## Features

| Screen | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Calendar** | Monthly view with color dots per day (indigo = scheduled, green = published, red = error). Tap a day to see its posts. |
| **Posts** | Filtered list (All / Queue / Published / Draft / Error) with pull-to-refresh and swipe left to delete. |
| **Compose** | Text editor, channel picker, date/time picker, gallery image import + upload, publish now or schedule. |
| **Settings** | API key and base URL input, connection test, secure storage (SecureStore). |
| **Notifications** | Automatic local alerts when a post transitions to PUBLISHED or ERROR (polling every 15 minutes). |

**Theme**: forced dark (`userInterfaceStyle: dark`).  
**Authentication**: API key stored in `expo-secure-store`, never hardcoded.

---

## Prerequisites

| Tool | Minimum version |
|------|----------------|
| Node.js | 20 LTS |
| pnpm | 10+ |
| Expo Go (phone) | SDK 54 compatible |
| EAS account (for APK) | free on expo.dev |

```bash
npm install -g pnpm
npm install -g eas-cli
```

---

## Installation & Development

### 1. Clone the repository

```bash
git clone ssh://gitea@homegit.gyozamancave.fr:2222/billisdead/Postiz-android.git
cd Postiz-android
```

### 2. Install dependencies

```bash
pnpm install
```

### 3. Start the development server

```bash
pnpm --filter @workspace/postiz-mobile run dev
```

The terminal displays a QR code. Scan it with **Expo Go** (Android) or the **Camera** app (iOS) to see the app live.

### 4. Open in the browser (web preview)

```
http://localhost:<PORT>
```

The port is dynamically assigned by the Replit environment.

---

## App Configuration

On first launch, the **Settings** screen is shown because no key is configured yet.

1. **Base URL**: `https://your-postiz-instance.fr/public/v1`
2. **API Key**: generated from your Postiz instance → *Settings → API Keys*
3. Tap **Test Connection** to validate
4. Tap **Save Settings**

The key is encrypted and stored locally via `expo-secure-store`. It is never sent to a third-party service.

### Main dependencies

| Package | Usage |
|---------|-------|
| `expo-router` | File-based navigation |
| `axios` | HTTP client for the Postiz API |
| `expo-secure-store` | Encrypted API key storage |
| `react-native-calendars` | Monthly calendar view |
| `@react-native-community/datetimepicker` | Date/time picker in Compose |
| `expo-image-picker` | Gallery photo access |
| `expo-notifications` | Local status notifications |

| `@tanstack/react-query` | API data cache and refetch |

---

## Postiz API

Base URL configured by the user (e.g. `https://postiz.example.com/public/v1`).

| Method | Endpoint | Usage |
|--------|----------|-------|
| `GET` | `/integrations` | List channels (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) |
| `GET` | `/posts?startDate=&endDate=` | Posts over a date range |
| `POST` | `/posts` | Create / schedule a post |
| `DELETE` | `/posts/:id` | Delete a post |
| `POST` | `/upload` | Upload an image (multipart) |

### POST /posts payload example

```json
{
  "type": "schedule",
  "date": "2025-01-15T10:00:00.000Z",
  "content": [
    {
      "content": "Mon super post 🚀",
      "image": [{ "id": "upload-id", "path": "/uploads/photo.jpg" }]
    }
  ],
  "integrations": ["integration-id-twitter", "integration-id-linkedin"]
}
```

To publish immediately, use `"type": "now"`.

---

## Android APK Build (EAS)

> **Prerequisites**: free account on [expo.dev](https://expo.dev) and `eas-cli` installed.

### 1. Log in to EAS

```bash
npx eas login
```

### 2. Initialize EAS in the project

```bash
cd artifacts/postiz-mobile
npx eas init
```

This generates a `projectId` in `app.json`.

### 3. EAS configuration file

> **Already included in the repository**: `artifacts/postiz-mobile/eas.json` is present, you can skip this step.

