April 2026 monthly recap for openhab-ios: - Focused on stabilizing the sitemap/navigation surface and cleaning up the testing workflow to accelerate iteration and release readiness. Key features delivered: - Testing Infrastructure Cleanup: Simplified test scheme discovery configuration in Xcode, removing redundant testable references from scheme files to streamline test execution and reduce maintenance overhead. Major bugs fixed: - Sitemap and Navigation Stability Fixes: Reverted a set of changes that had destabilized sitemap UI behavior (including lazy navigation changes, widget reconciliation, and the shared view model integration). The revocations restored reliable sitemap updates, improved long-poll scrolling performance, and stabilized navigation. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Restored reliability of core navigation and sitemap features, leading to more predictable user experience and fewer navigation-related regressions. - Reduced testing friction and configuration drift, enabling faster feedback loops and more stable releases. - Demonstrated disciplined maintenance approach by using targeted reverts to minimize risk while restoring intended behavior. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - SwiftUI and shared view model integration considerations for sitemap rendering - Xcode scheme management and test discovery optimization - Long-polling performance awareness and UI stability strategies - Version control discipline (careful reverts to stabilize the codebase)

February 2026 — OpenHAB iOS (openhab/openhab-ios) focused on stability, maintainability, and feature parity across the CI/build, release tooling, and core codebase. Delivered centralized versioning and streamlined release tooling, stabilized project builds, and implemented targeted feature cleanups and bug fixes that reduce release risk and improve developer productivity. Key outcomes include a centralized Version.xcconfig with versioning, updated Fastlane workflow to remove missing get/update_xcconfig_value plugin in favor of direct Ruby-based xcconfig reads/writes, and improved increment_build behavior. Implemented backport of OpenAPI Generator SwiftUI changes to develop to narrow the feature gap versus main. Aligned SwiftLint configuration, performed code cleanup, and applied SwiftLint fixes to improve code consistency. Resolved OpenHABWatch Release build failures related to Preview type-checking, added non-DEBUG PreviewConstants, and addressed watchOS Preview init merge conflict. Stabilized Xcode 26.2 project handling with pre-applied normalisations, pbxproj restoration/indentation fixes, and ongoing PBX integrity work (PBXFileSystemSynchronizedRootGroup correction and orphan BuildFile cleanup). Improved image widget cache invalidation on state changes to ensure visuals stay in sync with item state. Overall impact: reduced release risk, faster, more repeatable builds, and clearer, auditable versioning and CI workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Swift, Ruby scripting for xcconfig management, Fastlane (with direct xcconfig access), regex-based file edits, SwiftLint, Xcode project pbxproj normalization, and robust caching logic for UI widgets.

October 2025 (openhab-ios): Strengthened deployment reliability and CI efficiency. Implemented defensive fixes to the bump type handling in Fastlane to prevent crashes in scheduled deployments and default to patch when bump_type is empty. Consolidated CI by skipping SwiftLint/SwiftFormat in GitHub Actions, reducing build noise and avoiding conflicts. These changes streamline release processes and improve stability for end users through more predictable deployments and faster feedback loops.
