+This project is a static web experience, so it needs to be wrapped in a native container before it can be shipped to Google Play or the Apple App Store. The steps below outline a pragmatic approach using Ionic Capacitor, which keeps the web UI while giving you native binaries. + +## 1. Prepare the web app +- Audit the site for mobile UX: responsive layout, touch targets >= 48px, no hover-only interactions. +- Add metadata: set <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> (already present in index.html), include icons/splash assets, and provide offline fallbacks if needed. +- Run a performance pass (Lighthouse) to ensure good Core Web Vitals. + +## 2. Wrap with Capacitor +1. Install tooling:

• npm install -g @ionic/cli
• npm init @capacitor/app

+2. When prompted, point Web App Path to maxim-clone and choose TypeScript/Vanilla JS as appropriate. +3. Copy index.html, styles.css, and script.js into the Capacitor project's www/ directory. +4. Run npx cap sync android and npx cap sync ios to generate native projects. + +## 3. Android (Google Play) +- Open android/ in Android Studio. +- Update app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml with permissions (e.g., Internet) and set the application ID (reverse-domain notation). +- Supply adaptive icons and splash screens in app/src/main/res. +- Use Build > Generate Signed Bundle / APK to create a release AAB. +- Sign the bundle with a keystore, enable Play App Signing, and upload through the Play Console. +- Fill in store listing: screenshots (7"/10" tablets and phones), feature graphic, privacy policy URL, content rating. +- Run pre-launch report; fix blocking issues before publishing. + +## 4. iOS (App Store) +- Run npx cap open ios to open the Xcode workspace. +- Set the bundle identifier, deployment target, and signing team under Signing & Capabilities. +- Add app icons and launch screens via the Assets.xcassets catalog. +- Configure network transport security if you load external resources (App Transport Security). +- Archive the build (Product > Archive), validate, and upload via the Xcode Organizer. +- In App Store Connect, create the app record, complete the privacy questionnaire, upload screenshots for 6.7"/5.5" displays, and submit for review. + +## 5. Compliance checklist +- Privacy policy: host a public URL describing data usage (even if none). +- App functionality: ensure all buttons/links work offline/online as expected; avoid placeholder content. +- Analytics/Logging: remove console logging or behind a flag; comply with GDPR/CCPA if collecting data. +- Testing: test on real devices and emulators (Android, iOS). Use TestFlight/Play testing tracks for QA. +- Versioning: follow semantic versioning and maintain release notes. + +## 6. Alternative: Trusted Web Activity (Android) +If you maintain the site as a PWA, you can publish a wrapper using Trusted Web Activity: +- Meet PWA requirements (HTTPS, Web App Manifest, Service Worker). +- Use Bubblewrap CLI to generate the Android project. +- This is Android-only; iOS still needs a native wrapper (Capacitor/Cordova). + +## 7. Maintenance tips +- Automate builds with CI (GitHub Actions) to produce signed artifacts. +- Monitor crash logs (Firebase Crashlytics) and analytics (Privacy-compliant) post-launch. +- Keep dependencies and platform SDKs up to date to avoid store policy removals. + +Following these steps will let you ship the existing static experience to both major app stores while retaining a single web codebase.
