Mobile apps, QR & updates

1. Apps

• show me apps — catalog + install (TA5, RC1, SchoolLMS, …)
• Homepage / Powered Apps cards also show download QR codes for each APK (32/64 bit)
• Current hubs: TA5 1.6.32+41 · RC1 1.7.9+10 (32-bit + 64-bit only)
• check for update · update now · update later

After updating, nags stop when your build matches; otherwise reply got it. Hub publishes notify registered devices (poll / tray; FCM when configured).

2. Scan QR → full chat on the web (users)

Use the same BusinesSite phone profile in a browser without re-registering. Public pages start in Demo Mode until you scan; after link you get the full dashboard.

1. Install and log into the BusinesSite hub (TA5 or RC1) with phone + selfie.
2. On the computer, open https://businessite.online/businessite (large homepage QR) or /businessite/chat and leave that tab open (status: waiting for scan).
3. On the phone, in chat say: login to web · scan qr · link my phone to web · sync to web · web login (or tap the Login to web chip).
4. Allow camera permission. Point at the browser QR (businessite://web-chat-sync?session=…).
5. Phone shows linked. Browser shows Linked as Your Name, then opens /businessite/chat?linked=1 — the full chat (header with your name/phone, quick chips, voice, 📎 Photo). You should not stay on the yellow “Demo Mode - Limited Access” banner.

Shared history (web ↔ mobile)

After link, both sides use the same phone timeline (/businessite/chat/history). Web polls every few seconds; mobile syncs on open and in the background. Messages you send on web (e.g. product photo success) appear on the phone and vice versa. Avoid force-stopping the app if you want background update alerts.

Unlink / logout on web

• In full chat header: Unlink phone (confirm) — disconnects this browser only; mobile app profile stays.
• Or open /businessite/unlink_web_chat_session?redirect=1.
• Clears the browser session cookie and returns to public demo. Scan again to re-link.

Tips: Scan the QR on the same tab that is still open (do not close it mid-scan). If stuck on demo after link, hard-refresh or open /businessite/chat?linked=1. Cancel the scanner on the phone anytime.

3. Scan QR → support desk on mobile (providers)

Support agents can open the same desk on phone or use full web chat after linking:

1. On the web, open /businessite/support/profile (logged-in support) or link via homepage/chat QR as above for full web desk.
2. In the BusinesSite app, scan qr / login to web and scan that code.
3. Then use support desk, my tickets, next ticket, reply: …, mic for voice — owner-only delivery.

4. Closed-app update alerts

• Allow notifications and (Android) set battery to Unrestricted for BusinesSite.
• Open the app once after install so background poll (WorkManager) arms.
• Tray alerts for new hub builds appear while the app is closed (best-effort poll). True kill-state push needs FCM server key on the server.
• Reply got it after installing to clear the nag.
