After picking a plan, the app now carries the whole purchase itself when the build
can take one: choose your address (checked for free as you type, against the same
endpoint the website uses), your email, and subscribe. The receipt goes to
/api/iap/redeem, and a Setting up your TREK screen waits on the new address and
loads it the moment it answers.
The purchase sits behind an IapClient seam (src/native/iap.ts): a fake drives the
whole flow in development and preview, the native client reports itself
unavailable until the store plugin and products exist, and until then the plan
picker still finishes on the web, so nothing half-wired faces a customer. New
claim and provisioning strings across all locales (en, de and the five largest
European languages translated).
The Get TREK Cloud path now leads to a plan picker that reads the live plans
from the site (/api/plans), so the prices and quotas always match the website.
Monthly and yearly in a segmented toggle, the year marked with its saving, each
plan a card with its price and what it includes. Subscribe is wired to finish on
the web order for now; it becomes an Apple/Google in-app purchase once the store
products exist. New strings across all locales (en and de translated).
The app's own screen now opens on a welcome: the TREK mark, a line about what
TREK is, and two clear paths — connect the TREK you already open in the browser,
or get TREK Cloud. Both lead to polished screens: the address field with live
validation, a shake and haptic on a bad address and a success tick before the
server takes over; and a TREK Cloud intro with what it offers and a way in.
Screens slide and stagger in, buttons give a tap, and it all respects the safe
areas, light and dark, and reduced motion. Self-hosters are unaffected: cloud is
its own path, never in the way. New native strings are added across all locales
(English placeholders outside en/de, to translate).
- iOS: microphone usage text for "Take Video", no-export-compliance flag,
ExportOptions.plist for App Store Connect uploads, the unused push
forwarders gone; CI builds with Xcode 26 and lints the property lists.
- Android: version and signing from Gradle properties (unsigned without
them), R8 with keep rules for TREK's and Capacitor's reflective classes,
no Auto Backup of the session cookie, no external file provider path,
template and Firebase leftovers removed, keystores and service accounts
ignored, full-size adaptive icon layers with a monochrome layer; CI also
builds the release APK.
- native-release.yml: signed bundle to a Play testing track and archive to
TestFlight, by hand or on a v* tag, behind the store environment.
- Version handshake: the server reports nativeApi 1, the app refuses a
server below its minimum and tolerates an app older than the offline copy.
- Address screen: privacy policy link, "Try the demo" and "What is a TREK
server?"; the privacy link also in the app's server settings. Three new
native strings in all 27 locales.
- Donation links and the notices asking for one are hidden in the app.
- Store listings for "TREK Travel Planner" in client/fastlane: texts, review
notes with placeholders, privacy and account deletion page drafts, the
feature graphic and icon, a length and image check in CI, and a Playwright
store project with the scripts that turn its captures into screenshots.
- Docs: wiki/Native-Apps.md, README no longer says there is no store app.
The apps ship only an address screen now. Once a server is picked, the
native side points the WebView at it: TrekBridgeViewController on iOS and a
config copy with server.url on Android. The UI then comes from that server,
in the version it runs and on its own origin, so the session cookie,
uploads, /ws and plugins work exactly as in a browser and no app release
has to keep pace with the servers out there.
The address screen (native-shell/, built into native-dist/) probes
/api/health/features through native HTTP, tries https before http when no
scheme was typed, and refuses servers without the nativeApp flag. It also
serves as the error page when the remembered server does not load: retry,
change server, or on iOS the stored copy of the server's start page.
TrekShell is the app's own plugin for all of that: remember, change and
reload the server, sign in through ASWebAuthenticationSession or a Custom
Tab, and on iOS keep and open the offline copy of the start page, because
WKWebView runs no service worker for a domain the app does not list.
Plugins the frame does not use are gone (push, camera, geolocation,
calendar, file transfer, in-app browser and more): the WebView covers the
camera and location itself, and push needs a relay before it is worth
shipping. With them go the push entitlement, the calendar usage strings
and the Firebase bits. The iOS scheme falls back to capacitor://, since
Capacitor drops an iosScheme of https, and the arm64 capability replaces
armv7.
