Adds Assets.xcassets with a placeholder 1024x1024 AppIcon so Xcode
compiles CFBundleIconName and the required icon sizes into the bundle.
Replaces UILaunchStoryboardName (missing storyboard) with UILaunchScreen
dict, valid for iOS 14+ (min target is iOS 18). Fixes all four App Store
Connect validation errors blocking TestFlight upload.
Changes main app bundle ID from cat.voice.VoiceCatiOS, broadcast extension
from cat.voice.VoiceCatiOS.broadcast, and App Group from group.cat.voice.VoiceCat
to match the registered App Store identifier.
iOS "voice chat" had echo and no noise suppression: real iOS AEC/NS/AGC
come only from Apple's Voice-Processing I/O unit (VPIO), but the core
plays/captures via miniaudio's plain RemoteIO units, so .voiceChat mode
alone never engaged AEC.
Core (ABI PATCH 1->2):
- vc_set_mixed_output_sink + vc_set_external_playback. In external mode the
AudioEngine opens no hardware playback device; a mixer-timer thread drives
on_playback (decode+mix) on a ~20ms cadence and ships the final mix to the
sink. start() also skips the hardware capture device when the MIC stream is
external_feed (AudioParams.external_capture).
- New white-box test test_external_playback (drives the timer with no hw).
iOS/Swift:
- StreamDescriptor.externalFeed; VoiceCatClient.setMixedOutputSink /
setExternalPlayback wrappers.
- IOSVoiceProcessingEngine: AVAudioEngine + setVoiceProcessingEnabled; mic
tap -> feedPcm, mixed-sink lock-free ring -> AVAudioSourceNode (both share
the VPIO unit so AEC has its reference signal).
- IOSAudioRouter.currentConfigUsesVoiceProcessing scopes VPIO to the AEC
presets; SessionState join/leave + reconcileVoicePath() switch paths;
Voice Chat defaults to speaker; Settings surfaces AEC/NS state.
Known: pending on-device verification; a few bugs to fix afterward.
- Channels tab is now a drill-down on iPhone: ChannelBrowserView lists top-level
channels; ChannelDetailView shows the people in a channel, its sub-channels, and
an explicit Join button (with password prompt). iPad split view unchanged.
- Extract self-contained UserRow (context menu + sheets) from UserListView so admin
actions are reused in the drill-down.
- Fix off-screen chat compose box: pin VoiceControlsView via per-tab
.safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) instead of a floating overlay, so it reserves layout
space above the tab bar (keeping the compose box visible, cooperating with keyboard
avoidance) without covering the tab bar buttons.
- Collapse Activity into Chat like macOS/Windows: ChatView renders a merged,
time-sorted timeline of messages + activity (activity rows in gray); remove the
Activity tab and ActivityLogView.
- Label the RPSystemBroadcastPickerView inner UIButton for VoiceOver
("Share/Stop sharing screen audio") instead of relying on an outer SwiftUI label.
Implement system/desktop audio sharing on the Apple clients, feeding the
existing SCREEN_AUDIO Opus -> AEAD -> UDP path via vc_stream_feed_pcm. No
C++/protocol/codec changes -- the core was already ready (the Windows-only
loopback is #ifdef VOICECAT_HAS_LOOPBACK; off Windows the stream just waits
for fed PCM). Audio only; video is dropped.
macOS (in-process):
- ScreenAudioCapture.swift drives an audio-only SCStream
(excludesCurrentProcessAudio), converts Float32 -> int16 in the channel's
mono/stereo mode, and calls feedPcm. Capture starts on the self
.streamStarted event (effective config known then). Wired into
MainWindowController.screenAudioClicked().
iOS (forward-to-host, single session):
- VoiceCatBroadcast: a ReplayKit Broadcast Upload Extension consumes
.audioApp only, resamples to 48kHz int16 stereo (AVAudioConverter), and
writes a shared App Group SPSC ring (BroadcastAudioRing.swift). It does
not link libvoicecat.
- Host BroadcastAudioPump drains the ring (reacting to the extension's
Darwin notifications) and feeds the SCREEN_AUDIO stream it owns, downmixing
to mono when the channel is mono. Screen audio appears as a second stream
of the same user; no credentials persisted. UI is RPSystemBroadcastPicker
View in VoiceControlsView. Removes the speculative BroadcastCredentials.

Three iOS client problems fixed plus a new core stereo-mic capture ABI:
1. Channel-id sync bug (mic button permanently dimmed): SessionState never
synced currentChannelId from the self user's channelId on connect, so the
mic button (gated on currentChannelId == 0) stayed dimmed. Added
syncSelfChannel() (mirrors macOS MainWindowController.swift:461,491,522);
called from init/.channelList/.userJoined/.userLeft/.userUpdated/.joinResult.
Added applyServerMuteState() + serverMuted/serverDeafened to VoiceState.
2. Join/Leave Voice button: replaced icon-only mic toggle with explicit
text button (parity with macOS). Mute/deafen disable when not in voice.
3. IOSAudioRouter.swift (new): full AVAudioSession routing layer — input
port selection, built-in mic orientation/polar patterns, Bluetooth
HFP/A2DP/Off modes, Standard/Raw mic processing, stereo capture, AirPlay,
UserDefaults persistence. AudioSessionManager delegates to it.
4. Core stereo-mic capture (append-only ABI): vc_set_capture_channels()
lets the core open the mic device in stereo (2-ch interleaved). LocalStream
gains capture_channels; ensure_audio_running reads it; audio_engine.cpp
capture_accum_ + on_capture updated to channel-aware accumulation. Test
test_stereo_mic_capture (headless, L!=R stereo round-trip). Swift wrapper
VoiceCatClient.setCaptureChannels.
5. Settings UI rework: AVAudioSession-derived input/output tree replaces
miniaudio device picker.
6. iOS deployment target raised to 18.0 (Package.swift + project.pbxproj).
swift-tools-version 6.0 with swiftLanguageModes .v5.
Docs: tech-stack.md, architecture.md, voice.md, roadmap.md, building.md
updated; stale 'vc_audio_suspend/resume deferred' claims corrected.
Verified: ctest --preset dev 21/21 green; swift test 6/6 green;
xcodebuild -target VoiceCatiOS -sdk iphonesimulator BUILD SUCCEEDED.
Full SwiftUI app at clients/apple/iOS/VoiceCatiOS.xcodeproj:
- 24 Swift source files: AppState + SessionState (@Observable @MainActor),
AudioSessionManager (AVAudioSession owner + interruption/route handling),
ServerListStore/SavedServer (App Group container + Keychain sharing),
and 14 SwiftUI views covering the full feature set
- NavigationSplitView on iPad, TabView on iPhone (horizontalSizeClass)
- Channel tree via OutlineGroup, user list with context menu admin actions
- PTT via DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0) + @GestureState
- onEvent closures hop to MainActor via Task { @MainActor in ... }
- App Group: group.cat.voice.VoiceCat (shared with future ReplayKit extension)
C ABI: add vc_audio_suspend / vc_audio_resume (AudioEngine::suspend/resume)
called by AudioSessionManager on AVAudioSession interruption events.
XCFramework: add ios-arm64 and ios-arm64-simulator slices to build-xcframework.sh;
Package.swift gains .iOS(.v17) platform; CMakePresets.json adds apple-ios /
apple-ios-sim presets with arm64-ios / arm64-ios-simulator vcpkg triplets.
Verified: xcodebuild -target VoiceCatiOS -sdk iphonesimulator26.5 BUILD SUCCEEDED.
