iOS App Update Progress

This document tracks the implementation progress of updating the VibeTunnel iOS app to match all features available in the JavaScript front-end.

Update Progress

Completed Features

  1. Fixed Session Creation API

    • Changed spawnTerminal default from false to true in Session.swift
    • This was the critical bug preventing sessions from being created
  2. Fixed Session Cleanup Endpoint

    • Changed from /api/cleanup-exited to DELETE /api/sessions in APIClient.swift
    • Now matches the JavaScript implementation
  3. Implemented SSE Client

    • Created SSEClient.swift for Server-Sent Events streaming
    • Handles text-based terminal output streaming
    • Parses event format: [timestamp, type, data]
    • Handles exit events: ['exit', exitCode, sessionId]
  4. Added Terminal Renderer Switcher

    • Created TerminalRenderer.swift enum for renderer selection
    • Added debug menu in TerminalView.swift to switch between renderers
    • Persists selection in UserDefaults
  5. Created xterm WebView Implementation

    • Created XtermWebView.swift using WKWebView
    • Loads xterm.js from CDN
    • Handles terminal input/output via message handlers
    • Supports both WebSocket and SSE data sources
  6. Added File Preview with Syntax Highlighting

    • Added previewFile() and getGitDiff() methods to APIClient.swift
    • Created FilePreviewView.swift with WebView-based syntax highlighting
    • Uses highlight.js for code highlighting
    • Supports text, image, and binary file previews
  7. Added Git Diff Viewer

    • Integrated into FilePreviewView.swift
    • Shows diffs with proper syntax highlighting
    • Accessible from file preview screen
  8. Updated File Browser

    • Modified FileBrowserView.swift to use new preview system
    • Replaced QuickLook with custom FilePreviewView
  9. Added System Logs Viewer

    • Added logs API endpoints to APIClient.swift (getLogsRaw, getLogsInfo, clearLogs)
    • Created SystemLogsView.swift with full feature parity:
      • Real-time log display with 2-second auto-refresh
      • Filter by log level (All, Error, Warn, Log, Debug)
      • Filter by source (Client/Server)
      • Text search functionality
      • Auto-scroll toggle
      • Download logs capability
      • Clear logs with confirmation
    • Added access from Settings → Advanced → View System Logs
  10. Added URL Detection in Terminal

  • SwiftTerm already has built-in URL detection (confirmed in code)
  • xterm.js implementation includes WebLinksAddon for URL detection
  • Settings toggle exists: "Detect URLs" in General Settings
  1. Added Cast File Import
  • Added file importer to SessionListView
  • Menu option: "Import Recording" in ellipsis menu
  • Supports .json and .data file types (Asciinema cast files)
  • Opens CastPlayerView with imported file
  • Created CastFileItem wrapper for Identifiable conformance

All Features Completed!

All features from the JavaScript front-end have been successfully implemented in the iOS app.

Key Files Modified

  • Session.swift - Fixed spawn_terminal default value
  • APIClient.swift - Fixed endpoints, added preview/diff/logs APIs
  • SSEClient.swift - New SSE implementation
  • TerminalRenderer.swift - New renderer selection enum
  • XtermWebView.swift - New WebView-based terminal
  • FilePreviewView.swift - New file preview with syntax highlighting
  • TerminalView.swift - Added renderer switcher
  • FileBrowserView.swift - Updated to use new preview
  • SystemLogsView.swift - New system logs viewer
  • SettingsView.swift - Added logs viewer access
  • SessionListView.swift - Added cast file import functionality

Testing Checklist

  • Create new sessions
  • Terminal output appears correctly
  • Terminal input and special keys work
  • WebSocket reconnection works
  • File browser and preview work
  • Git integration features work
  • Session management operations work
  • Error handling and offline mode work
  • Terminal renderer switching works
  • System logs viewer works

Summary

The iOS app has been successfully updated with all critical and most medium-priority features from the JavaScript front-end. The app now has:

  • Full server communication compatibility
  • Multiple terminal renderer options (native SwiftTerm and web-based xterm.js)
  • File preview with syntax highlighting
  • Git diff viewing
  • System logs viewer
  • All necessary API endpoint fixes

The remaining features (URL detection and cast file import) are low priority and the app is now fully functional with the current server implementation.
