Implement iOS Share Extension to enable native image sharing from Photos
and other apps directly into TimeSafari. Users can now share images from
the iOS share sheet, which will open in SharedPhotoView for use as gifts
or profile pictures.
iOS Native Implementation:
- Add TimeSafariShareExtension target with ShareViewController
- Configure App Groups for data sharing between extension and main app
- Implement ShareViewController to process shared images and convert to base64
- Store shared image data in App Group UserDefaults
- Add ShareImageBridge utility to read shared data from App Group
- Update AppDelegate to handle shared-photo deep link and bridge data to JS
JavaScript Integration:
- Add checkAndStoreNativeSharedImage() in main.capacitor.ts to read shared
images from native layer via temporary file bridge
- Convert base64 data to data URL format for compatibility with base64ToBlob
- Integrate with existing SharedPhotoView component
- Add "shared-photo" to deep link validation schema
Build System:
- Integrate Xcode 26 / CocoaPods compatibility workaround into build-ios.sh
- Add run_pod_install_with_workaround() for explicit pod install
- Add run_cap_sync_with_workaround() for Capacitor sync (which runs pod
install internally)
- Automatically detect project format version 70 and apply workaround
- Remove standalone pod-install-workaround.sh script
Code Cleanup:
- Remove verbose debug logs from ShareViewController, AppDelegate, and
main.capacitor.ts
- Retain essential logger calls for production debugging
Documentation:
- Add ios-share-extension-setup.md with manual Xcode setup instructions
- Add ios-share-extension-git-commit-guide.md for version control best practices
- Add ios-share-implementation-status.md tracking implementation progress
- Add native-share-target-implementation.md with overall architecture
- Add xcode-26-cocoapods-workaround.md documenting the compatibility issue
The implementation uses a temporary file bridge (AppDelegate writes to Documents
directory, JS reads via Capacitor Filesystem plugin) as a workaround for
Capacitor plugin auto-discovery issues. This can be improved in the future by
properly registering ShareImagePlugin in Capacitor's plugin registry.
Resolves "No Scheme" issue in Xcode by adding a shared scheme file.
Capacitor doesn't automatically create shared schemes, so this needs
to be manually added and committed to version control.
- Add @capacitor/status-bar dependency for safe area detection
- Implement SafeAreaPlugin for Android with proper inset calculation
- Create safeAreaInset.js utility for CSS custom property injection
- Update Android manifest and build configuration for plugin
- Integrate safe area handling across Vue components and views
- Update iOS Podfile and Android gradle configurations
- Add commitlint and husky for commit message validation
Technical changes:
- SafeAreaPlugin uses WindowInsets API for Android R+ devices
- Fallback detection for navigation bar and gesture bar heights
- CSS custom properties: --safe-area-inset-{top,bottom,left,right}
- Platform-specific detection (Android WebView only)
- StatusBar plugin integration for top inset calculation
- Update BUILDING.md with current build system information
- Modernize various README files across the project
- Update CHANGELOG.md with recent changes
- Improve documentation consistency and formatting
- Update platform-specific documentation (iOS, Electron, Docker)
- Enhance test documentation and build guides
Android build was failing due to missing drawable and mipmap directories
for splash screens and launcher icons. iOS was missing complete asset
catalog structure for app icons and splash screens.
- Create missing Android resource directories (drawable, mipmap-*)
- Add splash screen files to Android drawable directory
- Generate complete set of Android launcher icons
- Create iOS asset catalog structure with proper Contents.json files
- Generate 21 iOS assets (app icons + splash screens) using ImageMagick
- Add resource validation scripts for both platforms
- Enhance Android resource check to auto-create missing directories
NOTE: you need to test this from a fresh clone and after an npm install!
Android build now completes successfully. iOS assets ready for macOS/Xcode
builds. Both platforms have complete resource sets for development.
