Description
The list grows:
1. Platform & Toolchain Requirements
• Upgraded to macOS 15 Tahoe
• Required upgrade to Visual Studio 2026
• Required upgrade to Xcode 26.2
• Required upgrade to .NET 10 for iOS workloads
o .NET 8 iOS workloads incompatible with macOS 15 / Xcode 26.x
o MAUI 10 renderer regressions surfaced
o Android dependency issues surfaced
o Full regression test required across iOS + Android
2. CI/CD Pipeline Changes
• Microsoft Hosted Mac images updated to Xcode 26.2
• Pipeline needed updates to:
o Pin Xcode version explicitly
o Update .NET SDK to 10.x
o Update MAUI workloads
o Update signing / provisioning logic
o Update build steps for extensions
• Required full rebuild of iOS extension assets in CI
• Required regression testing of build outputs (IPA structure, nibs, assets)
3. Push Notification Architecture Changes
• FCM → APNS Migration (forced by platform changes)
• FCM components deprecated / disallowed on iOS 18+
• Required:
o Switching iOS app to relay APNS registration
o Tracking FCM vs APNS registrations
o Building new APNS delivery service
o Updating broadcaster to route messages based on registration source
o Updating Apple Developer configuration (keys, topics, entitlements)
4. Notification Extensions (iOS)
• Storyboard / UI Layer
o Old storyboard incompatible with new toolchain
o Rebuilt storyboard in Xcode 26.2
o Fixed:
Missing Initial View Controller flag
Updated outlet bindings
Updated view hierarchy
Updated constraints
Updated safe area usage
o Resolved nibless builds
o Validated extension loads correctly on device + simulator
• Build & Project Structure
o Removed legacy designer automation (no longer supported)
o Manually recreated partial class for outlets
o Cleaned up .csproj includes/excludes
o Ensured storyboard is included as a storyboard (not a raw resource)
o Ensured correct folder structure for extension assets
5. Visual / Functional Defects Introduced by Toolchain Upgrade
• MAUI 10 renderer regressions (iOS + Android)
• Layout shifts due to new AutoLayout engine
• Image loading differences
• Notification extension layout changes
• Required UI regression testing across devices
6. Operational / Architectural Follow‑Through
• Updated documentation for:
o Build environment
o CI/CD requirements
o APNS registration flow
o Extension rebuild process
o Storyboard maintenance guidelines
• Updated smoke tests for:
o Push delivery
o Extension rendering
o APNS token capture
o Registration routing
• Validated production observability (logs, telemetry, error traces)
