iOS/iPadOS: Daily use and sync limits

Goal and result

Use the local library, lists, scanning, notifications, app lock, and optional server connection without assuming unsupported synchronization.

Applies to

Local and offline use is available in both the App Store release and TestFlight beta. Native server synchronization is not a released capability; only server connection behavior explicitly confirmed by the installed build should be trusted.

Stable channel

public App Store release for iPhone and iPad
SwiftData · the test title remains after app restart and an offline launch
/api/v1 · one test item matches locally and on the server, or synchronization stays disabled

Beta channel

optional TestFlight beta for prerelease builds
SwiftData · the test title remains after app restart and an offline launch
/api/v1 · one test item matches locally and on the server, or synchronization stays disabled

Prerequisites

completed onboarding
small disposable test library

Procedure

Test: Library → Search · Library → Add → Scan barcode / Enter manually · airplane mode
Create: local offline-first library · the test title remains after app restart and an offline launch
Configure: Settings → App Lock · Settings → Server connection
Compare: optional server connection tested with one item · one test item matches locally and on the server, or synchronization stays disabled

Expected result

Local edits persist offline. Any sync test clearly reports success and produces matching records on both sides before broader use.
