1. locations Updates • Major additions/edits to location data, including many country/state/national park entries. 2. Map search/zoom behavior updates • Search now jumps on submit, with logic for exact location vs citywide vs countrywide zoom behavior. 3. Location loading/data robustness • Filtering/decoding hardening for location records and enum fallbacks. 4. Broad project-wide uncommitted edits • Many UI/services/assets/project files are modified or newly added (app icons, launch assets, multiple views/services, project settings).

Locations & Discovery • Curated location browser loaded from a local JSON file, with search, category filters, and distance filtering via GPS • Location detail pages with MapKit, sun path overlays (sunrise/sunset azimuths), hourly weather (NWS API), and public photo galleries aggregated from Unsplash, Wikimedia, Flickr, and Pexels Scouting Workspace (premium) • Scouting photos, audio notes (AVFoundation), shoot planning, inspiration browser, and calendar integration (EventKit) AI Assistant (premium, iOS 26+) • On-device chat using Apple's Foundation​Models (System​Language​Model), scoped to photography and camera advice Key Services • Weather​Service — NWS forecasts and active weather alerts • Solar​Calculator — Sunrise/sunset times and azimuths • Image​Cache​Service — URL-based image caching • Subscription​Manager — StoreKit 2 with a 3-day free trial gate ($4.99/month or $50/year) • Gallery​Service — Multi-source public photo aggregation Architecture: SwiftUI + SwiftData, Location​Store/Shoot​Store as environment objects, dark navy/neon-blue theme, portrait-only on iPhone.

Frame Scout Change Log Bug Fixes Swift 6 Concurrency Warning Fixed a MainActor isolated Decodable conformance warning in UnsplashService by implementing a nonisolated init(from:) in a separate extension. Compass and Horizon Stability Fixed the AR Sun Tracker compass spinning erratically and the horizon line bouncing. Applied separate smoothing rates for azimuth versus attitude, added shortest path roll correction to prevent 0 and 360 degree flipping, clamped roll to plus or minus 90 degrees, and added SwiftUI spring animations for smoother motion. Removed compass direction labels and the horizon line entirely. Unsplash API Key Diagnosed and fixed the Unsplash API key not reaching the app at runtime. The INFOPLIST_KEY_UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY build setting was conflicting with the manual plist substitution. Removed the conflicting setting and added the key as a compile time fallback in the service. Location Data Updates Coordinate Corrections Nelson Ghost Town corrected GPS to 35.70992, 114.80343 Valley of Fire corrected GPS to 36.41318, 114.54786 New Locations Added El Dorado Dry Lakebed 35.87858, 114.93444 North Las Vegas Dry Lakebed 36.45641, 114.87134 4x4 advisory Colorado River Overlook 35.70921, 114.71083 Description Updates Nellis Dunes description rewritten to emphasize 4x4 required, high clearance vehicles only, updated tags, clearance recommendation, and cell signal quality New Features Inspiration Tab Scouting Added a new Inspiration segment to the Scouting tab. Photographers can search Unsplash directly with a search bar, tap suggested query chips such as golden hour, milky way, coastal cliffs, browse results in a two column grid with photographer name badges, and tap any photo for a full screen view with a link to the photographer’s Unsplash profile. Per Location Photo Control Added a hidePublicPhotos field to the Location model. Setting hidePublicPhotos true on any location in locations.json disables Unsplash and Wikimedia photo fetching for that location entirely. Useful for locations where generic search results do not match. Photographer Attribution on Photos Unsplash photos in the location detail view now show the photographer’s name on the thumbnail overlay. Tapping to full screen shows the photographer name as a tappable link to their Unsplash profile. Wikipedia and Wikimedia photos do not show a name. UI and Theming Dark Navy Theme Applied Globally All screens now use the same dark navy gradient background as the Favorites page Notes and Shoots tab Audio Notes tab Contact form Parks and Nature tab Location Detail view Admin Gallery Review view AI Assistant Worldwide Scope Removed the Las Vegas only restriction from the AI Assistant. It now works for photography locations anywhere in the world, with globally applicable suggested prompts such as national parks, astrophotography, coastal landscapes, and road trips. Public Photos Better Search Relevance Changed the Unsplash query strategy to include the location name alongside tags, anchoring results geographically. Previously only tags were used, which caused unrelated photos to appear, such as Venetian canal photos on a Las Vegas parking garage rooftop.
