Make sure you have these installed before starting:

• Node.js v18+ — nodejs.org
• Xcode 15+ (Mac App Store, free) — for iOS builds
• Android Studio (free) — for Android builds
• Capacitor CLI — installed in Step 2

Create a new folder for the project and initialise it:

mkdir getptpro-app && cd getptpro-app
npm init -y
npm install @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli @capacitor/ios @capacitor/android
npx cap init "PT Pro" "app.getptpro.com" --web-dir=www

Create a www folder and copy your app files in:

mkdir www
# Copy pt-app.html → www/index.html
# Copy any other assets

Add the iOS and Android platforms:

npx cap add ios
npx cap add android

{
  "appId": "app.getptpro.com",
  "appName": "PT Pro",
  "webDir": "www",
  "bundledWebRuntime": false,
  "server": {
    "url": "https://getptpro.com",
    "cleartext": false
  },
  "ios": {
    "contentInset": "automatic",
    "backgroundColor": "#0A0A0C",
    "statusBar": {
      "style": "DARK",
      "backgroundColor": "#0A0A0C"
    }
  },
  "android": {
    "backgroundColor": "#0A0A0C"
  }
}

Tip: Setting server.url to your live URL means the app always loads the latest version — no App Store update needed for content changes.

npx cap sync
npx cap open ios      # Opens Xcode
npx cap open android  # Opens Android Studio

In Xcode:

1. Select your target device (iPhone 15 simulator to start)
2. Press ▶ to build and run
3. Test every screen — booking flow, login, role select

In Android Studio:

1. Click the green ▶ Run button
2. Choose an emulator (Pixel 7, Android 14)
3. Test thoroughly

Create your icon as a 1024×1024 PNG (lime #D4FF47 background, black PT PRO text in Bebas Neue). Then use the Capacitor Assets tool to auto-generate all required sizes:

npm install @capacitor/assets
npx capacitor-assets generate --ios --android \
  --iconBackgroundColor "#0A0A0C" \
  --splashBackgroundColor "#0A0A0C"

Place your source files at:

• assets/icon.png — 1024×1024, no rounded corners (Apple adds them)
• assets/splash.png — 2048×2048, centered logo on dark background

Because PT Pro loads content from https://getptpro.com, most updates (new features, UI changes, content) don't require an App Store update — they go live instantly when you deploy to Vercel.

You only need to submit a new App Store build when you:

• Change native plugins or Capacitor version
• Update app icon or splash screen
• Change the app's permissions (camera, push notifications etc.)
• Update the minimum iOS/Android version

To push a native update:

npx cap sync          # Sync web changes
npx cap open ios      # Open Xcode
# Increment version in Xcode → General → Version
# Archive and upload to App Store Connect
