copilot-swe-agent[bot] b4b50e8340 fix(mobile): update Node.js minimum requirement to 20.19.4
metro-config@0.83.3 uses Array.prototype.toReversed() which was added
in Node.js 20.0.0. The README incorrectly stated "Node.js 18+" causing
users to run `npx expo start` with Node 18 and hit:
  TypeError: configs.toReversed is not a function

- Update README.md to say "Node.js 20.19.4+" with nvm hint
- Update package.json engines from >=20.16.0 to >=20.19.4 to match
  metro-config's exact minimum (as declared in package-lock.json)

# DocuElevate Mobile App
Native mobile application for DocuElevate, built with **React Native** and **Expo** for both iOS (primary) and Android.
## 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
## 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
npx expo start
```
Scan the QR code with **Expo Go** on your iOS or Android device.
## 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
- Add a `google-services.json` file (from Firebase Console) to the `mobile/` directory for push notification support
- 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.
