# Master Public Release Gate 10 - Mobile App Readiness

Date: 2026-06-16

Gate 10 status: **Approved for the next gate.**

## Objective

Make FieldOps Cloud's Android/iOS readiness truthful and testable without pretending that signed native apps or app-store submissions have been completed.

This gate verifies that the mobile/PWA/offline foundation is present, that the Capacitor native wrapper contract is configured, and that app-store blockers are visible to platform admins and release owners.

## Implemented

- Added `MobileAppReadinessService` to inspect PWA, service worker, offline technician, Capacitor, native-wrapper, signing, metadata, privacy, and physical-device evidence.
- Extended `MobileOfflineStatusService` so `/platform-admin/mobile-offline` includes a native app release gate summary.
- Added `tools/mobile-readiness.php` and Composer script `mobile-readiness`.
- Added `docs/MOBILE_APP_READINESS_REPORT.md` as generated Gate 10 evidence.
- Added mobile evidence variables to `.env.example`.
- Added `docs/MOBILE_APP_STORE_READINESS.md` with Android/iOS owner evidence, signing, metadata, physical-device QA, and release-blocker rules.
- Added regression coverage in `tests/run.php`.

## Gate 10 Result

| Area | Result | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PWA manifest | Pass | Standalone manifest, icons, and shortcuts present |
| Service worker/offline fallback | Pass | Offline fallback and `/mobile/offline` cached |
| Offline technician workflow | Pass | Route, local queue UI, browser storage, and sync API are present |
| Capacitor package/config | Pass | Dependencies, scripts, web shell, native paths, HTTPS-only policy, and FieldOps domain allowlist present |
| Android native project | Blocked | Native project generation requires Node install, Android Studio, production URL, and signing confirmation |
| iOS native project | Blocked | Native project generation requires Node install, Xcode, production URL, and signing confirmation |
| Signing/store/physical-device evidence | Blocked | Owner-provided evidence variables are intentionally empty |

Latest generated report:

- Passed checks: 7
- Warnings: 0
- Owner/external blockers: 7
- Failures: 0
- Store submission ready: No

## Verification

| `php -l templates\saas\mobile-offline.php` | Pass |
| `php tools\mobile-readiness.php` | Pass, 7 pass / 0 warnings / 7 blockers / 0 failures |
| `php tests\run.php` | Pass |
| Workspace `composer mobile-readiness` | Pass, 7 pass / 0 warnings / 7 blockers / 0 failures |
| Workspace `composer check` | Pass, 117 routes / 211 links / 65 form actions / 92 buttons / 0 findings |
| XAMPP `composer mobile-readiness` | Pass, 7 pass / 0 warnings / 7 blockers / 0 failures |
| XAMPP `composer check` | Pass, 117 routes / 211 links / 65 form actions / 92 buttons / 0 findings |
| XAMPP `tools/browser-smoke.cjs` | Pass, failure count 0 |

## Approval

Approved for the next gate because local mobile/PWA readiness is now machine-verifiable and app-store blockers are explicit. This approval does **not** approve Google Play or Apple App Store submission.

## Remaining After Gate 10

- Generate native Android and iOS projects after Node dependencies, Android Studio, Xcode, and final production URL are confirmed.
- Configure signing outside the repository; never commit keystores, certificates, provisioning profiles, passwords, or API keys.
- Complete store metadata, screenshots, privacy manifest/app privacy disclosures, support URL, terms URL, privacy URL, and account deletion URL.
- Run physical Android and iOS device QA for login, tenant switching, offline technician queue, sync recovery, core workflows, support, privacy, terms, and account deletion request.
- Live provider activation, live payment capture, hosted deployment evidence, hosted-scale load, and real CI evidence remain open. Local MySQL profiling is covered by Gate 17.
