Voice — iOS client for Hope Voice
Native SwiftUI iOS app (iOS 17+) maintained in the Hope monorepo under ios/: authenticated durable Chats, separate Talk/Activity, account-scoped library and server-managed preferences. Run native commands below from this directory. See migration/history and current status. The old standalone iOS repository is retained as a read-only archive after verified migration.
Status: Core functionality is implemented and verified in simulator to the extent the environment allows. Full device qualification (mic capture, interruption behavior) remains pending. The native Talk/Activity redesign is implemented — see PLAN.md and docs/DEVICE_TESTING.md.
Prerequisites
- Xcode 16+ (Swift 6), iOS 17 simulator or a real iPhone on the LAN.
- xcodegen (
brew install xcodegen). - The
voicecontainer running on Unraid (LiveKit + token server). - Mic: the simulator mic is unreliable in this environment (CoreAudio
-4010, 0 input channels) — voice mode needs a real device. If the simulator was wiped, grant permission first:xcrun simctl privacy booted grant microphone dev.shane.voice.
Build & run
xcodegen generate # regenerate Voice.xcodeproj after file changes
xcodebuild -project Voice.xcodeproj -scheme Voice_iOS \
-destination 'generic/platform=iOS Simulator' build
The scheme is Voice_iOS (not Voice). Bundle id: dev.shane.voice.
To run in the simulator, use Xcode or xcrun simctl with the built app.
Server configuration
Default base URL is https://192.168.86.2:9178 (see Sources/App/SettingsStore.swift).
Change it at runtime in Settings → Server URL (the app disconnects and recreates the
session when idle). The app derives the LiveKit signaling endpoint from this base URL.
TLS cert pinning
The deployment uses a persistent self-signed cert. The entrypoint regenerates it if
missing or issued for a different IP. The pinned SHA-256 in
Sources/Networking/TLSPinning.swift must match after any actual cert rotation:
openssl s_client -connect 192.168.86.2:9178 </dev/null 2>/dev/null \
| openssl x509 -outform der | openssl dgst -sha256
Paste the new hash into TLSPinning.pinnedCertSHA256Hex. Until you do, token calls
fail with a pin mismatch (not a network error).
Features
- Conversation — LiveKit room with the Hope agent; voice mode (mic + TTS) and text mode (composer), toggleable and persisted. State machine (idle/connecting/listening/thinking/ speaking) driven by audio levels, with a compact status indicator and mic meter.
- Transcripts — partials updated in place, finals with timestamps, delivery-marker stripping, last-50 history persisted to UserDefaults, clear button.
- Voice & model pickers — 13 Azure TTS voices; LLM models from the agent's
modelsmessage. Both persist and sync on join (set_voice/set_model). - Activity tab — live
task_eventupdates (steps, result, error) with an active count badge on the tab.
Known limitations
- Simulator mic: CoreAudio returns
-4010(no usable input source) in this environment; voice capture must be verified on a real device. Text mode works in the simulator. - Cert pin rotation: see above — re-export the pin after each server cert regeneration.
- LiveKit signaling uses plain
ws://192.168.86.2:7880(not wss) because the Swift SDK cannot trust the self-signed cert on its WebSocket; token calls still go over pinned TLS.
