📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The app now manages badge permission through AppBadgeManager and useAppBadge. Badge preferences persist in the preferences store. Advanced settings expose the toggle only on supported iOS devices.

Changes

App badge flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preference persistence
src/lib/preferencesStore.ts, src/__tests__/unit/lib/preferencesStore.test.ts
The store adds an enabled-by-default appBadgeEnabled preference, its setter, persistence, and hydration coverage.
Permission lifecycle
src/hooks/useAppBadge.ts, src/__tests__/unit/hooks/useAppBadge.test.ts
Badge synchronization checks permission without requesting it automatically. The hook manages rationale, denial help, opt-out, badge clearing, permission requests, and preference updates.
Permission UI integration
src/components/AppBadgeManager.tsx, src/App.tsx, src/__tests__/unit/components/AppBadgeManager.test.tsx, src/__tests__/unit/App.firebase-auth.test.tsx, src/__tests__/unit/App.integration.test.tsx
AppBadgeManager renders rationale and denied-permission modals. App renders the manager, and related tests mock it.
Native settings and localization
src/routes/settings.advanced.tsx, src/__tests__/unit/routes/settings.advanced.test.tsx, src/translations/en-US.json, src/translations/fr-FR.json, src/translations/zh-CN.json
Advanced settings render the badge toggle on supported iOS devices. Tests cover iOS and Android behavior. English badge strings and two punctuation updates were added.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 63b0c

The PR adds persistent badge-permission controls, but dismissal behavior can unintentionally disable badges and the Advanced Settings toggle may show stale state or lose an early user change before preferences load. These bounded correctness issues should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Dismissing the rationale modal persists an opt-out.

close is declinePermissionRationale, and that callback calls setAppBadgeEnabled(false). SlideModal also invokes close for the overlay click, the swipe-down gesture, the Escape key, and the Android back button. A user who dismisses the modal by accident disables the badge feature and must re-enable it in Advanced Settings.

Consider a separate dismiss handler that only hides the modal and sets rationaleHandledRef, and keep the persisted opt-out on the explicit "No thanks" action.

In `@src/hooks/useAppBadge.ts`:
- Around line 25-31: Update the useEffect transition handling in useAppBadge so
the app-badge enable transition is latched in a ref rather than only derived
from previousEnabledRef. Set the latch when badges transition from disabled to
enabled, have the queued sync consume and clear it only after processing the
transition, and preserve it across cancelled effect runs so later executions
still show rationale or denied-permission help.

In `@src/routes/settings.advanced.tsx`:
- Around line 45-46: Update the settings component around appBadgeEnabled to
select _hasHydrated from usePreferencesStore and prevent the persisted toggle
from being interactive before hydration, preferably by passing
loading={!hasPreferencesHydrated} to ToggleSwitch; apply the same protection to
the related row. Update the advanced-settings test setup to set the hydrated
flag before asserting rendered behavior.
- Around line 159-173: Update the app-icon badge row around
isNativePluginAvailable("Badge") to handle Android explicitly: either restrict
the row to iOS, or check Badge.isSupported() on Android and provide
Android-specific help text reflecting its permission-free behavior and possible
unsupported launcher behavior.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Wait for _hasHydrated before rendering this persisted toggle.

appBadgeEnabled is persisted in usePreferencesStore, but the new row renders before the store hydration state is checked. A saved false value can be displayed as the default true, and an interaction before hydration can be lost when the persisted state is merged. Select _hasHydrated and pass loading={!hasPreferencesHydrated} to ToggleSwitch, or defer the row until hydration completes. Set the hydrated flag in src/__tests__/unit/routes/settings.advanced.test.tsx.

As per coding guidelines, “Wait for _hasHydrated before rendering UI that depends on persisted preferences.”

Proposed fix
   const appBadgeEnabled = usePreferencesStore((s) => s.appBadgeEnabled);
   const setAppBadgeEnabled = usePreferencesStore((s) => s.setAppBadgeEnabled);
+  const hasPreferencesHydrated = usePreferencesStore((s) => s._hasHydrated);

...
             value={appBadgeEnabled}
             setValue={setAppBadgeEnabled}
+            loading={!hasPreferencesHydrated}

Preserve the native-platform guard in the mock.

The production isNativePluginAvailable implementation requires both Capacitor.isNativePlatform() and plugin availability. This mock returns true for Badge while the mocked Capacitor.isNativePlatform() remains false. The iOS and Android tests can therefore pass without reproducing the native-platform contract. Mock the lower-level plugin check, or add a native-platform mock and set it to true for native cases.

Assert the Android control through its accessible role.

Use screen.queryByRole("checkbox", { name: /settings.advanced.appIconBadges/i }). queryByText checks only the label text and does not verify that the accessible toggle is absent.

As per coding guidelines, prioritize accessible queries in this order: getByRole, getByLabelText, getByText, then getByTestId.
