Replaying onboarding showed a visible probe on the 4th page because
iOS exposes no status API for the Local Network permission — the
connection attempt IS the only detector. Location and Notifications
query their status at init, so their ticks are already known when the
page appears; Local Network could only be known by probing.
Now, when onboarding is re-opened (already completed), a pre-flight
probe runs silently at open: granted connects in ms, denied reports
.waiting/.localNetworkDenied immediately, and a plain .waiting
(permission undetermined after a reinstall) cancels so page 4's
Continue still fires the prompt in context. By the time the data page
appears its tick (or denied text) is already on screen, matching the
other permission pages. First run is unchanged.
The probe result landed while the Local Network prompt was still
dismissing, so the granted tick was skipped and the page jumped
straight to the final slide. Hold 'Connected — prices will load'
on screen for a beat before auto-advancing, matching the visible
tick flow of the Location and Notifications pages.
- The Data page's probe was an HTTP GET /api/v1/stations (8s timeout)
that read as 'loading data' and could stall the slide. Replaced with a
bare TCP connect to the relay host:port — just enough to trigger the
iOS Local Network permission prompt, zero payload transferred.
- Grant -> auto-advance to the final slide (existing onChange); denial or
unreachable relay -> Continue re-enables and proceeds. 12s safety
timeout so the page can never dead-end on a spinner.
- NWConnection held on the prompter so the connect survives until the
prompt is answered. Status copy: 'Waiting for network permission…'.
Full dataset still downloads AFTER onboarding via forced refresh.
35 tests pass.
- The Prices-ready page button stays 'Continue': tapping it fires the
Local Network prompt + relay probe; on grant the page auto-advances to
the final slide (existing onChange), on denial it still advances.
- Removed the Open Settings branch from the Data page entirely (kept for
Location page, where the user can still be sent to Settings).
- Denied caption no longer suggests opening Settings. 35 tests pass.
- WidgetKit widgets can only open their containing app — the Link URL is
delivered to FuelBoard via onOpenURL, never opened directly in Maps. The
widget now links to a registered fuelboard://directions?lat=&lng= URL,
and FuelBoardApp forwards it to native maps://?daddr= directions.
(http://maps.apple.com and raw maps:// both silently dropped in-app.)
- Widget rows (small + medium) now show the full station name (station.name)
instead of just the brand.
- Onboarding network page: removed the 'Check again' secondary screen after
the Local Network prompt — Open Settings remains the only retry path.
35 tests pass.
- Widget tap-to-directions now uses the native maps:// scheme instead of
http://maps.apple.com. The universal-link http URL failed to open from a
widget and fell back to launching the containing app; maps:// opens
Apple Maps directly for both small (whole widget) and medium (per row).
- Onboarding: removed the Skip button (mandatory flow), and system prompts
(location, notifications, local network) now fire only when the user taps
Continue/Allow on each page — not when the page appears. Pages
auto-advance once a permission is granted.
- After 'Start Using FuelBoard' the first data fetch is forced, so a
reinstall that leaves a recent lastRefresh in app-group defaults can no
longer skip the fetch and leave the station list empty. 35 tests pass.
Location and network fetches no longer fire at launch before onboarding
reaches the relevant step: foreground tracking and the first refresh are
gated behind onboarding completion (scenePhase no longer starts tracking
while the cover is up, and onAppear defers its fetch until after
finish). A new Data page sits just before 'You're all set': it probes
the FuelBoard Relay, which surfaces the iOS Local Network permission
prompt in context (NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription added), verifies
connectivity, and offers Open Settings/Check again on denial. Onboarding
is now 5 pages: Welcome, Location, Notifications, Data, Done. 35 tests
pass.
- FuelType labels: 'Unleaded (E10)'/'Premium (E5)' -> 'Unleaded'/'Premium'
- New DistanceUnit (miles/km) preference; all app + widget distances,
radii and alert text convert/display in the chosen unit
- Settings tab (4th tab): segmented miles/km picker, 'Show introduction'
replay button (onboarding moved out of Alerts tab), StoreKit tip £4.99
- ProximityMonitor + widget notifications use the chosen unit
- Tests: label expectations updated, DistanceUnit conversion + format tests
