- Add NODE_NO_WARNINGS=1 to all eas.json build profiles (development, preview, production) to suppress [DEP0169] url.parse() deprecation warnings emitted by EAS CLI when the build image's system Node is 22+ - Add NODE_NO_WARNINGS=1 env to both EAS Cloud Workflow jobs (.eas/workflows/create-builds.yml) with explanatory comments - Fix outdated Node.js prerequisite in docs/MobileApp.md (was "18 or later", now "20.19.4 or later" with nvm guidance) - Add troubleshooting sections in docs/MobileApp.md and mobile/README.md covering both the "Session expired Local session" error (Apple ID session expiry + App Store Connect API key recommendation) and the [DEP0169] Node.js deprecation warning Co-authored-by: christianlouis <361235+christianlouis@users.noreply.github.com>

# DocuElevate Mobile App
|
||
|
||
Native mobile application for DocuElevate, built with **React Native** and **Expo** for iOS, Android, and Web.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- 🔐 **SSO Login** – authenticate via your DocuElevate server's OAuth2/SSO provider; an API token is auto-generated and stored securely in the device keychain
|
||
- 📷 **Camera Capture** – scan documents directly with the device camera
|
||
- 📄 **File Picker** – upload PDFs, images, and Office documents from the device's Files app
|
||
- 🔗 **Share Extension** – send files from any app directly to DocuElevate via the iOS/Android share sheet
|
||
- 🔔 **Push Notifications** – receive real-time push notifications when documents finish processing (via Expo push notifications)
|
||
- 📂 **Document List** – browse and search your processed documents
|
||
- 👤 **Profile** – view account details and sign out
|
||
- 🌐 **Web** – run directly in the browser via Expo web (Metro bundler)
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
- Node.js 20.19.4+ (use [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm): `nvm use` in this directory)
|
||
- Expo CLI (`npm install -g @expo/cli`)
|
||
- Expo Go app on device (for development) **or** Expo Application Services (EAS) for production builds
|
||
- An Expo account: <https://expo.dev/>
|
||
|
||
## Setup
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# 1. Install dependencies
|
||
cd mobile
|
||
npm install
|
||
|
||
# 2. Start the development server (choose a platform)
|
||
npx expo start # interactive menu (iOS / Android / Web)
|
||
npx expo start --ios # open directly in iOS Simulator
|
||
npx expo start --android # open in Android Emulator
|
||
npx expo start --web # open in the browser
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Scan the QR code with **Expo Go** on your iOS or Android device, or press `w` in the interactive menu to open the web build.
|
||
|
||
## Building
|
||
|
||
DocuElevate uses **EAS Build** for production binaries.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Install EAS CLI
|
||
npm install -g eas-cli
|
||
|
||
# Log in to Expo
|
||
eas login
|
||
|
||
# Build for iOS
|
||
eas build --platform ios
|
||
|
||
# Build for Android
|
||
eas build --platform android
|
||
|
||
# Build for both
|
||
eas build --platform all
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> **Note:** The EAS project ID is already configured in `app.json` (`extra.eas.projectId`). You only need to run `eas init` if you are setting up a fork or a brand-new EAS project — in that case, replace the `extra.eas.projectId` value in `app.json` with the ID printed by `eas init`.
|
||
|
||
### iOS-specific
|
||
|
||
- An Apple Developer account is required for TestFlight and App Store distribution
|
||
- Update `eas.json` → `submit.production.ios` with:
|
||
- `appleId`: your Apple ID email address
|
||
- `ascAppId`: App Store Connect → App Information → Apple ID
|
||
- `appleTeamId`: Apple Developer portal → Membership → Team ID
|
||
- Camera, photo library, and push notification usage descriptions are configured in `app.json`
|
||
|
||
### Android-specific
|
||
|
||
- **Android push notifications** require a `google-services.json` file from Firebase Console. This file is intentionally excluded from the repository (`.gitignore`). To enable FCM push notifications in your Android builds:
|
||
1. Create a Firebase project at <https://console.firebase.google.com/>
|
||
2. Add an Android app with the package name `org.docuelevate.mobile`
|
||
3. Download `google-services.json` and place it in the `mobile/` directory
|
||
4. Add `"googleServicesFile": "./google-services.json"` back to the `android` section of `app.json` before building
|
||
- The app runs and bundles correctly without `google-services.json`; only Android push notifications will be unavailable
|
||
- For Play Store submission: create a service account in Google Play Console, download the JSON key as `google-play-service-account.json`, and update `eas.json`
|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
|
||
No code changes are needed to point the app at a different server. The server URL is entered by the user on the login screen and stored in the device's secure store.
