Building

Requires XcodeGen to generate the project:

xcodegen generate
xcodebuild -scheme IceGlass -configuration Debug build                                                    # macOS
xcodebuild -scheme IceGlass-iOS -configuration Debug -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17 Pro' build

Architecture

Two targets sharing a common data layer (Shared/) and platform-specific UI:

• Shared/ — MainService, ApiService, AppSettings, NHLDataCache, models, Date/Time/Logger helpers
• IceGlass/ — macOS-only managers (MenuManager, StatusItemManager, NotificationManager, AboutWindow)
• IceGlass-iOS/ — SwiftUI views, ScoreboardViewModel (@Observable)

MainService exposes a MainServiceObserver protocol; each platform installs its own adapter to bridge data updates into AppKit (macOS) or @Observable invalidation (iOS). Data is fetched from the NHL Web API (api-web.nhle.com/v1/scoreboard/now, /standings/{date}, /playoff-bracket/{year}).
