# CalendarrKit
|
|
|
|
Shared code between Calendarr (iOS / Mac Catalyst) and other apps from the same
|
|
developer team that want to **read** the user's calendar.
|
|
|
|
`CalendarrCore` depends on Foundation only — no SwiftUI, no UIKit, no AppKit — so
|
|
it compiles for iOS, Mac Catalyst and native macOS from one source. That
|
|
constraint is load-bearing: `swift build` against the native macOS SDK is what
|
|
catches a UIKit import before it reaches a consumer, because a Mac Catalyst build
|
|
would compile it happily.
|
|
|
|
## What a reading app gets
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
import CalendarrCore
|
|
|
|
let store = SnapshotStore() // uses CalendarrAppGroup.current
|
|
|
|
switch store.read() {
|
|
case .ok(let snap):
|
|
snap.events // [SnapshotEvent]
|
|
snap.theme // the colours Calendarr is currently rendering with
|
|
snap.writtenAt // "as of 14:32"
|
|
snap.coverageStart // see "Coverage" below
|
|
snap.coverageEnd
|
|
case .neverWritten: // Calendarr has never run here → "open Calendarr once"
|
|
case .loggedOut: // signed out → "sign in to Calendarr", discard old events
|
|
case .incompatible: // Calendarr is newer than this package → "update the app"
|
|
case .unreadable(let why): // almost always a wrong App Group; log `why`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
store.readCalendars() // [SnapshotCalendar] for a filter UI
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
React to changes without polling:
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
let token = SnapshotChangeNotifier.observe { /* hop to your actor, read again */ }
|
|
// keep `token` alive; releasing it removes the observer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also reload on window activation — the notification is a best-effort signal, and
|
|
missing one should leave you slightly stale, never wrong.
|
|
|
|
## Coverage — the part that bites
|
|
|
|
The snapshot is not the whole calendar. Outside `coverageStart..<coverageEnd` it
|
|
carries **no information**, which is not the same as "no events". Rendering an
|
|
empty March because it is outside the window produces a screen that looks correct
|
|
and is false. Use `snapshot.covers(date)` and grey out what you cannot speak for.
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Window | ~7 days back, ~42 days ahead, frozen at write time |
|
|
| Cap | 500 events, sorted by start |
|
|
| Filters | hidden and "banished" calendars are already excluded — you see the user's filtered view |
|
|
| Scope | personal only; group overlays are never published, deliberately |
|
|
| Dropped | notes, url, source, creator, privacy, read-only, reminders, recurrence |
|
|
|
|
What remains is enough to *display* a calendar and deliberately not enough to
|
|
edit one or reason about permissions.
|
|
|
|
## Setup for a consuming app
|
|
|
|
Same developer team (`PP34X97WS3`) is required — that is what makes the container
|
|
and the keychain group shared.
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key><true/>
|
|
<key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key>
|
|
<array><string>PP34X97WS3.group.com.scarriffleservices.calendarr</string></array>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Team ID prefix is mandatory on macOS and forbidden on iOS. `CalendarrAppGroup.current`
|
|
resolves the right one; it must match the entitlement byte for byte, or
|
|
`containerURL(…)` returns nil and every read silently yields nothing.
|
|
|
|
Never sign in from a consuming app. Credentials, 2FA and token storage belong to
|
|
Calendarr alone.
|
|
|
|
## Wire format rules
|
|
|
|
`widget-cache.json`, `widget-calendars.json` and `session.json` live in the group
|
|
container and are read by apps that ship on independent schedules.
|
|
|
|
1. Filenames do not change within a major version, so an older build keeps reading
|
|
after the writer updates.
|
|
2. Readers refuse `schemaVersion > maxSupportedSchema` instead of guessing.
|
|
3. Writers only ever *add* optional fields. Never rename, remove or retype one.
|
|
4. A breaking change means a new major version *and* a new filename, with the old
|
|
file still written for one full release cycle.
|
|
5. The package version is the contract: `CalendarrKit 1.x` ⇔ snapshot schema 2.
|
|
Depend on `.upToNextMajor(from: "1.0.0")`.
|
|
|
|
Rule 3 is why the six colour values sit flat at the top level instead of nested
|
|
under `theme`, which would read better: a v1 reader requires them flat, so nesting
|
|
would have broken every older build on the first v2 write. `theme` is a computed
|
|
view over them. `SnapshotSchemaTests` pins this down in both directions.
|
|
|
|
## Verify
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer swift build # native macOS — catches UIKit leaks
|
|
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer swift test
|
|
```
