The WebView has its own permission layer separate from Android runtime
permissions. Both must be granted. Now when the web page requests mic
access, the WebChromeClient checks if Android permission exists, grants
the WebView request if yes, or requests Android permission first then
grants the pending WebView request in the callback.
- MainActivity: request RECORD_AUDIO permission at app start via
ActivityCompat (not WebChromeClient override which broke Capacitor bridge)
- Simplify launcher: remove server reachability check (was failing in
WebView), just save URL and navigate directly
- Remove biometric auth from launcher (Capacitor plugins need ES module
bundler, not available in plain HTML). Biometric can be added later
via the web app with proper Capacitor runtime.
- Add webContentsDebuggingEnabled for development
- MainActivity: override WebChromeClient to auto-grant WebView
permission requests (microphone, camera) so the Android runtime
permission dialog shows instead of WebView silently denying
- Add colors.xml with PedScribe blue (#2563eb / #1d4ed8)
- Update styles.xml: set statusBarColor and navigationBarColor to
match app theme (fixes brown/mismatched bar at top)
- Change base theme to NoActionBar (removes action bar)
WebView blocks no-cors fetch and image probes differently than browsers.
Simplified to a normal fetch that treats CORS errors as 'server reachable'
(CORS error = server responded, just blocked the origin).
- Fix AudioRecordingService ACTION_STOP to use com.pedshub.scribe
- Fix deprecated stopForeground(true) to STOP_FOREGROUND_REMOVE
- Fix launcher.js testServer: prevent double callback, fix onerror
always reporting success (now correctly fails on unreachable servers)
- Update service comment from TWA to Capacitor
New mobile/ directory with Capacitor project:
- Configurable server URL launcher (default: app.pedshub.com)
- Android: foreground service + wake lock for background recording
(AudioRecordingService preserved from existing TWA)
- iOS: background audio mode + microphone permission
- App ID: com.pedshub.scribe
- Both platforms initialized and synced
Existing android/ TWA project untouched — this is a separate project.
Build: cd mobile && npx cap open android (or ios)
