feat add lockscreen widget

[krushnarout]

Summary

• Adds an iOS WidgetKit lock screen widget showing Omi device battery level and mic mute state
• Widget updates in real-time via App Group UserDefaults + WidgetCenter.reloadAllTimelines on every battery or mute state change
• Supports accessoryRectangular (lock screen bar) and accessoryInline (lock screen inline) families

Details

• New WidgetKit extension (BatteryWidget/) — Swift target with shared UserDefaults via App Group group.com.friend-app-with-wearable.ios12
• Flutter bridge (BatteryWidgetService) — MethodChannel sends battery info and mute state to Swift independently, so mute reloads are never overwritten by battery updates
• Rectangular widget: Omi logo | battery % | mic/muted icon (red when muted). Shows "Connect device" when disconnected
• Inline widget: device name + battery % in lock screen inline slot
• Mute state writes first before BLE stream cancel to avoid race conditions with battery update reloads

Greptile Summary

Adds iOS lock screen widget showing Omi device battery level and mic mute state, with real-time updates via App Group UserDefaults and MethodChannel bridge between Flutter and Swift.

Implementation:

• New WidgetKit extension with rectangular and inline lock screen widget families
• Flutter BatteryWidgetService bridges battery and mute state to Swift via separate method channels
• Widget reads from shared App Group UserDefaults (group.com.friend-app-with-wearable.ios12)
• Updates triggered on battery changes, device connect/disconnect, and mic mute/unmute
• Mute state written before BLE stream cancellation to prevent race conditions
• 5-minute fallback timeline refresh with instant updates via WidgetCenter.reloadTimelines

Architecture:

• Clean separation: battery info and mute state use independent method channel calls
• All entitlements files updated with App Group support
• Widget displays: Omi logo, battery %, mic state (red when muted), or "Connect device" when disconnected

Notes:

• Widget strings are hardcoded in English (consider internationalization in future)
• Double reload with 0.5s delay in AppDelegate.swift:120-122 is a workaround for iOS widget refresh timing

Confidence Score: 4/5

• Safe to merge with minor consideration for future internationalization
• Implementation is solid with proper App Group configuration, clean method channel architecture, and race condition prevention. Score of 4 (not 5) due to hardcoded English strings in widget UI and workaround pattern for widget reload timing, though neither impacts core functionality
• No files require special attention - all implementations follow iOS and Flutter best practices

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
app/ios/BatteryWidget/BatteryWidget.swift	Main widget implementation with rectangular and inline lock screen views, timeline provider with 5-minute fallback refresh
app/lib/services/battery_widget_service.dart	Flutter MethodChannel service that bridges battery and mute state to iOS widget via separate methods
app/ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift	Added method channel handlers for battery and mute updates, writes to App Group UserDefaults and triggers widget reloads
app/lib/providers/device_provider.dart	Added widget updates on battery changes and disconnect events
app/lib/providers/capture_provider.dart	Added mute state updates before BLE stream pause/resume to prevent race conditions

Review by @ryo (community PR reviewer)

Solid lock screen widget implementation — the WidgetKit architecture is clean, App Group sharing is properly wired, and the demo screenshots show it working across all states.

What's good:

• Proper App Group (group.com.friend-app-with-wearable.ios12) matching the existing app
• Smart separation of updateBatteryInfo and updateMuteState channels to avoid race conditions
• BatteryWidgetService (Flutter) is a clean singleton with iOS-only guard
• CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS is properly set in build settings for the widget extension
• Supports accessoryRectangular and accessoryInline families with good disconnected-state handling

Must fix

1. CLAUDE.md changes are out of scope
This PR removes safety guardrails from the project's AI instruction file:

• Removes "Never push or create PRs unless explicitly asked"
• Removes "Commit locally by default"
• Changes push behavior from "if instructed by user" to "when you finish implementing"

These are unrelated to the lock screen widget and should not be in this PR. Please revert all CLAUDE.md changes.

2. Resolve merge conflicts
@mdmohsin7 requested conflict resolution — please rebase on latest main.

Should fix

3. defaults?.synchronize() is deprecated
UserDefaults.synchronize() has been unnecessary since iOS 12. Apple docs: "this method is unnecessary and shouldn't be used." Safe to remove both calls.

4. Double reloadAllTimelines() in mute handler
The mute state handler calls reloadAllTimelines() then calls it again 500ms later. If the first call isn't reliable enough, there may be a timing issue worth investigating rather than working around with a delayed retry.

Happy to re-review once the CLAUDE.md changes are reverted and conflicts resolved.

[krushnarout]

All three points have been addressed:

1/ CLAUDE.md changes reverted

2/ defaults?.synchronize() removed — both calls are gone. Agreed, unnecessary since iOS 12.

3/ Double reloadAllTimelines() removed — replaced the reloadAllTimelines() + 500ms retry with a single call. The delayed retry was a workaround masking a timing issue rather than fixing it, so removing it is the right call.

Ready for re-review!

This is how it appears when no device was connected, and also no change after I connect the device @krushnarout

Couldn't read values in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x147929880> (Domain: group.com.friend-app-with-wearable.ios12, User: kCFPreferencesAnyUser, ByHost: Yes, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: Yes): Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers, detaching from cfprefsd

[krushnarout]

@mdmohsin7 I tried again and it’s working correctly

can you check this? Claude suggested this:

Root cause of the CFPrefs error:

The warning Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers appears when the App Group is not registered in the reviewer's provisioning profile. Even though the entitlements file is correct in the code, at install time the signed binary needs a provisioning profile that explicitly includes group.com.friend-app-with-wearable.ios12. Without it, the widget extension can't read from the shared container → shows blank.

The CFPrefs error (kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container) and blank widget are a provisioning issue, not a code bug. The code correctly uses UserDefaults(suiteName: "group.com.friend-app-with-wearable.ios12") and the entitlements file has the App Group set on both targets.

This error appears when the provisioning profile on the test device doesn't include the group.com.friend-app-with-wearable.ios12 App Group. The signed binary's embedded profile must list it — Xcode Automatically Manage Signing won't add it unless your Apple Developer account has the App Group registered.

To fix:

Go to developer.apple.com → Identifiers → App Groups → verify group.com.friend-app-with-wearable.ios12 exists
Edit both your main app ID and the BatteryWidget extension ID to include it
Regenerate your provisioning profiles and re-install
