Configuration & Testing
.gitignore: Xcode/Swift exclusionsInfo.plist: App configuration with permissionsSmartLightsIOSCompanion.entitlements: App Groups and CloudKitPackage.swift: Swift Package Manager supportDevicePersistenceTests.swift: Model validation tests
These features have the structure and API in place but require real implementations:
-
CloudKit Sync - Currently saves to local storage
- Need: CKRecord queries and saves
- Location:
CloudSyncManager.swift(lines marked with TODO)
-
Local Network Discovery - Currently returns no peers
- Need: NetServiceBrowser implementation
- Location:
MultiTransportSyncManager.swift(lines marked with TODO)
-
Bluetooth Discovery - Currently inactive
- Need: CoreBluetooth CBCentralManager implementation
- Location:
MultiTransportSyncManager.swift(lines marked with TODO)
-
Real Device Control - Updates local state only
- Need: HTTP API calls, BLE writes, or macOS relay
- Location:
RemoteControlProtocol.swift(lines marked with TODO)
✅ In Simulator (without entitlements):
- App launches with sample devices
- Full UI navigation (3 tabs)
- Device list with filtering
- Device control (power, brightness, color, temperature)
- Settings configuration
- Data persistence (UserDefaults)
- All UI interactions
- Pull to refresh
- Debounced slider updates
- Color picker with presets
✅ On Device (with entitlements):
- All of the above, plus:
- App Groups data sharing (visible to macOS app)
- CloudKit account status checking
- Bluetooth/Local Network permission requests
❌ Network Features (Stubs):
- Real CloudKit sync
- Local network device discovery
- Bluetooth device scanning
- Actual device API commands
- Clean Architecture: Models, Views, Services, Stores clearly separated
- Protocol-Oriented: Services use protocols for testability
- Observable Pattern: Combine and SwiftUI property wrappers
- Swift Concurrency: async/await throughout
- Graceful Degradation: Automatic fallbacks when capabilities unavailable
- Type Safety: Strongly typed errors and models
- Input Validation: All operations validate inputs before execution
- Error Handling: Comprehensive error types with localized descriptions
- Performance: Debounced updates, optimistic UI
- Documentation: Extensive inline comments and guides
- iOS 15+: Modern SwiftUI and Swift 5.5+
- Simulator: Full functionality with UserDefaults fallback
- Device: Full functionality with proper entitlements
- No Dependencies: Uses only system frameworks
