The approval modal never appeared for a macOS sender: the receiver request
reached the core and even fired its notification, but the modal stayed hidden.
Root cause was observation, not presentation. `RootView` derived `approvals`
and `messages` as `@ObservedObject` in `init` from a freshly built `AppGraph`.
`init` runs on every view re-creation and each run makes a throwaway graph, so
those observed objects were repointed to a dead `ApprovalCoordinator` that never
receives core events — while the persisted `@StateObject graph` (and the models
wired to it) kept the live one. Debug happened not to re-init the view, so it
stayed on the live instance; release re-inits it, exposing the bug.
Move the snackbar + approval modal into an `OverlayLayer` child view that takes
the coordinator/messages as `@ObservedObject` and is constructed in `body` from
the persisted `graph`, so the subscription is always against the live instances.
While here:
- Present the approval only after any open share/QR sheet has actually finished
dismissing (macOS can't stack sheets), driven off the sheet's real
`onDismiss` completion via a new `AdaptiveDrawer.onDismissed` hook and
`SendModel.shareSheetsDismissed` — no wall-clock delay.
- Move the list-level share-sheet state (`shareTargetId`) into `SendModel` so the
approval flow can dismiss every share surface centrally.
- Add a fallback: pending receiver rows in the Receivers panel now offer an
Approve action (`SendModel.acceptReceiver`) alongside Refuse, for the case the
modal didn't surface.
Replace the free-form InvitationError.message(String) case with semantic
cases mapped to L10n keys at the UI boundary (Error.uiText), so user-facing
error text is localized instead of substring-matched from English blobs.
.raw(String) remains only for genuinely dynamic system/core messages.
Localize the CoreNFC alertMessage prompts via existing L10n keys, and add
SwiftLint rules (raw_alert_message, raw_invitation_error) to catch raw
alert strings and literal .raw("…") errors going forward.
Approval modal: since the Share/QR sheet auto-opens after creating a transfer,
it is always up when a receiver request arrives, and macOS silently drops a sheet
presented while another is still dismissing — so the approval sheet never appeared.
Drive the approval sheet from explicit state (not a constant binding) and, on
macOS, defer its presentation one dismiss-beat after closing the Share/QR sheet so
the hand-off is serialized. Still a non-dismissable sheet; iOS timing unchanged.
Sandboxed file sharing: the macOS picker released its security scope immediately,
so the core's later import failed with EPERM under the App Store sandbox (the
non-sandboxed .dmg was unaffected). Capture a security-scoped bookmark at pick
time and re-acquire access across shareFiles() — during which the core imports the
bytes — mirroring the receive-folder scoped-access pattern.
Add a second macOS shipping channel alongside the App Store build:
- New VniDropDirect target (Release-Direct config) sharing VniDrop's sources via
an AppBase target template; links Sparkle behind the DIRECT_DISTRIBUTION flag so
the App Store binary never bundles a self-updater. arm64-only (core is arm64).
- Sparkle updater (SparkleUpdater.swift) + "Check for Updates" menu, compiled only
under DIRECT_DISTRIBUTION; Info.plist SUFeedURL points at the GitHub Release
/latest/download/appcast.xml, non-sandboxed entitlements for Developer ID.
- build-dmg.sh (archive → Developer ID export → DMG → sign → notarize → staple),
generate-appcast.sh, and ExportOptions-DeveloperID.plist.
- apple-release.yml: on tag v*.*.*, build/notarize the DMG, publish the GitHub
Release with appcast, and push the Homebrew cask to sudosylabs/homebrew-vnidrop.
apple.yml gains a PR compile-check of the direct target.
- CFBundleVersion is stamped at build time as a UTC YYMMDD.HHMM timestamp for both
channels, replacing the hand-maintained build number.
- Docs (RELEASE-MACOS.md, README), cask template + tap README, localized
updates_check string, Makefile targets, gitignore for dist/ artifacts.
