On a wide window too short for every entry (a folded Duo on its side) the
rail's list scrolls with its scrollbar hidden, and settings and
administration at its foot were cut off without a sign. The list now fades
at the edge with more behind it, as other scrolling lists do.
watch-screens.sh names the step that failed (launch, not ready,
screenshot) and tries once more after 20 seconds before it gives up.
The complication timeline has entries for every planned day in its window
and rebuilds at midnight; its countdowns count by themselves. Times of
day are wall-clock hours and minutes, never minutes added to midnight,
and every formatter follows the zone the watch is in. A ride ends in its
arrival's zone, which the snapshot now carries. Bookings without a time
are all-day and get no countdown, a day of untimed places shows its
first place instead of "day done", idle complications say what fits the
trip's phase. The watch finishes WatchConnectivity deliveries in a
background task, sends a tick to the phone only until it is handed over,
and keeps nothing in UserDefaults, so its bundles use no API that needs a
privacy declaration.
The booking's countdown moves under its time and its reference and seat
under each other when a row is too short, menu rows and the countdown
title take a second line, a list's count opens the list instead of
crowding its title, text people wrote in Latin letters breaks between
words in a Chinese, Japanese or Korean interface, and the day opens at
its top with nothing behind its title. A trip's pages take one of a set
of clean colours by its id, the same in every language; the capture
switches the simulators to a 24 hour clock after English.
Countdowns use the system's short relative style in every language
("через 2 ч", "in 5 Min."), and durations take the watch's language;
a stop on now shows its range, not a countdown. The top-level pages drop
the titles that collided with the scroll indicator, the pages keep the
standard margins, the day header carries a chevron instead of a crowded
icon, the booking page fits on one screen with its reference and seat,
the day timeline opens at the stop that is on, the map is drawn from
above without labels, the bookings list has the trip's light, and the
complication preview adapts to the case size. The sample trip speaks
German and Russian in those languages.
Each launch is terminated first, retried after 2, 5 and 10 seconds when
the simulator refuses it, and captured once the app reports the screen
drawn instead of after a fixed wait. The job fails when any expected
image is missing.
The place map is flat and muted without points of interest, with the
stop's own pin; the day timeline gives a street two lines; the today page
puts what follows into the card instead of a list cut off at the fold, and
its header opens the day. The screenshot mode takes the real clock, moved
to the hour a screen needs through the app's time zone, so the clock in
the corner agrees; the capture covers three watch sizes, three languages
and every state.
A watchOS app embedded in the iPhone app: today's next stop with its
countdown, the next booking with reference, seat and platform, the trip
with its days and places (Directions into Apple Maps), and the packing
list and to-dos to tick off. The phone sends the snapshot through
WatchConnectivity; ticks go back as queued user info. Three
complications (next stop, countdown, trip day) in every accessory family,
scored for the Smart Stack. 28 languages.
The native workflow captures every screen from watchOS simulators in a
screenshot mode, on the largest and the smallest watch.
A share extension puts TREK in the share sheet of Mail, Safari, Files, Wallet
and any app that shares a document, a link, text or a photo. It shows what came
in (a Wallet pass, a PDF, a mail, the page as Safari rendered it, text, a photo)
and the user's trips with their covers, the next one already picked, and hands
both to the app, which opens that trip's booking import with the file in place.
"Choose later" leaves the trip question to the app's import sheet as before.
- ShareExtension target (add-extension.rb learns "share": JavaScript and the
localizations go in as resources), bundle com.liketrek.trek.share, signed in
the release lane, its plists linted in native.yml
- Safari hands over the rendered page (SharePage.js), so a confirmation behind
a sign-in arrives whole; other apps' links are fetched
- The item travels through the shared keychain group the widgets already use;
the app takes it on com.liketrek.trek://share or when it next becomes active
- Feature shareSheet; strings in the app's 28 languages
A WidgetKit extension (TREKWidgets) with two parts: the next trip on the home
screen, with a countdown before it starts and today's day and next stops
while it runs, and a Live Activity for the travel day on the lock screen and
in the Dynamic Island showing the next timed stop and the day's progress.
The web app builds both from the trips stored offline on the device
(native/widgets.ts) and hands them over through TrekShell
(setWidgetSnapshot, syncTripDay, endTripDay). The texts are already
translated, so the widget needs no localisation of its own. The snapshot
lives in the keychain group the app shares with its extensions, so no App
Group is needed. Taps open com.liketrek.trek://navigate/<path>.
NativeWidgetsSync refreshes on start, on returning to the foreground and every
quarter hour. Both parts are gated behind the widgets / liveActivity
capabilities, so older binaries and the PWA are unaffected.
The relay hands APNs the encrypted record with a placeholder text and
mutable-content set; the new Notification Service Extension opens it with
the device's Web Push keys from the shared keychain group (RFC 8291 on
CryptoKit) and shows the real title, text and link. Without the keys the
placeholder stays, so a notification arrives either way and nothing on the
way reads it.
The target came in through ios/scripts/add-extension.rb (kept, idempotent),
its App ID is registered, and the release lane signs every target with its
own App Store profile. Web Push payloads now stop at 2800 bytes so the
encrypted, base64-encoded record still fits Apple's 4 KB.
