Resolve the macOS half of the SDD-119 item 3 single-source-of-truth follow-up. The chanora_bridge cdylib macOS deployment-target floor ('10.15') was previously hard-coded at 7 sites across Podfile and chanora_bridge.podspec; this commit collapses them to a single Ruby constant declaration in a new SoT file.
Selected Option B (Ruby constant) over Option A (.xcconfig — rejected because the podspec prepare_command runs before any xcconfig is applied) and Option C (versioned text file — rejected as overkill given both consumers are already Ruby). Realizes SAD-087(a)'s 'single macOS build-configuration location' mandate.
Out of scope: the pbxproj 'MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.15' lines (565/666/717) belong to the PBXProject default config and are independently overridden to '11.0' at the Runner PBXNativeTarget level; they are the Runner app's floor, not the bridge cdylib's floor. The iOS half (IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=13.0) remains an open follow-up.
Files: new apps/chanora_flutter/macos/macos_deployment_target.rb (MACOS_BRIDGE_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = '10.15'.freeze); Podfile + chanora_bridge.podspec require_relative the constant and consume it at 7 sites; docs/architecture/sdd.md SDD-119 item 3 rewritten + Notes bullet updated + v0.9.17 changelog entry.
Debug and Profile had ENABLE_OUTGOING_NETWORK_CONNECTIONS = NO which
blocked outbound TCP. All three configs now have:
- ENABLE_HARDENED_RUNTIME = YES
- ENABLE_OUTGOING_NETWORK_CONNECTIONS = YES
This was the root cause of the 'Operation not permitted' connection
failure on macOS Sequoia.
macOS:
- Transparent title bar with hidden title, full-size content view
- macOS: inline Row header (no AppBar) with 56px traffic-light pad
- Other platforms: standard Material AppBar unchanged
- App name 'Chanora' in CFBundleName/CFBundleDisplayName (iOS + macOS)
- NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription added to both platforms
Linux:
- tools/build-linux.sh: builds Rust .so + Flutter bundle + tarball
- Verifies GTK3, libopus dev headers, Rust target
- Copies libchanora_bridge.so into bundle/lib/
Required for local network privacy prompt on macOS 15+ and iOS 14+.
App appears in System Settings → Local Network after connecting to a
LAN server. Internet-hosted servers only need network.client entitlement.
When macOS denies network access (PermissionDenied), show a localized
dialog explaining how to grant permission in System Settings, with
an 'Open System Settings' button that opens directly to the Local
Network privacy pane.
Also adds author info (Edison Jwa) to About dialog and moves
diagnostics button from AppBar into About dialog.
User report from sideloaded iPhone build, in order of priority:
#4 'Could not join channel: audio: audio backend:
build_output_stream: The requested stream configuration is
not supported by the device.'
Cause: we forced cpal::BufferSize::Fixed(2048) on the output
and input streams unconditionally on non-Linux. iOS CoreAudio
RemoteIO units reject arbitrary buffer-size requests with that
exact error. Windows WASAPI needs the pinning for shared-mode
jitter, but macOS / iOS do not.
Fix: cfg-gate Fixed(2048) to target_os = 'windows'; everywhere
else use BufferSize::Default and let the platform HAL pick.
crates/chanora_audio/src/engine.rs.
#5 'Could not join channel: invariant violated:
voice_in already taken'
Cause: start_audio tore down the old engine BEFORE attempting
to construct the new one, and consumed voice_in (an mpsc
Receiver that can only be taken once) early. When the new
engine failed mid-construction (e.g. because of #4 above) the
session was left with: no audio engine, voice_in consumed,
no way to retry without reconnect. The second voice_join
attempt surfaced the invariant message.
Fix: build the new engine BEFORE tearing down the old. Only
swap state.audio if construction succeeded. crates/chanora_
core/src/lib.rs::ChanoraSession::start_audio. Additionally
added a put_voice_in helper to the protocol adapter (
crates/chanora_protocol/src/adapter.rs) for a future
broadcast-channel migration; the helper is unused on the
immediate fix path but documents the intent.
#3 'permission request would better on first open'
Cause: AVAudioSession only triggers the mic-permission
prompt the first time it tries to record. We never recorded
until voice_join, so the prompt fired then.
