Phone Use 0.1.1.

Fixes

  • Mac: Screen Mirroring now shows video and takes input on recent macOS. The 0.1.0 DMG lost large video packets and never saw the iPhone mirroring.
  • The app starts its services once (0.1.0 could start two), and Quit stops them whoever started them.
  • Bridge: the Wi-Fi network list works while the bridge is online (firmware 0.2.5), and a new or reset bridge advertises setup reliably.

New

  • The window opens on Pair iPhone, with the pairing QR code in place. The AirPlay receiver appears only once an iPhone is paired, and agents are refused until then.
  • Linux: Bridge › Flash LilyGO T-Display flashes the bridge firmware over USB, after confirming that it erases the board.
  • Linux: use this PC's Bluetooth as the iPhone's keyboard and mouse, with or without the bridge.
  • Shorter setup text, Screen Mirroring steps in words, and Forget Bridge resets the bridge.

Known gaps: the iPhone app isn't in the App Store yet (build it from ios/). On the Mac, screen reading (OCR) for agents isn't bundled, and Live Activity notifications need push credentials the release doesn't carry.
