| 1 | +# Install FoodFinder + LoopInsights + AutoPresets |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Add AI-powered food analysis, therapy settings insights, and automatic preset management to your Loop app — compatible with Loop & Learn customizations. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Prerequisites |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- **Xcode 15+** (15.4 recommended) |
| 8 | +- **iOS 17+** on your target device |
| 9 | +- **macOS** with git and python3 (both ship with Xcode Command Line Tools) |
| 10 | +- **API key** for AI features (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google — configured in-app after install) |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Step 1: Clone LoopWorkspace |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Follow the standard Loop build instructions: |
| 15 | +https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/build/step4/ |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +```bash |
| 18 | +git clone --branch=main --recurse-submodules https://github.com/LoopKit/LoopWorkspace |
| 19 | +cd LoopWorkspace |
| 20 | +``` |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Step 2: Apply Loop & Learn Customizations (Optional) |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +If you want L&L customizations (Profiles, Basal Lock, Negative Insulin, etc.), apply them **before** running the feature installer: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +https://www.loopandlearn.org/custom-code/ |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +All L&L patches are compatible with our features. The installer automatically adapts to whatever patches are present. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Step 3: Install Features |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +From the LoopWorkspace root directory: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +```bash |
| 35 | +/bin/bash Scripts/install_features.sh |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Or, if you haven't cloned this repository yet: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +```bash |
| 41 | +curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TaylorJPatterson/LoopWorkspace/feat/installer/Scripts/install_features.sh -o /tmp/install_features.sh |
| 42 | +curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TaylorJPatterson/LoopWorkspace/feat/installer/Scripts/update_pbxproj.py -o Scripts/update_pbxproj.py |
| 43 | +/bin/bash /tmp/install_features.sh |
| 44 | +``` |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The script will: |
| 47 | +1. Validate your environment |
| 48 | +2. Back up your current state (git stash) |
| 49 | +3. Fetch the feature source code |
| 50 | +4. Install 77 new files and patch 11 existing files |
| 51 | +5. Update the Xcode project file |
| 52 | +6. Validate everything |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +## Step 4: Build in Xcode |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +1. Open `LoopWorkspace.xcworkspace` in Xcode |
| 57 | +2. Select your signing team |
| 58 | +3. Build and run (Cmd+R) |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Step 5: Enable Features in Settings |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +All features are **off by default**. Enable them in the Loop app: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +- **FoodFinder**: Settings → FoodFinder → Toggle on. Enter your AI API key. |
| 65 | +- **LoopInsights**: Settings → LoopInsights → Toggle on. Same API key is shared. |
| 66 | +- **AutoPresets**: Settings → AutoPresets → Configure motion detection and preset rules. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +## Updating |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +To update to the latest feature version: |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +1. Run the rollback: `./Scripts/install_features.sh --rollback` |
| 73 | +2. Re-run the installer: `./Scripts/install_features.sh` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +## Uninstalling |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +```bash |
| 78 | +./Scripts/install_features.sh --rollback |
| 79 | +``` |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +This removes all feature files and restores your Loop to its pre-install state (including any L&L patches you had applied). |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +## L&L Compatibility |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +| L&L Customization | Compatible | Notes | |
| 86 | +|---|---|---| |
| 87 | +| Profiles | Yes | Our features insert below Profiles in Settings | |
| 88 | +| Basal Lock | Yes | Different code regions than our features | |
| 89 | +| Negative Insulin | Yes | Different code regions than our features | |
| 90 | +| Future Carbs 4h | Yes | Both modify CarbEntryView.swift but in different regions; 3-way merge handles it | |
| 91 | +| Override Insulin Needs Picker | Yes | No overlapping files | |
| 92 | +| All other L&L patches | Yes | Our installer only modifies Loop submodule files | |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +**"Anchor not found" error**: Your Loop version may be too old or too new. The installer targets Loop dev branch (v3.10.x). Make sure you cloned the latest LoopWorkspace. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +**Merge conflicts during patching**: If the installer reports conflicts, check the affected file for `<<<<<<<` conflict markers and resolve them manually. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +**Xcode build errors after install**: Try a clean build (Cmd+Shift+K, then Cmd+R). If issues persist, run `--rollback` and re-install. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +**plutil validation failure**: The Xcode project file update failed. The installer automatically restores the backup. Try again — if it persists, file an issue. |
