Dylan 131dca3241 Verify the iPhone build locally, and scope what still needs a phone
Added integration_test/ride_simulation_test.dart, which drives a whole recording
against a simulator that is genuinely moving, then reads the stored ride back
through the provider graph -- the app is uninstalled when a run ends, so anything
worth knowing has to be reported from inside the test.

Attacked an assumption and it survived. simctl location start --speed=15
interpolates between waypoints over time, unlike Android's teleporting geo fix,
so it looked like speed might finally be testable locally. A probe captured 8
fixes, every one 0.0 m/s. The recorded ride shows the consequence plainly: 245.5m
of distance with zero moving time, because every sample sits under the 1.5 km/h
noise floor.

What that leaves verified locally: the app builds and launches, the real UI
renders, Drift opens against iOS storage, plugins register, CoreLocation
delivers fixes, distance accumulates from real movement, trips persist and list,
the detail screen and its map render, and navigation works. Also confirmed
visually that the permission dialog shows the specific usage string written for
Guideline 5.1.1.

What still needs a phone: speed, moving time, speed colouring, elevation against
correlated GPS error, battery, and above all whether iOS suspends a stationary
app mid-ride -- the item that decides whether geolocator is sufficient.

Named gap: no screenshot of the iOS trips or detail screens. Verified
functionally, but tapping the iOS simulator is not scriptable and a fresh install
re-prompts for location over the UI.

Rippr

A GPS ride recorder for motorcycles, on Android and iOS. Records telemetry into a local SQLite database, renders the traversed path on a map afterwards, and exports to GPX/GeoJSON.

Built for one specific use: hit start, put the phone in a pocket, ride, hit stop. Most of the design follows from that.

This is a Flutter port of the native Android app in ~/dojo/rippr (v1 → v2.0.1). The port is feature-complete; see docs/port/PARITY-AUDIT.md for exactly what is verified and what is not.

Flutter 3.47 · Dart 3.13        Android minSdk 26 · iOS 12+
~4,600 lines Dart               175 tests (171 unit/widget, 4 integration)

Status

Feature Status
GPS recording, foreground on Android / background mode on iOS Implemented; not yet ridden
Trips with pause / resume / stop / discard Working, 50 tests
Live speed + elapsed clock Working
Path on OpenStreetMap, per-segment, speed-coloured Working; colouring unverifiable without a real ride
Ride statistics + charts Working; bit-identical to the Kotlin original
Rename / delete / merge rides Working
GPX + GeoJSON export Working; byte-identical to the Kotlin original
Upload to a REST endpoint Implemented, no UI (as in the native app)
Notification actions (Pause/Resume in the shade) Absent — the one capability lost
Live map while recording · group ride Deferred to v3

The port has never recorded a real ride. No simulator produces velocity, so max speed, moving time, speed colouring, elevation against real GPS error, battery, and iOS stationary suspension are all unverified. That is docs/port/REAL-RIDE-CHECKLIST.md, and it is the next thing that should happen.

Quick start

Requires JDK 17–21 for Android (AGP rejects 25) and Xcode for iOS.

flutter pub get
dart run build_runner build          # Drift codegen
flutter analyze && flutter test
flutter test integration_test -d <device-id>
flutter run

Watch the disk. A full dual-platform build cycle costs roughly 10 GB, and the Android emulator needs 7.4 GB free just to boot. Run flutter clean before booting it.

Cross-language parity

The strongest guarantee in this repo. It compiles the real Kotlin sources from the native app and diffs them against the Dart port across twenty fixtures:

brew install kotlin
JAVA_HOME=<jdk-21> ./tool/parity/run.sh

Everything matches to the last digit — including the elevation accumulator at 38.959594555022136 and byte-identical GPX/GeoJSON. The single expected difference is speed-derived values, where Kotlin's 32-bit Float widens with artefacts Dart's uniform double does not reproduce.

Two bugs this port found in the native app

Crash recovery measured the dead time as distance. restoreAfterProcessDeath says it resumes into a new segment; it actually adopts the segment a crash left open, so the authoritative recomputation measures straight through the gap. Reproduced at 111 km of phantom distance. Fixed here.

The elevation regression guard passes on seed luck. On a shared fixture the algorithm yields ~39 m, which would fail the native test's own 35 m bound. It passes only because kotlin.random.Random(42) happens to draw a benign sequence.

Before shipping

  • Switch the application id from com.rippr.port back to com.rippr. The suffix exists so the native app can be installed alongside during the port — keep it until the real ride comparison is done.
  • Replace the default Flutter app icon; the native artwork is in ~/dojo/rippr/design/.
  • Build and test a release build. Everything so far has been debug.
