Customer App

Build iOS

Building for iOS requires a Mac with Xcode and a paid Apple Developer account. See the Apple Developer & Signing guide for account setup.

1. Open the project

cd customer_app
flutter pub get
cd ios && pod install && cd ..
open ios/Runner.xcworkspace

2. Signing & capabilities

In Xcode → Runner target → Signing & Capabilities:

• Set your Team and Bundle Identifier (e.g. com.yourcompany.shop).
• Add capabilities: Push Notifications, Background Modes → Remote notifications, and Sign in with Apple.
• Let Xcode manage signing (Automatic) for the simplest path.

3. Add your keys

• Place your GoogleService-Info.plist in ios/Runner/ (replace the placeholder).
• Set your iOS Maps key in AppDelegate.swift (see API URL & Maps).
• Set your Facebook values + reversed Google client id in Info.plist (see Firebase & Login).

4. Tighten transport security

For development the app allows plain-HTTP (a LAN dev server). Before release, edit ios/Runner/Info.plist and remove/limit NSAllowsArbitraryLoads so the app only talks to your HTTPS API.

5. Build & archive

flutter build ipa --release --dart-define=APP_ENV=prod

Or archive from Xcode: select Any iOS Device → Product → Archive → Distribute App → App Store Connect / TestFlight. You can also upload the generated .ipa with Transporter.

6. Submit

1. App Store Connect → create the app record (same bundle id).
2. Upload the build, fill the listing, add screenshots and a privacy policy.
3. Submit for review.