|
||
|
||
## Authentication Flow
|
||
|
||
1. User enters the DocuElevate server URL on the login screen
|
||
2. The app opens the server's `/login?mobile=1&redirect_uri=docuelevate://callback` URL in the system browser
|
||
3. The user authenticates (SSO / local login)
|
||
4. The server redirects back to `docuelevate://callback`
|
||
5. The app exchanges the browser session for a permanent API token via `POST /api/mobile/generate-token`
|
||
6. The token is stored in the device's secure keychain (`expo-secure-store`)
|
||
|
||
## Push Notifications
|
||
|
||
The app uses **Expo Push Notifications** which route through Expo's servers to APNs (iOS) and FCM (Android) – no server-side APNs/FCM credentials are needed.
|
||
|
||
The Expo push token is sent to the backend after login via `POST /api/mobile/register-device` and the server uses it to deliver notifications when documents are processed.

```
|
||
|
||
## Share Extension (iOS)
|
||
|
||
The app registers the `docuelevate://` URL scheme and the `com.docuelevate.app` bundle identifier. To enable the share sheet:
|
||
|
||
1. Ensure the app is installed on the device
|
||
2. Open any file in Files, Mail, Safari, etc.
|
||
3. Tap the share icon → find **DocuElevate** in the share sheet
|
||
4. The file is uploaded immediately
|
||
|
||
Android uses a similar intent filter configured in `app.json`.
|
||
|
||
## Backend API
|
||
|
||
The mobile app uses the following backend endpoints:
|
||
|
||
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|
||
|----------|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|
||
| `POST` | `/api/mobile/generate-token` | Exchange SSO session for API token |
|
||
| `POST` | `/api/mobile/register-device` | Register Expo push token |
|
||
| `GET` | `/api/mobile/devices` | List registered devices |
|
||
| `DELETE` | `/api/mobile/devices/{id}` | Deactivate device registration |
|
||
| `GET` | `/api/mobile/whoami` | Get current user profile |
|
||
| `POST` | `/api/ui-upload` | Upload file for processing |
|
||
| `GET` | `/api/files` | List processed documents |
|
||
|
||
Authentication uses `Authorization: Bearer <api_token>` on all requests.
|
||
|
||
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
### `Session expired Local session` when running `eas build`
|
||
|
||
EAS CLI stores an Apple ID session locally to manage provisioning profiles and code-signing certificates. This session expires after several weeks.
|
||
|
||
**Quick fix (local):** Re-authenticate by running:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
eas credentials
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Select iOS → re-enter your Apple ID credentials when prompted.
|
||
|
||
**Recommended (CI / automation):** Switch to an [App Store Connect API Key](https://docs.expo.dev/app-signing/app-credentials/#app-store-connect-api-key) which does not expire automatically and works non-interactively:
|
||
|
||
1. Go to [appstoreconnect.apple.com → Users → Integrations → Keys](https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/integrations/api) and create a key with *Developer* or *App Manager* role.
|
||
2. Download the `.p8` file; note the **Key ID** and **Issuer ID**.
|
||
3. Run `eas credentials` → iOS → *Add an App Store Connect API key* and upload the `.p8` file.
|
||
|
||
Once an API key is stored in EAS, all future builds (local and CI) will use it automatically without requiring an Apple ID session.
|
||
|
||
### `[DEP0169] DeprecationWarning: url.parse()` during build
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
(node:XXXXX) [DEP0169] DeprecationWarning: `url.parse()` behavior is not standardized…
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This is emitted by EAS CLI itself when it runs on **Node.js 22 or later**, which deprecates `url.parse()`. It is a warning only and does not cause build failures on its own. The `eas.json` build profiles already suppress it via `"NODE_NO_WARNINGS": "1"` in their `env` sections.
|
||
|
||
To suppress the warning locally, either:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Option A: Run with the warning suppressed
|
||
NODE_NO_WARNINGS=1 eas build --platform ios
|
||
|
||
# Option B: Switch to the pinned Node version (no warning on Node 20)
|
||
nvm use # reads .nvmrc → Node 20.19.4
|
||
eas build --platform ios
|
||
```