App Store upload with the iOS 26 SDK rejects the NDEF value (error 90778
"NDEF is disallowed") and requires TAG. NFCNDEFReaderSession keeps working
under the TAG entitlement, so no code changes are needed.
Set CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION to 7 for the next TestFlight upload, and pin the
scheme's Archive/Profile actions to the Release configuration so Product →
Archive can't pick up Debug.
iOS suspends the process on backgrounding, freezing the core's network
threads so in-flight transfers stall and never fire notifications. Hold a
UIApplication background-task assertion (BackgroundActivityController) while
transfers/shares are active so iOS grants its grace window — long enough to
finish and notify. Released on foreground, on completion, or on expiration.
No UIBackgroundModes added (keeps App Store validation clean); macOS is a
no-op since it already runs unfocused.
Add a localized iOS-only Settings notice explaining the platform limit so it
doesn't read as a bug.
- Info.plist: drop unused `fetch`/`processing` background modes (no
BGTaskScheduler implementation exists, which they would require); keep
remote-notification.
- Info.plist: set ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption=false — the app's standard
end-to-end encryption qualifies for the mass-market export exemption, so no
compliance code is required.
- project.yml: emit dwarf-with-dsym for Release so archive symbol upload works.
The remaining upload errors (NFC "NDEF is disallowed", Unsupported SDK) are
artifacts of building with a beta Xcode/SDK 27 and clear when archiving with a
release/RC Xcode; NFCNDEFReaderSession legitimately requires the NDEF format
entitlement, so it is kept as-is.
Replace the legacy AppIcon.appiconset with an Icon Composer AppIcon.icon
bundle in the target's resources. ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME already
points at "AppIcon"; the .icon back-deploys to the iOS 18.2 target.
Add ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption=YES to Info.plist so the export-compliance
question is answered once (the app uses standard end-to-end encryption via
iroh). Avoids being re-prompted on every TestFlight/App Store upload.
The typed-resource rules missed a bare string literal passed as the leading arg of
a view initializer (e.g. Label("send_stop_sharing", …)), which is an implicit
LocalizedStringKey. Add a rule covering Text/Label/Button/Section/Picker/etc.
(empty labels allowed). Fixes the two dynamic-content Text sites it surfaced by
switching them to Text(verbatim:).
plannedReceiverNotifications only fired for completed receivers, so a failed
delivery produced no notification. Add a receiverFailed kind wired through the
planner, id, and deliver paths, with localized notifications_receiver_failed_*
strings and a unit test.
The receiver row showed the core's raw reason code (e.g. destination_exists),
breaking the never-expose-raw-reason-blobs rule. Map the core reason codes to the
existing L10n.Error.* messages via receiverReasonUiText, with a generic fallback so
a raw code is never surfaced.
Add a focused .swiftlint.yml (custom rules only, no default style noise) flagging
raw String(localized:) / LocalizedStringKey / systemName|systemImage literals, and
wire it as a required pre-build phase that fails the build if SwiftLint is missing
(brew install swiftlint). The phase prepends the Homebrew bin dirs since Xcode runs
scripts with a minimal PATH. Runs clean on the current tree (0 violations).
Add a UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate didReceive handler so tapping a notification
is handled inside the running app — activating and bringing the existing window
forward — instead of falling through to default launch behavior, which on macOS
can surface a second process. The approval/transfer UI is driven by core state, so
activating the window reveals any pending approval.
Convert master's raw-string localization keys and SF Symbols in the new
relay/network code to typed accessors, matching this branch's typed-resources
convention: relay mode labels/descriptions, NetworkSettings strings, the endpoint
id and relay-validation messages (now typed L10n functions), and SF Symbols via
SFSafeSymbols. Retype the model's relayApplyErrorKey from a raw String key to
String.LocalizationValue so no loose key literals remain in the settings layer.
Move the relay-mode picker's Network title into a Section header (the inline
picker label rendered as a stray row on iOS) and hide the picker label. Use a
verbatim prompt for the relay URL placeholder so macOS stops markdown-linkifying
the URL-shaped text into a purple link.
