The Turnstile challenge failed reliably inside the Capacitor WebView, which blocked login and registration from the Android app. Three separate causes: 1. Android WebView blocks third-party cookies by default. Turnstile runs in a cross-origin iframe from challenges.cloudflare.com and needs its own storage, so the widget never emitted a token. MainActivity now calls setAcceptThirdPartyCookies on the app's own WebView. 2. The register handler read the Turnstile response with an unscoped document.querySelector, which matched the *login* widget's input (it comes first in the DOM). Registration therefore submitted the login widget's token — single-use with a 5 minute expiry, so any prior login attempt or slow signup made it fail server-side. 3. The register and forgot-password widgets auto-rendered inside forms that start at display:none, where Turnstile does not reliably complete a challenge, and nothing re-rendered them when the form was shown. Widgets are now rendered explicitly when their form first becomes visible, and tokens are captured from the render callback instead of being read back out of the injected input — which makes the unscoped lookup in (2) structurally impossible. Added error/expired/timeout callbacks so a widget failure surfaces the Cloudflare error code instead of failing silently behind a generic toast. Login is no longer gated at all. It is the path mobile users hit constantly, and it is already covered by a 10-per-15-min per-IP rate limit, a constant-time credential check, and TOTP 2FA. Registration and password reset — the endpoints that actually attract bots — stay gated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

PedScribe Mobile App
Capacitor mobile wrapper for the hosted Ped-AI web app. The app defaults to https://app.pedshub.com, lets users choose a self-hosted server URL, and keeps clinical workflows API-backed through the same Express service as the browser app.
Features
- Hosted web workflow inside a native WebView; server updates reach mobile clients without app-store releases
- Configurable server URL (supports self-hosted instances)
- Haptic feedback on recording start/stop
- Keep screen awake during recording
- Deep linking (pedscribe:// and https://app.pedshub.com)
- Share intent (receive text/PDFs from other apps)
- Push notification support
- Biometric sign-in (Face ID / Touch ID / fingerprint) — credentials stored in iOS Keychain / Android Keystore, gated by OS biometric. Enrolled on first password sign-in (opt-in prompt). 2FA still applies on top — biometric replaces the password step only.
- Android and iOS project scaffolds for store builds
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- Android Studio (for Android builds):
sudo snap install android-studio --classic - Xcode 15+ (for iOS builds, macOS only)
- Apple Developer account ($99/yr for App Store)
- Google Play Developer account ($25 one-time)
Setup
cd mobile
npm install
npx cap sync
Build Android
# Open in Android Studio
npx cap open android
# Build menu: Build > Generate Signed Bundle / APK > APK
# Sign with your keystore (create one on first build)
# APK output: android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/
# Or build from command line:
cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease
Build iOS (macOS only)
# Open in Xcode
npx cap open ios
# In Xcode:
# 1. Select your team/signing certificate
# 2. Product > Archive
# 3. Distribute App > App Store Connect
How It Works
- App launches with a local launcher page
- First launch: user enters their PedScribe server URL (default: app.pedshub.com)
- URL is saved locally for future launches
- App navigates to the remote web app inside a native WebView
- Native plugins provide background recording, haptics, and push notifications
Background Recording
Android: AudioRecordingService is a foreground service that:
- Acquires a partial wake lock (CPU stays active, screen can sleep)
- Shows a persistent notification ("Recording in progress...")
- Includes a "Stop Recording" quick action in the notification
- Maximum 1-hour wake lock duration
iOS: Uses UIBackgroundModes: audio in Info.plist, which tells iOS to keep the app alive for audio capture when backgrounded or screen-locked.
Deep Linking
pedscribe://custom URL scheme opens the app directlyhttps://app.pedshub.comlinks open in the app instead of the browser (Android App Links)
Share Intent (Android)
Other apps can share text or PDFs directly into PedScribe:
- Share a lab result from your email into the Chart Review tab
- Share a referral note into the Hospital Course tab

Updating the Web App
The mobile app wraps the remote web app — updating the server automatically updates all mobile clients. No app store update needed for web changes.
To update native features (plugins, permissions, splash screen):
cd mobile
npm install
npx cap sync
# Then rebuild in Android Studio / Xcode
Generating App Icons
Replace the default Capacitor icons with PedScribe branding:
- Create a 1024x1024 PNG icon
- Install the assets tool:
npm install -D @capacitor/assets - Place your icon as
assets/icon-only.pngandassets/splash.png - Run:
npx capacitor-assets generate
This generates all required sizes for both platforms.
