simwire 0.2.0

Added

• The session recovers on its own. Wi-Fi drops, phones sleep, laptops move
  between networks; the SDK now retries with a growing delay and rediscovers the
  phone each time, since one rejoining a network can come back on another
  address. New reconnecting and reconnected events, a connected flag, and
  simulateDrop() on the mock so you can test your own handling.
  A send() issued while the session is down waits for it instead of failing.
• Unpairing, from either side. npx simwire unpair forgets the phone on
  your machine; the app's Health screen revokes the token and stops the
  gateway.

Install

Download simwire-0.2.0.apk below, or update over your existing install: the
pairing is kept.

npm install simwire@0.2.0

Verify what you downloaded

This app is installed outside the Play Store, so check that the file you got is
the file we built:

sha256sum -c simwire-0.2.0.apk.sha256    # Linux
shasum -a 256 simwire-0.2.0.apk          # macOS

The APK is a signed release build; Android will refuse to install it over a
copy signed with a different key.

Still true

LAN only for now: to reach a phone from a remote server, put both on a Tailscale
network and pass connect({ host }). Delivery reports depend on the carrier.
Not for bulk messaging.

simwire 0.1.0

Turn your Android phone into a local SMS gateway for your code.

Install

Download simwire-0.1.0.apk below and open it on your phone. Android will ask
you to allow installs from this source; you can revoke that right after.

Then open the app, turn the three checks in Health green, and pair:

npm install simwire
npx simwire pair

Scan the QR from your terminal. Phone and computer must be on the same network.

What works

• QR pairing over the LAN; the token never leaves your two devices
• Sending, with real carrier statuses: queued, sent, delivered
• Receiving, pushed straight to your machine — no public webhook, no tunnel
• A durable queue: a killed app resumes where it left off
• Dual-SIM routing, mDNS discovery, boot autostart

Known limits

• LAN only. To reach a phone from a remote server, put both on a Tailscale
  network and pass connect({ host }). A native relay mode is planned.
• The SDK does not reconnect automatically yet; call connect() again on
  disconnect.
• Delivery reports depend on the carrier and may never arrive.
• Not for bulk messaging: carriers throttle and ban SIMs that spam.