Fix iOS: AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().requestRecordPermission
in AppDelegate.swift::application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:).
Fix macOS: AVCaptureDevice.requestAccess(for: .audio) in
macos/Runner/AppDelegate.swift::applicationDidFinishLaunching.
Both run non-blocking; user can deny without crashing app
launch, and voice_join then surfaces a clearer downstream
error when the engine fails to open the input device.
#1 + #2 'one-column upper takes too much space; Push to Talk
button at bottom would be better'
Layout rework for narrow-mode (single column, mobile shape):
- Flipped the stacking order in main.dart so Voice Bar moves
to the BOTTOM of the body and the channel tree (Expanded)
fills above. Wide-mode (Row, >= 840 dp) layout unchanged.
- Inside the Voice Bar on touch-only hosts, moved the
on-screen Push to Talk button to be the LAST element of
the Voice Bar (was Row 3). Order now: pill + mutes, mode
badge + settings, level meter, stats line, release-tail
caption, PTT button. The button is closest to the user's
thumb when the Voice Bar is pinned to the bottom of a
narrow-layout screen.
#6 'remove right top debug badge'
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false on the MaterialApp.
Release builds never showed it anyway; this only affects
local dev / debug builds.
#7 'what does the refresh button use for? nothing happened'
Removed. The snapshot updates via BridgeEvent::SnapshotChanged
are pushed from the bridge — a manual rust.snapshot() call
was redundant. Now only the Diagnostics + Disconnect actions
remain in the AppBar trailing row when connected.
#8 'Bind Key related function should not be added to a mobile
platform'
widgets/voice_settings.dart: bind-key OutlinedButton is now
#cfg'd out when Platform.isIOS || Platform.isAndroid. The
release-tail slider stays because it still applies to the
on-screen PTT button. Capability badge in voice_bar.dart
also hidden on mobile (it would always show L0Focused which
is redundant with the visible on-screen button).
Tests + analyze: chanora_audio 34/0/0 on macOS, workspace 78/0/1
on Linux; flutter analyze clean (6 pre-existing Radio.groupValue
infos). flutter build ios --release --no-codesign: 28.8 s clean
(Runner.app 29.9 MB).
Apple has enforced a `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` privacy manifest at App
Store submission since May 2024 for iOS / iPadOS / visionOS /
watchOS, and rolled the requirement out to macOS in late 2024.
Without the file, App Store Connect rejects archive uploads with
"missing required privacy manifest". This commit adds the manifest
for both iOS and macOS Runner targets.

Identical content. Declarations:
NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes:
NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeAudioData
Microphone audio transmitted to the user's chosen voice
server while connected and unmuted. Not linked to user
identity (no Apple ID / IDFA tied), not used for tracking.
Purpose: AppFunctionality (communications).
NSPrivacyTracking: false
NSPrivacyTrackingDomains: []
Chanora performs no cross-app / cross-website tracking.
NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes:
FileTimestamp (C617.1)
tokio + rusqlite file I/O for identity.tskey, chanora.db,
audio_meta.json, chanora.log inside the app container.
UserDefaults (CA92.1)
Indirect via path_provider Flutter plugin querying for
Application Support / Documents directories.
SystemBootTime (35F9.1)
tracing-subscriber timestamps log records relative to boot.
DiskSpace (85F4.1)
rusqlite checks before sqlite page writes.
All four "required reason" API categories use Apple's published
allow-list reason codes; no fingerprinting / analytics usage.

Added PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy to the Runner group and to the
Runner target's "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase via the
xcodeproj Ruby gem (via a one-shot script). With this, the file
is placed at Runner.app/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy where Apple's
validator looks for it — `find Runner.app -name
PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` shows our manifest at the bundle root
alongside Flutter's and connectivity_plus's.
Verified on the M1 Mac (coder@100.118.130.73):
flutter build ios --release --no-codesign 4.0 s
-> Runner.app/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy present
flutter build ipa --release --no-codesign 28.4 s
-> Runner.xcarchive built (171.4 MB)
-> archive's Runner.app/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy present
-> archive's Runner.app/Frameworks/chanora_bridge.framework
built fresh via the chanora_bridge.podspec prepare_command
under xcodebuild's sandbox (no PATH / env weirdness).
