Description

Adds USB iPhone/iPad capture on macOS and brings completed recordings directly into the editor, with iPhone mockup frames for presentation and export.

  • Device picker with matching screen-source styling, responsive Refresh, and faster discovery.
  • Native capture, live preview, countdown/HUD controls, and handling for H.264/raw format changes and sRGB color metadata.
  • Device audio and optional Mac microphone narration, with availability and interruption details.
  • Mobile aspect ratios and capture metadata preserved through save/reopen and Save As. Interrupted media is retained; recovery controls were removed from the picker and More menu.
  • Black and White Titanium iPhone 16 Pro frames under Scene → Frame, saved in projects/presets and included in previews, thumbnails, MP4 and GIF. Portrait, landscape and crops retain the phone and recording proportions.

USB capture remains disabled in the normal release configuration while the remaining hardware checks are completed.

Motivation

Lets connected iPhone/iPad recordings use Recordly's editing and export workflow, with device frames for app demos.

Type of Change

  • New Feature
  • Bug Fix
  • Documentation Update

Preview

Rendered through the actual export renderer using synthetic content.

Testing Guide

Download the macOS Apple silicon test app · Build details and checksum

This separate test app enables USB capture and disables automatic updates. It is signed but not notarized. USB capture requires macOS 14+; sRGB iPhone capture requires macOS 15+.

  1. Open Recordly iOS Test.app, connect an unlocked iPhone/iPad by USB, and trust the Mac.
  2. Select the device, confirm the live preview, and record a short clip.
  3. In the editor, select Scene → Frame → Black or White. Save/reopen the project and test MP4/GIF export.

Validation: 1,235 JavaScript/TypeScript tests and 46 native tests passed, plus type, lint, formatting and localization checks. Both native helper architectures build. Preview and export-renderer checks covered landscape, zero padding and frame-image failure recovery.

Physical iPhone testing confirmed live preview, a roughly 20-second recording, editor handoff, and 9:41/full status icons. The packaged app reopened the recording and displayed the frame picker. Long-duration audio, physical export fidelity, broader device coverage and notarized clean installs still need testing.

Checklist

  • Performed a self-review.
  • Included a preview and test app.
  • Updated feature and testing documentation.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 62dbe

Desktop permission and recording-exclusivity regressions can affect existing capture flows, while enabled iOS capture can stop valid takes or stall commands and previews. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Set maxBuffer and stream build output for the swift build step.

run captures stdout and stderr with the default spawnSync maxBuffer of 1 MiB. A release build of the Swift package can exceed that limit. When it does, spawnSync sets result.error to ENOBUFS and result.status to null, so line 24 throws with a misleading message instead of the compiler diagnostics.

The compile step at line 59 does not need captured output. Only the --show-bin-path call and the validation calls do.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-function run(command, args) {
+function run(command, args, { capture = true } = {}) {
 	const result = spawnSync(command, args, {
-		encoding: "utf8",
+		encoding: "utf8",
+		maxBuffer: 64 * 1024 * 1024,
+		stdio: capture ? "pipe" : "inherit",
 		env: {
 			...process.env,
 			CLANG_MODULE_CACHE_PATH: cache,
 			SWIFTPM_MODULECACHE_OVERRIDE: cache,
 		},
 	});
 	if (result.status !== 0)
 		throw new Error(
 			result.error?.message ??
 				([result.stderr, result.stdout].filter(Boolean).join("\n") || `${command} failed`),
 		);
-	return result.stdout.trim();
+	return capture ? result.stdout.trim() : "";
 }

Then call the compile step with run("swift", args, { capture: false }).

Load deviceFrame without rebuilding the playback pipeline.

Changing deviceFrame currently reruns the pipeline effect. Cleanup pauses the video, resets animation state, removes event listeners, and destroys the video resources before recreating them. This can interrupt playback and reset transient state. Move deviceFrame loading to a separate effect that calls deviceFrameGraphicsRef.current?.load(deviceFrame). Keep overlay creation and destruction in the pipeline effect.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/ios-capture.yml:
- Line 32: Make formatting validation required by removing continue-on-error
from the existing format check in the workflow, or add an equivalent required
npm run format:check step if absent. Ensure formatting failures cause the
workflow to fail.

In `@docs/testing/ios-usb-capture-matrix.md`:
- Line 24: Update the A16 row in the test matrix to use the current 1,235-test,
147-file verification counts, or explicitly label the existing 1,083 and 1,221
counts as historical so they do not conflict with the evidence referenced in
Line 65 and the implementation document.

In `@electron/ipc/recording/ios/controller.ts`:
- Around line 388-396: Update the prepare flow that invokes setPreviewEnabled so
preview activation failures are best effort while the controller remains ready:
catch the request error and suppress it when the controller still has phase
"ready", but rethrow it after the controller leaves ready so helper failures
reach the renderer. Preserve setPreviewEnabled’s existing request behavior and
guards.

In `@electron/ipc/recording/ios/preview.ts`:
- Around line 36-38: Reset or re-arm the reused PreviewFrameDecoder when
IOSCaptureController.prepare() starts a new preview stream, clearing its closed
state and partial buffer so subsequent push() calls process frames after
INVALID_PREVIEW. Preserve the existing INVALID_PREVIEW handling and apply the
reset at the new-stream initialization point in IOSHelperProcess.

In `@electron/ipc/register/recording.ts`:
- Line 437: Update the shared handleDesktopStop cleanup around
endDesktopRecording(lease) so the lease is released only when
nativeScreenRecordingActive, windowsNativeCaptureActive, and
ffmpegScreenRecordingActive are all false. Retain the desktop lease when any
backend remains active, including when stop-native-screen-recording finds no
matching native backend.

