iOS App (Node)

Overview

The iOS app connects to a Gateway via WebSocket, exposing node capabilities including Canvas rendering, screen snapshots, camera capture, location access, and voice features.

Key Requirements

A Gateway must run on a separate device (macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2). Connection options include same-network Bonjour discovery, Tailnet via DNS-SD, or manual host/port entry.

Setup Process

Users start the Gateway on port 18789, select it in iOS Settings, then approve the pairing request via command line. The openclaw nodes status command verifies successful connection.

Discovery Methods

The system supports three connection approaches:

  • Bonjour: Advertises _openclaw-gw._tcp on local. for LAN environments
  • Tailnet: Uses unicast DNS-SD for cross-network scenarios
  • Manual: Configuration as a fallback

Canvas Functionality

The iOS node uses WKWebView for rendering. Users can navigate to URLs, execute JavaScript through canvas.eval, and capture snapshots using the node invocation system.

Voice Capabilities

Voice wake and talk mode options appear in Settings, though background audio suspension may limit reliability when the app isn't active.

Troubleshooting

Common issues include:

  • NODE_BACKGROUND_UNAVAILABLE - Requires foreground app status
  • Missing canvas host configuration
  • Pairing prompts not appearing
  • Reconnection failures after reinstall due to cleared Keychain tokens
