Could not create the Preferences Core Data container in the App Group
because sub-directories did not exist. Create them upfront when using
App Group URLs.
This was not an issue with other Core Data containers because they are
stored in the app directories, where "Library/Documents" already exists.
Restore CDModulePreferencesV3 to track the history of module prefrences.
This way, excluded endpoints may be saved globally to Core Data as a
starting point. Then in Profile.userInfo we only save the relevant
exclusions for the current configuration.
The .excludedEndpoints relationship is therefore moved out of
CDProviderPreferencesV3.
Further refactoring:
- ModuleViewParameters now includes a ModulePreferences observable that
module views can observe
- Tunnel doesn't need access to PreferencesManager anymore (exclusions
are in Profile.userInfo)
Store module preferences in the Profile.userInfo field for atomicity.
Access and modification are dramatically simplified, and synchronization
comes for free.
On the other side, fix provider preferences synchronization by using
viewContext for the CloudKit container.
Fixes#992
- Save/rollback was done outside of MOC
- Use different contexts for module/provider preferences
- Save providers → also saves modules
- Discard modules → also discards providers
- Use background context because it's not automatically merged (can
rollback)
- Expose ModulePreferences in OpenVPNView as StateObject
- Rework Blacklist to a more reusable ObservableList
- Reapply #988
Exclude endpoints from OpenVPN modules and providers with the generic
Blacklist<T> observable. Eventually, rebuild the Profile in
PacketTunnelProvider (via DefaultTunnelProcessor) with the applied
exclusions from preferences.
Revisit approach to preferences:
- Module preferences
- Tied to the module and therefore to the parent profile
- Load/save in ProfileEditor on request (rather than on
ProfileEditor.load)
- Provider preferences
- Shared globally across profiles
- Load/save in module view if needed
For more consistency with Core Data:
- Revert to observables for both module and provider preferences
- Treat excluded endpoints as relationships rather than a serialized
Array
- Add/remove single relationships over bulk delete + re-add
- Do not map the relationships, Blacklist only needs exists/add/remove:
- isExcludedEndpoint
- addExcludedEndpoint
- removeExcludedEndpoint
Some clean-up:
- Move the importer logic to OpenVPNView.ImportModifier
- Move the preview data to OpenVPN.Configuration.Builder.forPreviews
- Drop objectWillChange.send() on .repository didSet to avoid potential
recursion during SwiftUI updates
Closes#971
Simplify preferences model by doing a bulk load/save together with
load/save Profile. ModulePreferences is now a struct rather than an
ObservableObject, because it doesn't need ad hoc observation. It's just
a binding to ProfileEditor.preferences
Fix:
- Disable CloudKit in tunnel singleton of PreferencesManager
(.sharedForTunnel)
Additionally:
- Replace MainActor in PreferencesManager with Sendable (immutable)
- Replace MainActor from ProviderPreferencesRepository with Sendable
(syncs on NSManagedObjectContext)
- Drop ModuleMetadata for good
Replace favorites entities with a PreferencesManager, that returns
observables for:
- Module preferences (by module UUID)
- Provider preferences (by ProviderID)
Automate preferences availability in:
- Module views (empty for now)
- VPN server view (favorites)
Synchronize preferences by making this a CloudKit container. Preferences
are also available in the Tunnel by storing the container in the App
Group.
Let the AppCoordinator take care of the connection requirements via
modals:
- onInteractiveLogin() - now presented on AppError
- onProviderEntityRequired()
- onPurchaseRequired()
- Any other connection error
Subviews must not use tunnel.connect(), rather they route connection
requests via the ConnectionFlow callbacks. In particular, migrate to the
AppCoordinator the connection logic from:
- TunnelToggleButton.perform()
- ProviderEntitySelector.onSelect()
onInteractiveLogin() and onPurchaseRequired() are now handled
internally, while onProviderEntityRequired() is kept public because it's
how subviews may present the entity selector.
Extras:
- Avoid modals overlap with a 500ms delay
- Shrink interactive login size on macOS
Some providers require specific credentials for OpenVPN, different from
account credentials. Update the API index with this information to show
an information footer and possibly a link to the OpenVPN credentials.
Also, fix the OTP footer not appearing on macOS.
