Beta Testing

Version 1.0 (Build 25)

February 10, 2026 Beta

Critical fixes for App Store readiness. Improved CloudKit sync reliability, better error recovery, and enhanced diagnostics. Plus simplified onboarding, enhanced family sharing safety, and optional encrypted backups.

Critical Fix

CloudKit Batch Sync — Replaced sequential record uploads with batch operations for better performance and reliability. Better error recovery continues on non-critical errors instead of stopping completely.

Highlight

Simplified Onboarding — New "Set Up Your Experience" screen replaces the previous privacy consent wall. Three simple toggles (AI Assistants, Online Lookups, iCloud Sync) are all ON by default with clear explanations of what each does.

Security

Password-Protected Backups — Optionally encrypt your backup files with a password. Encrypted backups use industry-standard PBKDF2 + AES-GCM encryption and are saved as .stuffolio files. Restore automatically detects encrypted files and prompts for the password.

New Features

  • Set Up Your Experience — Action-oriented onboarding with 3 feature toggles (AI, Online Lookups, iCloud Sync) — all enabled by default
  • Encrypted Backups — Optional password protection for backup exports using AES-GCM encryption
  • Family Sharing Deletion Safety — Only the item creator or household Admin can delete shared items — Editors can no longer accidentally delete others' items
  • Scan Depth Options — Choose your analysis level: Quick ID (~15s), With Pricing (~25s), or Full Appraisal (~40s) — balance speed vs detail for your needs
  • Data Cleanup Tool — Analyze inventory completeness with quality scores, identify items missing photos, values, or warranties, and get suggestions for improving data quality
  • Batch Categorize Tool — Automatically categorize multiple items at once using keyword matching — great for cleaning up uncategorized imports
  • Bulk Price Update Tool — Update prices for multiple items using various strategies: percentage adjustment, AI lookup, or manual entry
  • Photo Optimizer — Reduce photo storage size while maintaining quality — compress existing photos or set defaults for new captures

Improvements

  • Consistent Terminology — Changed "Product" to "Item" throughout the app for clearer, more intuitive language
  • Onboarding Hints — Each toggle now includes subtle explanatory text about what data is used
  • Delete Permission Feedback — Clear messaging when users can't delete shared items they didn't create

Critical Fixes (February 10)

  • CloudKit Batch Sync — Batch operations replace sequential uploads; processes items in groups of 200
  • Partial Deletion Handling — Failed deletions remain in tracker for retry instead of being lost
  • Enhanced Error Logging — Sentry captures all CloudKit errors for better diagnostics
  • App Store Compliance — Removed exit(0) patterns that could cause rejection; replaced with state-driven recovery

Under the Hood

  • Separate Test Schemes — Unit tests and UI tests now run separately for faster development
  • Refactored Large Files — Dashboard, Item Detail, and Form views split into focused extension files for better maintainability
  • Mock Managers — New protocol-based mocks for CloudSync, Backup, and Keychain testing

Version 1.0 (Build 24)

New "Send to Apps" feature for seamless integration with Apple Notes, Calendar, and Reminders. Quickly create warranty events, maintenance reminders, and notes from any item.
