description	Capacitor native app guide — Android/iOS toolchain setup (macOS + Linux), build/sign/run commands, on-device testing, Chrome remote profiling, and the store release & kids-compliance checklists. Use before touching anything Android, iOS, or Capacitor related.

Splotch — Native App (Capacitor) Guide

Splotch ships as native Android and iOS apps via Capacitor, bundling the same SvelteKit code as a static, offline-first shell. The web app (splotch.art) is unchanged and still deploys to Netlify.

This guide is split into three files — read the one that matches your task:

• native.md — start here. How the static native build works, offline vs. online behavior, dual-layer storage, the data/privacy posture the stores ask about, shared store-listing assets, the kids-compliance baseline, and cross-platform follow-ups.
• android.md — Android toolchain setup (macOS + Linux), build/sign/run commands, on-device web testing, Chrome remote profiling, and the Google Play release + Families-policy checklist.
• ios.md — iOS toolchain setup (macOS + Xcode, SPM not CocoaPods), build/run commands, Safari Web Inspector, and the App Store release + Kids-Category checklist.

Both platforms are active and committed (android/, ios/). Android builds on macOS or Linux; iOS requires macOS + Xcode. The CAPACITOR=true build env var is the single signal for all web-vs-native branching (see the root CLAUDE.md).
