- RoadDistanceService builds route endpoints with MKMapItem(location:address:)
instead of the MKPlacemark path deprecated in iOS 26.
- LiveActivityManager updates through ActivityContent, replacing the
ActivityKit update(using:) call deprecated in iOS 16.2.
- The location-update hook no longer captures an unused state object; the
closure body already runs on self, so behaviour is unchanged.
Distance confidence
- Every distance surface takes the figure AND its "Approx." marker from one
FuelStore.stationDistanceDisplay call (station rows, detail sheet, widget,
Live Activity, watch, Siri), so a surface can never mark one figure approximate
while showing a routed one. Radius filters and Closest ordering test that same
displayed distance, so no row can read a distance outside the radius that
filtered it (the reported "14.6 mi inside a 10-mile list").
Accurate distances (Settings -> Distances, default off)
- Off: the browse layer serves the straight line, marked Approx., for every row,
so two installs agree to the metre and the app makes no route requests at all.
- On: routed distances for the whole search area, unmarked, served only from a
COMPLETE set anchored within 600 m — a partial fill reverts every row at once
rather than mixing road and straight-line bases.
- Best Value maths sits deliberately outside the toggle: it keeps using measured
road routes and its own confidence marking, so money figures never move with
the switch.
- Fills run only while the toggle is on and the app is frontmost; capacity raised
to 600 stations per pass; completeness tolerates pins Apple Maps has no route
for, which otherwise left an area permanently incomplete and the whole list
stuck on estimates.
Performance (the reported slowdown switching to Closest / launching with it)
- FuelStore.accurateDistancesEnabled was a UserDefaults(suiteName:) read per
call: a synchronous cfprefsd round-trip measured at ~1.9 us, ~200k calls per
Closest sort. Memoised, with the setter keeping it in step.
- Both keyed sorts decorate their keys — one distance per station, carried as an
index instead of copying whole stations into the decorated array — and the
comparison baseline plus per-station journeys now come from ONE pass instead of
two full scans per tab. The Stations tab also reuses its single sorted list for
the count and the TOP badge instead of sorting the country three times.
- Measured on iPhone SE (7,914-station Closest pool): sort 36.6 ms -> 17.1 ms per
list, Cheapest 6 ms, Best Value 11 ms.
- DEBUG probes: FB_PERF list timing, FB_PERF_BENCH toggle-read benchmark, and
FB_DIST_FOCUS now reports the served value, marker and mode (and re-prints when
a fill lands). FB_ACCURATE_DISTANCES / FB_SORT_MODE env forms for devices, where
devicectl eats a leading-dash argument.
Tests: 198, 0 failures. Device and simulator Debug builds green.
The widget/Live Activity showed straight-line haversine distance (0.8 mi)
while Apple Maps routes 1.8 mi. Road routing is too heavy for the widget
execution + ~40-70/day refresh budget, so the APP now computes it:
- New RoadDistanceService (app target): for the nearest 12 stations each
pass, calls MapKit MKDirections (free, no API key, matches Apple Maps)
and caches metres keyed by station ID.
- Cache stored in KEYCHAIN (fuelboard.roadDistances) so the widget reads it
even on free SideStore accounts with no app-group container; only valid
within 600 m of the location it was built from.
- Throttled: recompute max every 10 min, or when the user moves > 400 m;
wired into the location-update hook + location onChange.
- Widget face, app station rows + Live Activity show the cached road
distance, falling back to straight-line when absent.
- 4 new cache tests (105 total).
- Settings → Live Activity now has Fuel and Distance pickers (5/10/15,
unit-aware) stored under fuelboard.liveActivityFuel / liveActivityRadiusMiles
- LiveActivityManager uses these instead of the Stations-tab selectedFuel /
stationLimit; Stations changes no longer re-target the pill
- Fuel moved from Activity attributes into ContentState so changing fuel in
Settings updates the RUNNING activity in place (no end+restart needed)
- Stations tab stays a pure data-interrogation + favourites surface
