Add iOS/iPadOS proof of concept with SwiftUI implementation

[Copilot]

Created a complete proof of concept for running Integra Live on iOS/iPadOS using Swift and SwiftUI. The application maintains protocol compatibility with the existing C++ server while adapting the UI for touch-based interaction.

Implementation

Application Structure (~1,649 lines Swift)

• Tab-based navigation following iOS HIG
• 5 main views: Arrange (timeline), Live (performance), Module Library, Settings, Content (coordinator)
• Touch-optimized controls (44pt minimum targets, pinch/swipe/drag gestures)
• Safe area handling, responsive layouts (iPhone/iPad), Light/Dark mode

Architecture

• MVVM with @MainActor isolated ObservableObject for thread-safe state
• Async/await networking (XMLRPC over TCP, OSC over UDP)
• Value types (structs) for models matching existing Project → Track → Block → Module hierarchy
• Network-only client (connects to Integra Server on Mac/PC via WiFi)

Communication Layer

• XMLRPC client: getAvailableModules(), createObject(), setEndpointValue(), loadProject(), saveProject()
• OSC receiver: /integra/value_change, /integra/object_created, /integra/object_deleted, /integra/object_renamed
• Foundation URLSession + Network framework

Key Differences from macOS Version

• Navigation: TabView vs NavigationSplitView sidebar
• Input: Touch gestures vs mouse/keyboard
• Modals: Sheet presentations vs separate windows
• Server: Network connection only (no bundled server)

// iOS touch-first pattern
@main
struct IntegraLiveiOSApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()  // Tab-based navigation
                .environmentObject(AppState())
        }
    }
}

Documentation

• README.md: Architecture diagrams, feature list, build instructions, 5-phase migration roadmap
• QUICKSTART.md: 5-minute setup guide
• ARCHITECTURE.md: Layer details, data flow, threading model, security considerations
• COMPARISON.md: iOS vs macOS implementation differences
• DELIVERABLES.md: Complete summary with metrics

Testing

• 13 unit tests covering model creation, Codable encoding/decoding, state management
• Project builds in Swift Package Manager (requires Xcode 15+ on macOS to compile SwiftUI)

The POC demonstrates feasibility and establishes architecture for full iOS/iPadOS implementation. Compatible with existing server protocol—no server changes required.

Original prompt

I want to run this on iPadOS. We should use Swift or the most aproriate langauge . All of the application functionality should be migrated over.

Create a proof of concept which runs and has the structure ready for the complete migration of the rest of the code.
