Navi Live

Navi Live is an accessibility-first walking navigation project focused on blind and low-vision users.

Project structure:

• android/ - Android application source
• native-ios/ - native iOS application source, App Store Connect material, and iOS publishing docs
• shared/ - shared product rules used to generate platform-specific constants for Android and iOS
  • shared/test-fixtures/ also holds parity fixtures consumed by Android and iOS tests
• NAVILIVE_SPEC.md - product and architecture specification
• NAVILIVE_UX_BLUEPRINT.md - UX blueprint reconstructed from archived ViaOpta materials
• NAVILIVE_ANDROID_BACKLOG.md - current Android implementation backlog
• screens/ - supporting reference images and archived screen material
• docs/lokalizacja-radiowa-android.md - opis pomocniczego skanowania Wi-Fi/BLE na Androidzie

cd android
.\gradlew.bat assembleDebug

APK output:

android\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk

Staged release asset:

iOS TestFlight publish:

.\scripts\Publish-NaviLive-iOS-TestFlight.ps1

Technical note:

• Android namespace and source packages now use com.navilive.android.
• applicationId intentionally remains com.navilive.app so existing installs continue to receive in-place updates.
• Shared product tuning now starts in shared/product-rules.json and is generated into native Android/iOS code.
• Shared parity fixtures now live in shared/test-fixtures/navigation-parity-fixtures.json and are exercised by both Android and iOS unit tests.
• Shared cross-platform parity now also covers navigation scenario decisions such as countdown milestones, immediate turn timing, step advance, off-route detection, and auto-recalculation cooldown behavior.
• Walking guidance now uses a small lead distance before maneuvers, a less aggressive off-route threshold, and faster Android location updates to reduce late turn announcements.
• Pedestrian crossing alerts are filtered more strictly so side crossings and nearby cycle-path crossings are less likely to replace actual turn instructions.
• Active navigation on Android exposes the route step list so screen reader users can review current and upcoming instructions during guidance.
• Shake-to-repeat now requires a stronger motion spike and a longer cooldown to reduce accidental repeats from a phone carried in a pocket.
