A running launcher cannot replace its own NRO on sdmc/FAT; stage the new
binary and chainload a tiny helper from romfs to swap it in before loading
the game.
Enable HTTPS peer checks via a romfs CA bundle, remove existing NROs before rename on sdmc, and surface launcher replace failures before writing version.txt.
Ships a dual-NRO native launcher that checks GitHub Releases, updates both NROs from gen1recomp-*-switch.zip with matching NACP versions, and stays silent unless an update needs confirm.
Introduce a tuned .luacheckrc and scripts/lint.sh so the engine has a
standing static-analysis baseline -- the tool that would have caught both
bugs in the previous commit before they shipped.
The config is high-signal by design: it keeps the categories that catch
real defects (undefined globals/locals, unused values, unreachable code)
and mutes the cosmetic ones the codebase deliberately lives with (a self/dt
an interface requires but a method ignores, documented empty fall-through
branches, long lines). It marks `love` mutable (games assign callbacks onto
it) and teaches it LuaJIT's table.unpack.
.luacheckrc is tracked via a .gitignore exception, matching how .github and
.gitignore opt out of the blanket dotfile ignore.
`luacheck src` now reports 7 benign warnings and 0 errors, down from 185.
Also drop one dead `require` (ItemEffects loaded src.pokemon.Pokemon and
never used it).

Makes the iOS build a first-class citizen: ROM/mod/save import through
the system document picker (the README's missing "UIDocumentPicker
handoff"), Files-app drop-in support, and an opt-in Apple Health
step-sync seam consumed by a new gallery mod (Pokewalker).
Native layer (mobile/ios/native/, wired by mobile/ios/patch_love_src.py
on every build, so the fetched love-src tree stays pristine + re-patchable):
- GRPickerBridge.swift: love.system.pickFile("rom"|"mod"|"sav") and
love.system.createFile on iOS with the same contract as love-android's
SAF picker (picked_rom.gb / picked_mod.zip / picked_save.sav /
export_done.flag in the save dir). Reached from wrap_System.cpp via the
ObjC runtime, so liblove needs no Swift interop.
- GRBootstrap.m: sweeps .gb/.gbc/.zip/.sav dropped in Documents (Files
app / Finder sharing) into the save dir on every activation;
UIFileSharingEnabled + LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace in the plist
overlay. Drop a ROM, open the app, it imports with zero taps.
- GRHealthBridge.swift: love.system.syncHealthSteps() -> read-only
HealthKit step query anchored to the last sync, delivered as
steps_pending.json (merge-not-overwrite). HealthKit entitlement +
usage description included.
Lua:
- RomImporter: iOS rides the Android mobile flows; a 0.5s poll consumes
picker deliveries (iOS pickers are in-process modals, so the Android
refocus rescan never fires); failed pick copies surface as an
on-screen notice via pick_error.txt.
- main.lua: on iOS, stop forwarding touchpressed to the Importer - LOVE
already synthesizes a mousepressed for the primary touch, and the
resulting same-frame double-present made the document picker
auto-dismiss with zero documents (silent import failure).
- mods/pokewalker: opt-in Pokewalker mod (manifest v2, MECHANIC,
permissions declared, mod.card, CHANGELOG, headless test suite 9/9,
modkit validate --base imported + lint clean). Fused into iOS
game.love only; loads dormant anywhere without the bridge.
Build (scripts/build_ios.sh):
- Fix Xcode 26: the global PRODUCT_NAME override also renamed liblove.a
and broke the app link; the app bundle is renamed after the build
instead.
- Fix nondeterministic pack failures: grep -q + pipefail races SIGPIPE
on the game.love content checks.
- Simulator builds sign ad-hoc so entitlements embed (HealthKit works in
the simulator).
- Device builds: signing team auto-detected from the keychain,
CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Automatic + -allowProvisioningUpdates for CLI-only
provisioning, per-team derived bundle ID (explicit App IDs are
globally unique, so third parties can't sign the project default),
gitignored mobile/ios/bundle_id.local pin, and --install to push to a
connected iPhone.
- docs/ios-install.md: a zero-knowledge walkthrough from bare Mac to
playing on an iPhone.
Backward compatibility: no behavior change on desktop or Android. The
new love.system functions exist only under LOVE_IOS; RomImporter's
mobile flag simply includes iOS alongside Android; the main.lua change
is iOS-gated; the Pokewalker mod is packed only by the iOS build script
and its option defaults off.
Verified on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator and an iPhone 16 Pro device:
scripted ROM import to title screen, Files-drop zero-tap import,
picker-driven mod install and save import/export, HealthKit permission
sheet + step credit (4000 steps -> +200 EXP at the default rate through
the engine growth curve).
