Matthew Raymer a166f3be9a feat(ios): create iOS test app structure and synchronization documentation
Created standalone iOS test app structure matching android-test-app:
- Added ios-test-app directory with README, setup guide, and build scripts
- Created comprehensive iOS synchronization status documentation
- Documented API method gaps between Android (52) and iOS (9 methods)
- Added iOS setup guide for Vue 3 test app

New files:
- test-apps/ios-test-app/ - Standalone iOS test app structure
- docs/IOS_SYNC_STATUS.md - Detailed API comparison and status tracking
- docs/IOS_SYNC_SUMMARY.md - Summary of iOS synchronization work
- test-apps/daily-notification-test/docs/IOS_SETUP.md - Vue app iOS setup

iOS test environments are now ready for setup. Test apps need Xcode project
generation via Capacitor CLI or copying from ios/App.

Next steps: Generate Xcode projects and implement missing API methods.

# iOS Synchronization Summary
**Author**: Matthew Raymer
**Date**: 2025-11-04
**Status**: ✅ **TEST APP SETUP COMPLETE**
## What Was Done
### 1. iOS Test App Structure Created
Created standalone `ios-test-app` matching `android-test-app` structure:
-`test-apps/ios-test-app/README.md` - Main documentation
-`test-apps/ios-test-app/SETUP.md` - Setup guide with two options
-`test-apps/ios-test-app/scripts/build-and-deploy.sh` - Build script
- ✅ Directory structure prepared
### 2. Documentation Created
-`docs/IOS_SYNC_STATUS.md` - Comprehensive status tracking
-`test-apps/daily-notification-test/docs/IOS_SETUP.md` - Vue test app iOS setup
- ✅ Build scripts and setup guides
### 3. API Comparison Completed
- ✅ Identified all Android methods (52 total)
- ✅ Identified all iOS methods (9 total)
- ✅ Documented missing methods and gaps
- ✅ Created platform comparison table
### 4. Test App Configuration
- ✅ Standalone iOS test app structure ready
- ✅ Vue 3 test app iOS setup documented
- ✅ Build scripts created for both scenarios
## Current State
### iOS Plugin
**Status**: ✅ Compiles successfully
**Methods**: 9 implemented, 43 missing
**Priority**: High - many critical methods missing
### Test Apps
**Standalone iOS Test App** (`ios-test-app`):
- ✅ Structure created
- ✅ Documentation complete
- 🟡 Needs Xcode project generation (use Capacitor CLI or copy from `ios/App`)
**Vue 3 Test App** (`daily-notification-test`):
- ✅ Build script exists
- ✅ Configuration documented
- 🟡 Needs `npx cap add ios` to create iOS module
## Next Steps
### Immediate (Test App Setup)
1. **Standalone iOS Test App**:
```bash
cd test-apps/ios-test-app
# Option 1: Use Capacitor CLI
npx @capacitor/create-app@latest App --template blank
# Option 2: Copy from ios/App
cp -r ../../ios/App App
# Then follow SETUP.md
```
2. **Vue 3 Test App**:
```bash
cd test-apps/daily-notification-test
npx cap add ios
npx cap sync ios
# Then build and test
```
### Short-term (API Implementation)
Priority methods to implement:
1. **Configuration**:
- `configureNativeFetcher()` - Critical for background fetching
- `setActiveDidFromHost()` - TimeSafari integration
2. **Scheduling**:
- `scheduleDailyNotification()` - Main scheduling method
- `getNotificationStatus()` - Status checking
3. **Permissions**:
- `checkPermissionStatus()` - Permission checking
- `requestNotificationPermissions()` - Permission requests
4. **Content Management**:
- `getContentCache()` - Cache access
- `clearContentCache()` - Cache management
### Medium-term (Full Parity)
Implement remaining 40+ methods for full API parity with Android.
## Files Created/Modified
### New Files
1. `test-apps/ios-test-app/README.md`
2. `test-apps/ios-test-app/SETUP.md`
3. `test-apps/ios-test-app/scripts/build-and-deploy.sh`
4. `docs/IOS_SYNC_STATUS.md`
5. `docs/IOS_SYNC_SUMMARY.md` (this file)
6. `test-apps/daily-notification-test/docs/IOS_SETUP.md`
### Modified Files
None (all new documentation)
## Testing Checklist
### Standalone iOS Test App
- [ ] Generate/copy Xcode project
- [ ] Install CocoaPods dependencies
- [ ] Copy test HTML interface
- [ ] Build and run in simulator
- [ ] Test plugin availability
- [ ] Test basic plugin methods
### Vue 3 Test App
- [ ] Run `npx cap add ios`
- [ ] Verify plugin integration
- [ ] Build and run in simulator
- [ ] Test plugin from Vue interface
- [ ] Verify plugin detection
- [ ] Test TimeSafari integration
## Platform Differences Summary
| Feature | Android | iOS |
|---------|---------|-----|
| **Background Tasks** | WorkManager | BGTaskScheduler |
| **Notifications** | AlarmManager + NotificationManager | UNUserNotificationCenter |
| **Permissions** | Runtime permissions | UNUserNotificationCenter authorization |
| **Battery** | Battery optimization | Background App Refresh |
| **Boot Recovery** | BootReceiver | App launch + task registration |

- [iOS Sync Status](IOS_SYNC_STATUS.md) - Detailed status tracking
- [iOS Test App Setup](../test-apps/ios-test-app/SETUP.md) - Setup guide
- [Vue Test App iOS Setup](../test-apps/daily-notification-test/docs/IOS_SETUP.md) - Vue app setup
- [Android Test App](../test-apps/android-test-app/README.md) - Reference implementation
## Success Criteria
✅ **Test App Setup**: Complete
🟡 **API Parity**: In progress (9/52 methods)
🟡 **Testing**: Ready to begin once test apps are generated
## Notes
- iOS test app structure is ready but needs Xcode project generation
- Vue test app needs `npx cap add ios` to create iOS module
- All documentation and build scripts are in place
- API implementation is the next major milestone
