## What is LoxBridge?

LoxBridge is the missing link between your Apple Watch and Livelox.

Finish a run. Put your watch down. LoxBridge handles the rest.

The moment your outdoor workout ends, LoxBridge wakes up in the background, extracts the full GPS route, and sends it to Livelox — ready for analysis before you've even caught your breath.

-------------------------
BUILT FOR ORIENTEERS
-------------------------
Whether you're chasing a course record in the forest or scouting a new area, every GPS track tells a story. LoxBridge makes sure none of them get lost.

-------------------------
COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC
-------------------------
• Detects new workouts instantly with the Apple Watch App
• Extracts your GPS track and converts it to industry-standard GPX format
• Sends a notification — one tap to upload, or let it retry automatically next time you open the app
• Stores all routes locally so nothing is ever lost

-------------------------
PRIVACY FIRST
-------------------------
• No backend server, no tracking. 
• Your GPS data goes directly from your watch or phone to Livelox — nowhere else
• Open about what it accesses: full privacy policy available in-app and online

-------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------
• A Livelox account (free at livelox.com)
• An Apple Watch that records Outdoor Run workouts with GPS
• iPhone running iOS 24 or later

-------------------------
HOW IT WORKS
-------------------------
1. Connect your Livelox account once in Settings
2. Record an Outdoor Run on your Apple Watch as usual
3. Receive a notification when the route is ready
4. Tap "Upload" — done

LoxBridge is a lightweight utility built by and for orienteers. No subscriptions, no fluff — just your routes, where you need them.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.3 — 2026-07-08

-Bug fixes
GPS routes disappearing — The Watch app was silently discarding all location updates with accuracy worse than 50 m. In areas with poor sky visibility (dense forest, urban canyon, GPS cold-start), this meant allRecordedLocations ended up empty and no route was ever created, even for long runs. Fixed: any valid GPS fix (accuracy > 0) is now recorded. A slightly imprecise route is far better than no route.
Recording cut short by activity ring notification — When a calorie or move goal was reached mid-run, watchOS could end the HKWorkoutSession externally (via the "End Workout?" system prompt). The app kept showing an active workout, but the session was dead. Tapping Stop then failed silently and the route was lost. Fixed: the workout delegate now detects external termination and immediately finalises the recording, saving all GPS points collected up to that moment.

- Technical / internal
Fixed ~30 Swift 6 strict-concurrency warnings (LiveloxUploader, WorkoutObserver, WorkoutProcessor)
Fixed iOS 26 deprecations (UIWindow(), UIScreen.main, .timeSensitive notification option)
Build script now correctly marked as always-run so Xcode doesn't warn on every build

### 1.1.2 — 2026-05-18

Apple Watch transfer fixed
Routes recorded on Apple Watch were getting stuck on "Sending to iPhone…" and never appearing in the app. This is now fixed — routes transfer reliably as soon as the workout ends.

Start screen restored
The pre-workout screen (with GPS accuracy indicator) now always appears before you start a recording.

Start button no longer gets stuck
If HealthKit takes too long to respond, the spinner now resets automatically so you can try again. A Cancel button is also available while starting.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-05-12
