Bundle an iOS version

[guaka]

Todo to get out a basic iOS app:

• Fix "back to map" button in safari iOS safari: most of "back to map" button is hidden trustroots#675
• Fix window.postMessage Setting onMessage on a WebView overrides existing values of window.postMessage, but a previous value was defined #11 (I think it simply tells the site that we’re on webview and the site will then hide some stuff — I can check later how critical it is)
• Check that we have at least a home icon on iOS dash (some generated icons here: https://github.com/Trustroots/media/tree/master/icons/ios/native)
• Get AppleId for Trustroots + developer account
• Generate store certs, backup them, backup them again
• Maybe setup push notifications but don’t let it become a blocker
• Send the app for review 🎉
• React to review feedback:
  • Hide Google Play store badges on iOS Remove app store buttons in native app trustroots#1139
  • A mechanism for users to block abusive users A mechanism for users to block abusive users trustroots#1467
  • Update rules Update rules trustroots#1468
• Re-send the app for review 🎉
• Send a newsletter to people who indicated they want to hear from us when the iOS app exists

question: what account should I create: individual, self-corporate or trustroots foundation?

• with an organization account I can add users.
• didn't spot price difference yet

[simison]

Foundation please, so that we can have multiple users and avoid need of transferring the app later on (that can be hard / impossible, I didn't check).

"This project needs an update

This project uses Expo SDK v22.0.0. If you want to open this project, the author will need to update the project's SDK version."

[simison]

Since we have pretty minimal setup, updating to v22 or above might work just fine. Give it a try. :-)

Expo has their clients for phones: https://expo.io/tools#client

...so in theory, just updating the SDK + running the CLI would give you something to test on a real device.

Testing on an emulator might be a little bit more work because you'd need to set all that up. I'm quite sure it's way easier than setting up an Android environment, though. :-D

todo now (@simison on slack)

(update: moved to issue description)

[simison]

I fixed issues in the master and submitted the app for review to Apple.

It bounced back with this change request:

your app includes Google Play references in the home page.

Referencing third-party platforms in your app or its metadata is not permitted on the App Store unless there is specific interactive functionality.

These app store badges don't make sense in mobile app context anyway so they should be all hidden when we're wrapping the app.

I've added ?app URL argument when the app loads the website in the webview component, so we can in that scenario hide these things.

Next steps:

• hide store buttons when wrapping in webview Remove app store buttons in native app trustroots#1139
• create Trustroots apple developer account (mikael)
• re-submit to apple for review (@simison @theo). I have the Apple dev account for Trustroots already.
• when accepted, update app store links to point to download page
• send email to people who asked to be notified when iOS app is out

@guaka if you let me know your apple ID, I can add you to the Trustroots team in Apple dev center.
