(Migrated from github.com)

Native iOS version of Mesh+ in ios/ (SwiftUI, iOS 17+, iPhone only, no dependencies), ported from the Android app. TestFlight already has 0.4.4 (7), uploaded with ios/release.sh to validate it; App Store app 6823711977.

What's in it

Bluetooth connection to Meshtastic nodes through the same ToRadio/FromRadio/FromNum API. iOS asks for the node's PIN on the first connection, and the app reconnects by itself when the node comes back in range.
Region and name setup; rooms (create, invite by QR or link, join by scanning or pasting the same meshtastic.org/e/# links as Android); DMs; nodes with profiles; node settings with the same explanations; several radios; the demo node.
Runs in the background (bluetooth-central) and posts notifications for new messages.
Not on iPhone: SMS relay, USB and firmware updates. Node settings points to flasher.meshtastic.org.

App Review (guideline 1.2, chats)

A community rules screen with an Agree button comes before any chatting, the demo included. It links to meshplus.app/terms.html.
Long-press a message for Copy, Report and Block. Report opens a prefilled email to support@borodutch.com with the message, the sender's id and the time, and offers to block the sender. Block hides that node's messages, DMs and notifications on the phone; Settings → Blocked nodes lists them for unblocking. Profiles in Nodes have Block too.

Build and release

ios/release.sh <version> <build> [key-id issuer-id key.p8] archives the app unsigned, signs it ad hoc with ios/adhoc.entitlements, exports with App Store Connect cloud signing (ios/ExportOptions.plist) and uploads it with altool. It needs no signing identity, so it runs on a stock macOS runner.
ios/screenshots.sh saves the 6.9" App Store screenshots to ios/appstore/screenshots.
The new .github/workflows/ios.yml runs the unit tests and demo UI tests for ios/** changes only. release.yml and AGENTS.md are unchanged. No binaries for F-Droid's scanner (Python caches are ignored).

Checks

Unit tests: a Swift port of ProtoTest, plus malformed-input and invite round-trip cases.
UI tests on the demo node: the terms screen first, chatting with a reply, report, block from a message and from a profile, unblock in Settings. They pass locally on an iPhone 18 Pro Max simulator (iOS 27, light and dark) and on macos-26 in CI.
