Matthew 3d9254e26d feat(ios): show notifications in foreground and add visual feedback
Implement UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate in AppDelegate to display
notifications when app is in foreground. Add visual feedback indicator
in test app UI to confirm notification delivery.

Changes:
- AppDelegate: Conform to UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate protocol
- AppDelegate: Implement willPresent and didReceive delegate methods
- AppDelegate: Set delegate at multiple lifecycle points to ensure
  it's always active (immediate, after Capacitor init, on app active)
- UI: Add notification received indicator in status card
- UI: Add periodic check for notification delivery (every 5 seconds)
- UI: Add instructions on where to look for notification banner
- Docs: Add IOS_LOGGING_GUIDE.md for debugging iOS logs

This fixes the issue where scheduled notifications were not visible
when the app was in the foreground. The delegate method now properly
presents notifications with banner, sound, and badge options.

Verified working: Logs show delegate method called successfully when
notification fires, with proper presentation options set.

iOS Test App

Status: SETUP COMPLETE
Ready for: Building and testing


Setup Status

Basic structure created
Capacitor iOS platform added
Info.plist configured with BGTask identifiers
AppDelegate configured for background tasks
Podfile configured with plugin reference
⚠️ CocoaPods installation required


Next Steps

1. Install CocoaPods (if not installed)

sudo gem install cocoapods

2. Install Pod Dependencies

cd ios/App
pod install
cd ../..

3. Build and Run

Option A: Using Build Script

# From repo root
./scripts/build-ios-test-app.sh --simulator

Option B: Using Xcode

cd ios/App
open App.xcworkspace
# Then press Cmd+R in Xcode

Plugin Registration

The plugin is registered via:

  • Podfile: pod 'DailyNotificationPlugin', :path => '../../../ios/Plugin'
  • Capacitor Config: capacitor.config.json includes plugin entry
  • AppDelegate: Background tasks registered

Configuration Files

  • Info.plist: Configured with BGTask identifiers and background modes
  • AppDelegate.swift: Background task registration added
  • Podfile: Plugin reference added
  • capacitor.config.json: Plugin enabled

Troubleshooting

CocoaPods Not Installed

Error: command not found: pod

Solution:

sudo gem install cocoapods

Plugin Not Found

Error: Build fails with plugin not found

Solution:

  1. Verify plugin exists at ../../../ios/Plugin/
  2. Run pod install in ios/App/ directory
  3. Clean build folder in Xcode (Cmd+Shift+K)

Build Failures

Solution:

  1. Run pod install in ios/App/ directory
  2. Clean build folder (Cmd+Shift+K)
  3. Verify Capacitor plugin path
