationStorage.updateReminder(...) - May need to be created
• DailyNotificationStorage.removeReminder(id) - May need to be created
• DailyNotificationScheduler.scheduleFetch(...) - Check if exists
• DailyNotificationScheduler.scheduleUserNotification(...) - Check if exists

---

Notes

• iOS uses CAPPluginCall for parameter extraction (similar to Android's PluginCall)
• Error handling uses call.reject(message, code) with DailyNotificationErrorCodes
• Async operations use Task { } blocks with await
• Settings methods need UIApplication access (may need activity/view controller)
• Permission methods use UNUserNotificationCenter directly (no service wrapper needed)

---

Estimated Impact

• Methods refactored: 17
• Lines removed: ~400-500 lines (validation logic moved to services where appropriate)
• Complexity reduction: Medium (validation stays in plugin, business logic moves to services)
• Risk: Low-Medium (validation logic changes, but external API unchanged)

---

Next Batch

After Batch B, proceed to Batch C (glue/orchestration methods) for complex methods that combine multiple services.