Brings in custom relays, relay connection policies, storage cache clearing, and
receiver-failure reporting. Apple-side conflict resolutions:
- CoreRepository: keep CoreDispatcher, adopt master's relay factory + network
transition guard, drop the now-unused serial queue.
- TransferDetailsView: keep the toolbar-share layout; adopt master's
invitationPresentation-based QR panel and the new .failed receiver case (typed).
- SettingsModel/SettingsScreen: typed L10n titleKey with master's .network case;
relay controls and the Free up space / storage redesign coexist.
- Add the missing transfer_receiver_failed localization key.
- Regenerate l10n from the merged strings.json; keep the Apple catalog untracked.
- Drop the notificationsEnabled test assertion (notifications preference was
intentionally removed on this branch).
progressForReceiver only labelled a receiver Completed when no progress/started
events preceded the completion, so the normal progress→completed sequence fell
through and rendered as Sending despite a .completed kind. Events are newest-first,
so a completed latest event is always terminal — label it Completed. Fixes the
failing ProgressDerivationTests.testReceiverCompletionAfterProgressIsTerminal.
Replace the bare text links under Start sharing with an even row of bordered,
icon-led buttons (Change files, Choose folder, plus Clear on wider layouts).
Single-line labels keep them equal height, and a neutral tint keeps them quiet so
the purple Start sharing reads as the primary action.
Send rows get a context menu that acts inline without navigating: Share opens the
share panel (QR + delivery) over the list via a dedicated sheet host, Stop sharing
(active shares) and Delete transfer run in place, the latter through a new id-based
SendModel.deleteTransfer and a list-level confirmation alert. Receive rows get a
Delete action mirroring swipe-to-delete (handy on macOS).
Put a share icon in the transfer-details toolbar (opening the QR/share panel) in
place of the delete button, drop the now-redundant Share row from the list, and
move Delete transfer into the bottom section alongside Stop sharing.
The core initializes asynchronously at launch, so for a moment the transfer lists
look empty and the app feels stalled. Show a full-window overlay (centered spinner
+ "Starting…") as the top layer of the root stack while coreState.isInitialized is
false; it fades out once the core is ready.
After Start sharing succeeds, jump straight to the new transfer's share panel
(QR code + delivery actions) instead of returning to the list and making the user
drill in via the row and the share row. Refresh first so the transfer exists in
state before selecting it; the share panel already handles the brief window before
the ticket is ready.
Redesign the Storage screen for clarity: an "On this device" usage header with a
manual Refresh control, symbol-led action buttons, and a caption under each action
spelling out exactly what it does (Free up space = temp + trash, non-destructive;
Delete all transfers = clears history + cached share content, keeps received
files).
Fix the summary sticking on "Calculating…": it loaded only on .onAppear and bailed
when opened before the core finished its async launch, leaving the loading branch
showing with nothing running (only a manual refresh recovered it). loadStorageUsage
now waits for the core to become ready before reading usage, distinguishes a real
failure (retry) from loading, loads via .task, and can be refreshed on demand. Use
plain button styling with explicit tints so pressing an action no longer flips the
label to the white selection highlight.
Delete all transfers only clears core records, and the blob-store cache is
reclaimed by the core's own timer. Neither touches the app's temporary directory
(leftover picker/staging copies — hundreds of MB on macOS) or the stray .Trash
folders that accumulate in app-owned directories and can't be removed via
Files/Finder. Add a non-destructive Free up space button that empties the temp
directory and removes .Trash folders under the core data dir (and, on iOS, the
fixed Documents receive folder), reporting the bytes reclaimed. Guarded against
running while a transfer is in flight; never touches received files, the core
database, or user-chosen macOS receive folders.
macOS uses a single-instance `Window` scene instead of `WindowGroup`, which
otherwise lets the app open multiple windows (via ⌘N). iPadOS sets
`UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScenes = false` to block a second scene via Stage
Manager / split view. (`LSMultipleInstancesProhibited` only blocks a second
process, not a second window.)
