## Data Sync
### iCloud Sync (iOS)
Cards and contacts are stored using SwiftData with CloudKit sync enabled. Your data automatically syncs across all your iPhones and iPads signed into the same iCloud account.
### iPhone to Watch Sync
The iPhone app syncs card data to the paired Apple Watch via App Groups. When you create, edit, or delete cards on your iPhone, the changes appear on your watch.
**Note**: The watch reads data from the iPhone. To update cards on the watch, make changes on the iPhone first.
## Architecture
- SwiftUI views are presentation only
- Shared app state uses `@Observable` classes on `@MainActor`
- SwiftData for persistence with CloudKit sync
- Protocol-oriented design for card data, sharing, contact tracking, and QR generation
- String Catalogs (`.xcstrings`) for localization (en, es-MX, fr-CA)
## Project Structure
- `BusinessCard/Models` — SwiftData card/contact models
- `BusinessCard/State` — observable app state (CardStore, ContactsStore)
- `BusinessCard/Services` — QR generation, share URLs, watch sync
- `BusinessCard/Views` — SwiftUI screens and components
- `BusinessCard/Design` — design constants and semantic colors
- `BusinessCard/Protocols` — protocol definitions
- `BusinessCardWatch/` — watchOS app target and assets
## Configuration
### Required Capabilities
**iOS Target:**
- iCloud (CloudKit enabled)
- App Groups (`group.com.mbrucedogs.BusinessCard`)
- Background Modes (Remote notifications)
- Camera (for QR code scanning)
**watchOS Target:**
- App Groups (`group.com.mbrucedogs.BusinessCard`)
### CloudKit Container
`iCloud.com.mbrucedogs.BusinessCard`
## Notes
- Share URLs are sample placeholders
- Wallet/NFC flows are stubs with alerts only
- Widget UI is a visual preview (not a WidgetKit extension)
- First launch creates sample cards for demonstration
## Running
Open `BusinessCard.xcodeproj` in Xcode and build the iOS and watch targets.
