Silo Apple

Native Apple clients for the Silo self-hosted media server.

This repo builds iOS, tvOS, and the early macOS target. It preserves the existing Apple bundle IDs, keychain groups, and signing IDs for TestFlight and install continuity, but user-facing names, docs, and server references now use Silo.

TestFlight

Layout

• iosApp/iosApp/ - shared SwiftUI app code for iOS, tvOS, and macOS
• iosApp/TopShelf/ - tvOS Top Shelf extension
• iosApp/Tests/ - XCTest targets
• iosApp/Resources/ - shared Apple resources
• iosApp/Signing/ - checked-in signing defaults plus local override sample
• iosApp/project.yml - XcodeGen project source of truth
• fastlane/ - iOS/tvOS release automation
• docs/tvos-player/ - Apple TV playback notes

Prerequisites

• Xcode 16+
• xcodegen
• Ruby 3.2 with Bundler for release automation
• A running Silo server for local auth, browsing, and playback validation

Build

Generate the Xcode project from the checked-in XcodeGen spec:

cd iosApp
xcodegen generate
open Silo.xcodeproj

Build without local signing:

cd iosApp
xcodebuild build \
  -project Silo.xcodeproj \
  -scheme Silo \
  -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17 Pro' \
  CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY='' CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO

xcodebuild build \
  -project Silo.xcodeproj \
  -scheme SiloTV \
  -destination 'platform=tvOS Simulator,name=Apple TV 4K (3rd generation)' \
  CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY='' CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO

xcodebuild build \
  -project Silo.xcodeproj \
  -scheme SiloMac \
  -destination 'platform=macOS' \
  CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY='' CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO

Signing

Local signing overrides are intentionally ignored.

1. Copy iosApp/Signing/Local.xcconfig.sample to iosApp/Signing/Local.xcconfig.
2. Override bundle identifiers, entitlements, or development team values as needed.
3. Run xcodegen generate from iosApp/.

Personal Apple Developer teams cannot join the production App Group, so Top Shelf rows stay empty under that setup.

Release Flow

Fastlane lanes are defined in fastlane/Fastfile. All Apple IDs, team IDs, signing repo URLs, and App Store Connect credentials must come from CI environment variables.