Set LSMultipleInstancesProhibited so re-launching VniDrop (or opening a
vnidrop URL) activates the running instance instead of spawning a second
copy. iOS ignores the key — it's single-instance already.
The macOS sidebar selection and item icons rendered in the system default
blue because the app had no global accent color — SwiftUI's `.tint` doesn't
reach the AppKit-backed sidebar. Add an AccentColor asset (the exact sRGB of
VniDropColors.brandPurple) and wire ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_GLOBAL_ACCENT_COLOR_NAME
so the accent applies at the OS level everywhere, including the sidebar.
The "Save received transfers to" section was a gray folder label that read
like a disabled field, stacked above two full-width buttons. Replace it with
the standard macOS "label · value · inline action" row: a folder icon + the
current folder name with a trailing "Choose folder" button, long names
truncated in the middle. "Use default" now shows only when a custom folder is
actually set (hidden when already on the default, where it'd be a no-op).
Confirming a transfer/history deletion flashed the same confirmation alert a
second time before it went away. The destructive button runs confirmDelete
synchronously (setting isDeleting = true), while the alert's isPresented
dismiss binding fires asynchronously and then no-ops because its
`if !isDeleting` guard is already false — leaving the open flag set, so macOS
re-reads the binding as true and re-presents the alert until the async delete
finally clears it.
Close the confirmation flag synchronously in confirmDeleteTransfer /
confirmHistoryDelete so there's no window for re-presentation. Tests assert
the flag clears immediately, before the async delete completes.
Adds project-wide build settings (applied to every target) so they persist
in project.yml instead of the gitignored generated .xcodeproj:
- DEAD_CODE_STRIPPING: strip unreachable code from release binaries
- CLANG_ANALYZER_LOCALIZABILITY_NONLOCALIZED: flag user-facing strings that
aren't localized (the app ships 9 languages), surfaced during Analyze
Adds background notifications for the "the thing you were waiting for is
done" moments, alongside the existing incoming-approval-request one:
- a receive finished downloading (receive -> done)
- a receive failed / was interrupted (receive -> failed)
- a share you own failed (send -> failed)
- a receiver finished downloading your share (receiver status completed)
A new TransferNotificationCoordinator observes core state + signals and
publishes these; the decision of which moments notify is a pure function
(plannedTransferNotifications / plannedReceiverNotifications), unit-tested
independently. The first state snapshot only primes existing history as seen
so launch doesn't spam.
Notification permission is now the single source of truth. The in-app
notifications toggle and its decoupled UserDefaults preference are gone;
the Settings section shows an "Allow notifications" button that requests the
OS permission (or deep-links to Settings once decided), and notifications
gate purely on `permission == .granted`.
macOS delivery fixes:
- add a UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate so banners present even while the
app is active (the app window is usually open on macOS)
- present-when-active on macOS, suppress-when-foregrounded on iOS
- reserve the notification id before awaiting publish: the CombineLatest
fired several times and re-added the same identifier, which macOS
coalesces into a silent update with no banner
- LocalNotificationService seeds its permission at init so gating can't
race a not-yet-refreshed .notDetermined
Eight localized title/body strings added (apple-only); the shared
notifications_description copy is generalized from "receive requests" to
"transfer activity".
Localizable.xcstrings and Generated/L10n.swift are generated from
localization/strings.json — the single source of truth — yet were committed,
which caused redundant tracking and a spurious ~10k-line diff every time
Xcode reformatted the catalog on build.
Treat them like the (already gitignored) Rust bindings: generate at build
time instead of tracking them. gitignore both; make the `apple-project`
target depend on `localization` so `bun run generate` recreates them before
xcodegen; install Bun in the Apple CI job and trigger it on localization/**.
Android strings.xml stays tracked — it has no reformatting churn and its
build doesn't run the generator.