To recreate it manually:

```json
{
  "cli": {
    "version": ">= 16.0.0"
  },
  "build": {
    "preview": {
      "android": {
        "buildType": "apk"
      }
    },
    "production": {
      "android": {
        "buildType": "app-bundle"
      }
    }
  },
  "submit": {
    "production": {}
  }
}
```

### 4. Start the APK build

```bash
# APK de test (sideload)
npx eas build --platform android --profile preview

# AAB pour le Play Store
npx eas build --platform android --profile production
```

The build runs in the EAS cloud (~10-15 min). At the end, EAS displays a **download link** and a **QR code** to retrieve the `.apk` file.

### 5. Install the APK on your phone

```bash
# Via adb
adb install postiz-mobile.apk

# Ou scannez le QR code affiché par EAS
```

### 6. Publish the APK as a Gitea Release

Once the `.apk` is downloaded from EAS, attach it to a Gitea release to make it available directly from the repository:

1. Go to `https://homegit.gyozamancave.fr/billisdead/Postiz-android/releases`
2. Click **New Release**
3. Choose a tag (e.g. `v1.0.0`) and a title
4. Drag and drop the `.apk` file into the attachments area
5. Click **Publish Release**

The APK will then be downloadable directly from the Gitea repository page.

### Declared Android permissions

```xml
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES     <!-- photos galerie -->
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
VIBRATE               <!-- notifications -->
```

---

## iOS Build (Expo Launch)

> Available only via **Replit Expo Launch** (automated App Store submission).

1. In Replit, click the **Publish** button
2. Select **Expo Launch**
3. Follow the wizard (Apple Developer account required)

**Note**: Google Play publishing is not yet supported by Expo Launch — use EAS for Android.

---

## Pushing Changes to Gitea

The remote repository is: `ssh://gitea@homegit.gyozamancave.fr:2222/billisdead/Postiz-android.git`

The SSH key used is stored in the `GITEA_SSH_KEY` environment variable (on the Replit side).

### Push from your local machine

```bash
# Ajouter le remote (une seule fois)
git remote add gitea ssh://gitea@homegit.gyozamancave.fr:2222/billisdead/Postiz-android.git

# Pousser
git push gitea main
```

Make sure your public SSH key is added in Gitea → *User Settings → SSH / GPG Keys*.

### Push from Replit (via script)

From Replit, direct `git push` commands are restricted. Use the bundle script:

```bash
# Créer le bundle
git bundle create /tmp/postiz.bundle main

# Cloner le bundle et pousser
git clone /tmp/postiz.bundle /tmp/repo_push
cd /tmp/repo_push
git remote add gitea ssh://gitea@homegit.gyozamancave.fr:2222/billisdead/Postiz-android.git
GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 2222" \
  git push --force gitea main
```

---

## Environment Variables & Secrets

| Variable | Storage | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `GITEA_SSH_KEY` | Replit Secrets (shared) | Private SSH key for pushing to Gitea |
| `SESSION_SECRET` | Replit Secrets | Session secret (API server) |

App-side variables (Postiz API key, URL) are **entered by the user** in the Settings screen and stored in `expo-secure-store` — they never pass through the source code.

---

## Troubleshooting

### The app shows "Not Configured" on all screens

→ Go to the **Settings** tab, enter your API key and URL, then tap **Test Connection**.

### "Connection failed" in Settings

- Check that the URL ends with `/public/v1`
- Check that the API key is valid (generated in Postiz → API Keys)
- Check that your Postiz instance is accessible from the internet

### No notifications received

- Accept notification permissions on first launch
- Polling runs every 15 minutes — wait for a full cycle
- On Android, check that the app's notifications are not disabled in system settings

### Metro error "module not found"

```bash
pnpm install
# Puis redémarrer le workflow Expo
```

### Calendar does not load posts

- Check that the Postiz API supports `startDate` / `endDate` parameters on `GET /posts`
- Check network logs: in Expo Go, shake the device → *Open Debugger*

### EAS build fails

```bash
# Vérifier la version Expo
npx expo --version

# Vérifier la cohérence des packages
npx expo install --check
```
