API keys

This build embeds your OPENAI_API_KEY directly into the iPhone companion app bundle for personal sideloading. The key is read from WatchGPTPhone/Config/LocalSecrets.xcconfig at build time and exposed via Info.plist. LocalSecrets.xcconfig and root .env are gitignored. The watch app holds no key — it only relays audio over WatchConnectivity.

Do not distribute a build of this app. Anyone who installs your .ipa or sideloaded .app can extract the embedded key. Sideload only to devices you personally control.

Trust boundary

  • iPhone: holds API key, holds WebSocket to OpenAI.
  • Watch: no key, no internet path. Communicates only with the paired iPhone over Bluetooth.

This is intentional — even if the watch app's bundle were extracted, no credential would be exposed. The iPhone bundle is the only sensitive artifact.

Reporting issues

Please open a GitHub issue for security-sensitive design concerns without sharing live keys, tokens, or private conversations.
