ssh_mac_app (SwiftUI macOS)

Overview

• SwiftUI macOS app to manage SSH-accessible devices on a LAN.
• Features: device list with reachability status, SSH actions (shutdown/restart), open in Terminal, add devices (manual + Bonjour discovery), periodic status checks, SQLite persistence.

How to use

1. Open SSHMacApp.xcodeproj in Xcode.
2. Select the SSHMacApp scheme and a My Mac destination.
3. Update the Signing team under Target Settings > Signing & Capabilities, if needed.
4. Build & run.

Notes

• Persistence uses SQLite via the built-in SQLite3 C library (import SQLite3).
• SSH actions by default use key-based auth via system /usr/bin/ssh to run commands. For password-based SSH, integrate a library:
  • NMSSH (CocoaPods/Carthage) or SwiftNIO SSH (SwiftPM). If NMSSH is available, the NMSSHClient implementation will be compiled automatically (guarded by #if canImport(NMSSH)).
• Status checks probe TCP:22 (SSH) via the Network framework (no raw ICMP), updating colors accordingly.
• Bonjour discovery browses _ssh._tcp. services; you can extend with ping sweep if desired.

Security

• For simplicity, credentials (including passwords) are stored in SQLite. For production, prefer Keychain for secrets and store only references in SQLite.

Build settings

• Target platform: macOS 13+ recommended (works with macOS 12+ if Network framework usage is adjusted).
• Ensure your target links the Network framework and has import AppKit allowed (macOS app target default).

CLI builds

• Build once: make build (opens Xcode toolchain; macOS only)
• Run app: make run
• Clean: make clean
• Auto-build on changes (requires fswatch): bash scripts/watch.sh
