🔲 Planned Features

High Priority (Photo Sharing via App Clip)

    • Solves the QR code size limitation for photos
    • Recipient scans QR → App Clip loads instantly → "Add to Contacts" with photo
    • Uses CloudKit for ephemeral card storage (auto-deletes after save)

    Implementation phases:

    1. CloudKit Setup

      • Enable CloudKit capability
      • Create SharedCard record type (name, role, company, vCard data, photo asset)
      • Add expiresAt field for auto-cleanup
      • Implement upload function in main app
      • Implement cleanup (delete expired cards on app launch)

    2. App Clip Target

      • Configure Associated Domains (appclips:yourapp.com)
      • Build minimal UI: card preview + "Add to Contacts" button
      • Fetch card from CloudKit using URL parameter
      • Use CNContactStore to save contact with photo
      • Call delete/mark-complete on CloudKit after save

    3. Main App Integration

      • Upload card to CloudKit on share
      • Generate QR code with App Clip URL

🔧 Technical Improvements

Completed

  • SwiftData persistence with CloudKit sync
  • Bedrock integration - Design system, QR code generator
  • iOS-Watch sync via WatchConnectivity framework
    • ⚠️ App Groups do NOT work for iPhone ↔ Watch (different devices)
    • Uses updateApplicationContext for persistent sync
    • Watch app must be embedded in iOS app with "Code Sign On Copy" checked
  • Unit tests for models, stores, and new features
  • Fixed data persistence - Removed aggressive store deletion on startup
  • Custom symbol assets - Brand icons in asset catalog with proper rendering

Planned

  • Siri shortcuts - "Share my work card"
  • App Intents - iOS 17+ action button support

📝 Notes

  • Features marked with 🔲 are planned but not yet implemented
  • Features requiring backend are deferred until infrastructure is available
  • Priority may shift based on user feedback
  • watchOS uses WatchConnectivity (NOT App Groups) - see Agents.md for details
  • fullName is computed, not stored - never add a displayName property
