Alex Gleason b8773c47d7 Automate App Store releases via self-hosted Mac runner

Mirror the existing Android publishing flow for iOS. The pipeline
gains two jobs: build-ipa runs on a self-hosted Mac runner and
produces a signed App Store IPA; publish-app-store runs on a shared
Linux runner and submits the prebuilt IPA to App Store Connect.

Build pipeline (.gitlab-ci.yml):
- build-ipa (Mac, stage build, parallel with build-apk): decodes the
  ASC API key, runs match (with api_key, so cert validity is verified
  against Apple before xcodebuild starts), builds web assets, syncs
  Capacitor, stamps MARKETING_VERSION. Uploads Ditto-${CI_COMMIT_TAG}
  .ipa to GitLab's Generic Packages registry.
- publish-app-store (Linux ruby:3.3, needs: [build-ipa]): gem
  install fastlane, decode the ASC API key, extract the changelog
  section into release_notes.txt, fastlane submit_release with
  IPA_PATH pointing at the inherited artifact. No Xcode, no signing,
  no keychain \u2014 pure Apple API call.
- release job now needs both build-apk and build-ipa, and links three
  assets (APK / AAB / IPA).

fastlane (ios/fastlane/Fastfile, Matchfile, Appfile, metadata/):
- Four lanes: build_ipa (CI build), submit_release (CI publish, reads
  IPA_PATH from env), release (single-step convenience for local
  dev), submit_only (debug lane to re-submit an already-uploaded
  build).
- Match config points at the private gitlab.com/soapbox-pub
  /certificates repo. App Store Connect API key is built inline in
  the Fastfile to avoid a collision with match's APP_STORE_CONNECT
  _API_KEY_PATH env var (match wants a JSON descriptor, the action
  writes a raw .p8). CI overrides CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Manual via xcargs
  so the Xcode project can stay on Automatic for local development.

Vite config (vite.config.ts):
- Renames the build-time config override env var from CONFIG_FILE to
  DITTO_CONFIG_FILE. GitLab Runner sets CONFIG_FILE to its own TOML
  config in job env, which broke vite's loader.

App-side changes:
- ios/App/App.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: team GZLTTH5DLM stamped in;
  MARKETING_VERSION gets stamped from the tag at build time.
- public/CHANGELOG.md, package.json: v2.14.3.

Skills + AGENTS.md updated to reflect the six-job pipeline (test /
deploy unchanged, build now has two jobs, release / publish updated)
and to document Mac-runner operations, fastlane match cert rotation,
and local debugging workflows.

Agora

Power to the people.

Agora is a Nostr client focused on community ownership, expressive identity, and censorship resistance. This repository (agora-3) is the Agora-branded app built from the Ditto codebase.

agora.spot | Source

What This Repo Is

Agora product identity (name, theme, assets, native IDs)
Ditto-derived implementation with broad Nostr feature coverage
Configurable deployment defaults via agora.json

Features

Community-first social client: notes, articles, comments, reposts, reactions, and rich event rendering
Theming system: built-in presets + custom color/font/background themes that can be shared as events
Lightning support: zaps with Nostr Wallet Connect and WebLN
Private messaging: NIP-04 and NIP-17 direct messages
Mobile app shell: Capacitor-powered Android/iOS wrappers
Self-hostable: static web build + configurable relay and upload infrastructure

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node.js 22+
npm 10.9.4+

Development

git clone https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/agora-3.git
cd agora-3
npm install
npm run dev

Development server: http://localhost:8080

Docker Getting Started

Use Docker Compose when you want the nginx reverse-proxy stack (necessary if you want decryptable media in messages - kind 15s of NIP 17):

git clone https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/agora-3.git
cd agora-3
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up --build

Proxy URL: http://localhost:8083

This starts:

vite service on the internal Docker network (vite:8080)
web service (nginx) on host port 8082, proxying to Vite with websocket support

Stop stack:

docker compose down

Production-style container build:

docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build

Build

npm run build

Build output: dist/

Validate

npm test

This runs type-checking, linting, unit tests, and production build checks.

Configuration

Build-time config is read from agora.json (gitignored by default so each deployment can provide its own values).

{
  "theme": "dark",
  "relayMetadata": {
    "relays": [
      { "url": "wss://relay.ditto.pub", "read": true, "write": true },
      { "url": "wss://relay.primal.net", "read": true, "write": true },
      { "url": "wss://relay.damus.io", "read": true, "write": true }
    ]
  },
  "blossomServers": [
    "https://blossom.ditto.pub",
    "https://blossom.primal.net/"
  ]
}

Configuration priority (highest first):

User settings (local storage)
Build config (agora.json)
Hardcoded app defaults

Use a custom config path:

CONFIG_FILE=./my-config.json npm run build

Deployment

Agora builds to static files and can be deployed to any static host.

GitLab/GitHub Pages
Netlify/Vercel
VPS or any web server with SPA routing fallback

For Android:

npm run build
npx cap sync
npx cap open android