In
`@electron/native/ios-device-capture/Sources/IOSCaptureCore/CaptureEngine.swift`:
- Line 243: Update the settled-phase guard in CaptureEngine to include
"cancelled" alongside the existing terminal phases, preventing discovery or
video callbacks from processing a request after it has been cancelled.
- Around line 224-227: Update CaptureEngine’s captureOutput(_:didDrop:from:)
handling to branch on the selected mode: for h264-encode, report and count
dropped raw-input samples without interrupting an active take; for passthrough,
retain the existing safe interruption during starting or recording because
continuity is lost. Do not introduce a numeric drop budget.

In
`@electron/native/ios-device-capture/Sources/IOSDeviceCaptureHelper/main.swift`:
- Line 83: Bind the parsed command before the do/catch flow and update the catch
handling to emit command.requestId for post-parse failures, while preserving the
existing fallback behavior for parse failures where no command is available. Use
the parsed command’s requestId so pending callers receive RECORDING_BUSY or
INVALID_REQUEST instead of timing out.

In `@scripts/build-ios-device-helper.mjs`:
- Around line 73-77: Update the build flow around the binary staging logic to
run the architecture, deployment-target, and plist validation checks against the
product at binPath before mkdir, copyFile, or chmod stages it. Only copy and
chmod the binary after all validations pass, preserving the existing destination
construction and permissions.

In `@scripts/ios-helper-policy.mjs`:
- Around line 66-67: Update the otool invocation in the section parsing flow to
remove the “-X” argument, preserving the address-prefixed output required by
decodeMachOPlistSection. Keep the remaining otool options and plist decoding
behavior unchanged.

In `@scripts/smoke-packaged-binaries.mjs`:
- Around line 272-276: Update the inspectIOSHelper call in the darwin package
branch to run only when the current host is macOS, while preserving the existing
Darwin tag and recordlyNativeIOSHelper checks. Keep the surrounding artifact
file checks cross-platform.

In `@src/components/launch/popovers/SourcePopover.tsx`:
- Line 62: Update SourceSelectorContent’s onClick handling for the async
source-selection callback so rejected promises are explicitly caught or
otherwise handled, preventing unhandled rejections while preserving
SourcePopover’s existing error propagation behavior.

In `@src/components/launch/SourceSelector.tsx`:
- Around line 500-519: Update the onOptionsChange handler to apply the same
deviceAudio capability clamp used by onSelectDevice before calling ios.prepare,
ensuring sources with deviceAudio set to "unavailable" are prepared with
deviceAudio disabled while preserving the UI and stored preference behavior.

In `@src/hooks/useScreenRecorder.ts`:
- Line 568: Remove the options.startup early return from preparePermissions so
desktop startup invokes getSelectedSource(), macOS permission checks, and both
startup alert branches; preserve the existing iOS-source guard and other
permission behavior.

In `@src/i18n/locales/de/launch.json`:
- Line 139: Update the ios.status.connected locale value used by
getIOSCapturePresentation from the incorrect noun “Geräte” to the same English
placeholder convention as the other ios keys, or to an accurate German
connected-status message.

In `@src/i18n/locales/es/launch.json`:
- Around line 97-100: Translate every value in the complete ios object for both
Spanish and French locale files, replacing the current English strings while
preserving all keys and structure so the iOS UI no longer uses English locale
overrides.

In `@src/i18n/locales/ru/launch.json`:
- Around line 97-100: Translate the iOS capture-related locale values for
Russian and Simplified Chinese instead of leaving English placeholders,
including the visible keys sourceCategory, desktop, empty, and help. Preserve
the existing keys and JSON structure so I18nContext selects the localized
strings.

In `@src/i18n/locales/zh-TW/launch.json`:
- Around line 97-200: Translate all newly added iOS/device-capture strings in
the zh-TW locale, including labels, statuses, errors, recovery text, warnings,
and recording notices, into natural Traditional Chinese. Preserve the existing
keys, placeholders such as {rate} and {number}, HTML entities, and nested
structure.

Do not fail preparation when optional preview activation times out.

When setPreviewEnabled times out while the helper remains available, the controller stays ready and retains the recording lease, but the prepare IPC call rejects. Treat this preview failure as best effort. Re-throw errors after the controller leaves ready so helper failures still reach the renderer.

Re-arm the preview decoder when a reused helper starts a new preview stream.

IOSHelperProcess creates one PreviewFrameDecoder for the child-process lifetime. IOSCaptureController.prepare() can reuse that helper for a new generation. After INVALID_PREVIEW, closed remains true, so push() drops all later frames. Reset the decoder when the native helper starts the new preview stream.

Retain the desktop lease when another backend is active.

When stop-native-screen-recording finds no matching native backend, it returns without stopping FFmpeg. The shared handleDesktopStop finally block still calls endDesktopRecording(lease), so a new native start can overlap the active FFmpeg capture. Release the lease only when nativeScreenRecordingActive, windowsNativeCaptureActive, and ffmpegScreenRecordingActive are all false.

ios.status.connected carries the wrong text.

Every other value in this new ios block is an untranslated English placeholder. Line 139 is the only German value, and "Geräte" means "Devices". getIOSCapturePresentation selects ios.status.connected when a device is connected, so this key must contain a status message, not a noun.

Use the same English placeholder as the other keys until the German translation lands, or supply the correct German status text.

Translate the iOS capture strings in both locale files. The checker requires matching keys, not translated values, and the release workflow permits these English placeholders. However, I18nContext selects the locale value before the English fallback, so Russian and Simplified Chinese users see English throughout the iOS capture flow. This is a user-facing localization gap, not a release-blocking check failure.