The Cancel button on an in-progress receive did nothing. CoreRepository
funnelled every core call through one serial DispatchQueue, but `receive`
is a blocking core call that occupies that queue for the whole transfer.
The tapped `cancelTransfer` was enqueued behind the in-flight `receive` on
the same serial queue, so it could never run until `receive` returned —
which it never would, because it was waiting to be cancelled. A deadlock
the button couldn't escape.
The Rust core is explicitly designed for cancel to arrive from another
thread mid-receive (VnidropCore.block_on uses a shared runtime handle for
exactly this). Extracts the two-lane dispatch into a CoreDispatcher: a
serial lane for ordered calls and a separate concurrent lane for
interrupt-style calls, and routes cancel through the latter so the signal
reaches the core and unblocks the receive.
Adds CoreDispatcherTests, including a regression guard that an interrupt
completes while the serial lane is blocked.
Replaces the stringly-typed transfer-event phase/kind/direction values
throughout the progress-derivation logic with EventPhase, EventKind and
EventDirection enums (String-backed to match the core's wire values).
CoreEventModel keeps the raw wire strings as a faithful boundary DTO but
exposes typed eventPhase/eventKind/eventDirection accessors; all logic —
progressForTransfer/Receiver, humanProgressLabel, aggregateReceiverProgress,
the refresh trigger, and the SendScreen snapshots — now compares enum cases
instead of literals. TransferProgress.phase/kind are the enums directly, so
constructions read `phase: .transfer, kind: .progress`. The two ad-hoc
phase/kind Sets collapse into "is a recognized case" (non-nil) checks.
The Apple catalog carried four stringly-named passthrough keys ("%@",
"%@ · %@", "%@ %@ · %@", "%@%%") left over from the KMP port. They were
never referenced as keys — the composite strings were built inline with
hardcoded separators, so the middot/percent formatting wasn't localizable.
Renames them to proper semantic keys in strings.json:
- format_separated_pair(first:second:) "{first} · {second}"
- format_separated_triple(first:second:third:)
- battery_level_value(level:) "{level}%"
and drops the pure-identity "%@". Wires the inline compositions (size ·
status, count files · size, receivers pending · completed, battery level)
to the generated typed accessors. Catalog now validates with zero warnings.
Replaces every stringly-typed SF Symbol name with a compile-time-checked
SFSymbol case, mirroring the L10n accessor approach. A mistyped or
OS-unavailable symbol is now a build error instead of a silently blank
glyph at runtime.
Adds the SFSafeSymbols SPM package (project.yml) and migrates all call
sites: Image(systemName:)/Label(systemImage:) -> systemSymbol, and the
five symbol-carrying view properties (AppDestination.systemSymbol,
SettingsRow.icon, AboutPoint.symbol, MethodRow.icon, PolicyOption.icon)
flipped from String to SFSymbol end to end.
Replaces every stringly-typed localization key in the Apple app with
compile-time-checked accessors generated from localization/strings.json.
A mistyped key is now a build error instead of a silent fallback to the
raw key at runtime. The runtime path is unchanged: plain keys are
String.LocalizationValue constants resolved with String(localized:) and
Apple's String Catalog still does the lookup; keys with arguments become
typed, named functions applying args through String(format:).
Generator: new renderSwiftAccessors emits apple/VniDrop/Generated/L10n.swift,
wired into generate. Renamed generic arg1/arg2 tokens on four keys to
semantic names (receiver, transferName, deviceId) and updated their context
notes; positional output is unchanged so .xcstrings (bar the 4 comments)
and the Android XML regenerate identical.
Migration: every key-carrying value flipped to String.LocalizationValue
end to end, resolved only at the leaf. Zero key literals and zero
LocalizedStringKey remain in app or test code. macOS build passes; iOS
test run pending.
Add strict custom Iroh relay profiles with safe restart and rollback across the Rust core, Compose apps, and Apple apps. Preserve multi-relay invitations and fail closed on configuration or recovery mismatches.