P1 follow-ups noted by xcodebuild's validator (not blockers for
this commit but for App Store submission):
* Real app icon (currently default placeholder)
* Real launch image (currently default placeholder)
* Paid Apple Developer Program account, registered App ID, and
Distribution provisioning profile (Personal Team sideloads
still work as today).
macOS:
* Runner/DebugProfile.entitlements + Release.entitlements: add
com.apple.security.network.client (outbound TS3 server connect)
and com.apple.security.device.audio-input (microphone capture).
Debug keeps com.apple.security.network.server + cs.allow-jit
(Flutter hot-reload needs both); Release drops them.
* Runner/Info.plist: add NSMicrophoneUsageDescription and
NSInputMonitoringUsageDescription so the macOS system prompts
show a sensible explanation when Chanora first needs mic or
Input Monitoring access. Input Monitoring is required by
CGEventTapCreate (SDD-085).
* Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: switch Debug/Release/Profile
code-signing from Automatic + Apple Development to Manual +
"Sign to Run Locally" (CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = -). This lets
`flutter build macos --release` work over SSH where the login
keychain is locked. The owner re-enables the personal team
locally in Xcode for physical-device iOS testing later.
iOS:
* Runner/Info.plist: add NSMicrophoneUsageDescription and the
UIBackgroundModes = ['audio'] entry so voice traffic continues
when the app is backgrounded (TS3 servers drop clients on idle
audio streams).
tools/macos-postbuild.sh: new script. flutter build macos --release
emits build/macos/Build/Products/Release/chanora_flutter.app but
does NOT bundle libchanora_bridge.dylib. FRB on macOS dlopen()s the
bridge as chanora_bridge.framework/chanora_bridge, not a plain
dylib. This script:
1. Wraps target/release/libchanora_bridge.dylib in a proper
chanora_bridge.framework (Versions/A layout, Info.plist,
Resources, symlinks).
2. Rewrites LC_ID_DYLIB to
@rpath/chanora_bridge.framework/chanora_bridge.
3. Ad-hoc codesigns the framework and the .app bundle.
4. Verifies with codesign --verify --deep --strict.
macOS analogue of buildit.cmd on Windows. Auto-integration into
Xcode build phases via cargokit / corrosion is a P1 carryover.
Verified end-to-end on the M1 Mac:
cargo build --release -p chanora_bridge 11.76 s
flutter build macos --release ok (59.2 MB)
tools/macos-postbuild.sh Release ok
chanora_flutter.app launch via SSH bridge initialised,
identity + bookmark
store initialised
(~5 s smoke).
~/Library/Logs/app.chanora.chanora_flutter/chanora.log captures
the boot sequence cleanly.
DEC-025 reference: macOS desktop is officially in scope.
Ran `flutter create --platforms=macos,ios --project-name=chanora_flutter
--org=app.chanora .` on the M1 Mac to generate the standard Flutter
platform-specific scaffolding (Runner.xcodeproj, Podfile, AppDelegate,
entitlements, etc.) for both macOS and iOS.
The cross-platform Dart source (lib/) and Rust workspace (crates/,
core/) carry the actual application logic; these scaffolds are
required only so flutter build macos / ios can resolve their Xcode
projects. No application code added.
macOS smoke-launch from the M1 Mac verified the bridge dylib load
path: after manually wrapping libchanora_bridge.dylib into a proper
chanora_bridge.framework bundle (FRB on macOS expects a framework,
not a plain dylib) and codesigning ad-hoc, the runner starts cleanly
through 'bridge initialised', 'identity store initialised', 'bookmark
store initialised' just like the Linux runner.
Following commits will:
* Wire the framework-bundling step into build glue (currently manual
install_name_tool + codesign).
* Replace the macOS PTT backend stub (crates/chanora_audio/src/
ptt_backends/macos.rs) with live IOHIDCheckAccess +
CGEventTapCreate so the descriptor advertises real L2/L3 capability
on a permission-granted box (SDD-085).
* Add the iOS AVAudioSession PlayAndRecord+voiceChat wiring.
* Add docs/verification/macos-p0-acceptance.md and ios-p0-acceptance.md.
