fix(tvOS): reliable device-code login and VPN profile selection#192CicerBro wants to merge 7 commits into
Conversation
Update TVMainView to use the tvOS 17-compatible SwiftUI onChange closure forms while preserving the existing state handling behavior.
IPC for LoginTV only reaches a running extension, but startTunnel used to fail immediately when login was required. Park the start until auth completes, boot the extension from performLogin, and persist the post-login config into the extension-local client.
Matching only on localizedDescription can pick up stale VPN profiles from another install. Prefer the current providerBundleIdentifier and remove leftover configs that point at a missing provider.
TVAuthView's 2s poll timer sent two identical IsLoginComplete messages per tick: checkLoginError decoded LoginDiagnostics for the error, then checkLoginComplete re-fetched the same payload for completion. Replace both adapter methods with a single checkLoginDiagnostics call and move the friendly-error mapping to a LoginDiagnostics.friendlyError property, so error and completion are derived from one atomic response.

Pull request overview
This PR improves tvOS device-code authentication reliability by keeping the Network Extension alive during login (“parked” startTunnel), consolidating login polling into a single diagnostics IPC, and preventing VPN profile mismatches by selecting/removing configurations based on providerBundleIdentifier rather than display name alone.
Changes:
- Park
startTunnelduring tvOS device-code auth and resume it afterLoginTVsucceeds; tear down cleanly on cancel / session expiry. - Replace dual IPC polling (
checkLoginComplete+checkLoginError) with a singlecheckLoginDiagnosticsround-trip plus user-friendly error mapping. - Select/clean VPN configs by
providerBundleIdentifierto avoid binding to stale configurations from other installs/bundle IDs; update tvOS 17onChangeusage.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| NetBirdTVNetworkExtension/PacketTunnelProvider.swift | Parks startTunnel until auth completes, adds parked-start watchdog and cancel teardown, and avoids repeated expensive login checks while parked. |
| NetbirdNetworkExtension/NetBirdAdapter.swift | Persists tvOS post-login config to extension-local storage and loads it into the running SDK client so parked tunnels can proceed. |
| NetbirdKit/RoutesSelectionDetails.swift | Adds LoginDiagnostics.friendlyError to translate raw SDK errors into user-facing messages. |
| NetbirdKit/NetworkExtensionAdapter.swift | Matches/removes VPN configs by provider bundle ID; boots the tunnel before tvOS device auth; consolidates polling into checkLoginDiagnostics. |
| NetBird/Source/App/Views/TV/TVMainView.swift | On auth cancel, explicitly stops the parked extension; updates login completion flow and switches to diagnostics polling. |
| NetBird/Source/App/Views/TV/TVAuthView.swift | Reworks polling to use diagnostics in a single IPC response; updates preview accordingly. |
| NetBird/Source/App/ViewModels/MainViewModel.swift | Updates tvOS IPC reference in documentation comment (checkLoginDiagnostics). |

Blocking1. Data race on Both are plain stored properties, but they are touched from at least five contexts with no synchronization:
guard let pending = pendingStartCompletion else { return }
pendingStartCompletion = nilwhich is check-then-act. The realistic collision isn't the 5-minute watchdog — it's cancellation: this PR adds Suggested shape — one serial queue owning both properties, and a single "take" that can only succeed once: private let parkedStartQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "io.netbird.tv.parkedStart")
private var pendingStartCompletion: ((Error?) -> Void)? // guarded by parkedStartQueue
private var pendingStartWatchdog: DispatchWorkItem? // guarded by parkedStartQueue
/// Atomically claims the parked start. Returns nil if someone else already took it.
private func takePendingStart() -> ((Error?) -> Void)? {
parkedStartQueue.sync {
pendingStartWatchdog?.cancel()
pendingStartWatchdog = nil
let pending = pendingStartCompletion
pendingStartCompletion = nil
return pending
}
}
Questions before merge2. Does NE tolerate a 5-minute parked start? (needs a device)

306-319: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winInvalidate the poll timer in the initial check.
The initial check calls
onCompleteHandler?()but does not invalidatepollTimer. The timer stays scheduled untilonDisappearruns. If the first tick fires before dismissal completes,onCompleteruns twice. InTVMainView,onCompletecan then callstartVPNConnection()a second time, becauseviewModel.extensionStateis refreshed only by the 3-second polling cycle.♻️ Proposed fix
checkDiagnostics { diag in DispatchQueue.main.async { let isComplete = diag?.isComplete ?? false `#if` DEBUG print("TVAuthView: Initial check - login complete = \(isComplete)") `#endif` if isComplete { `#if` DEBUG print("TVAuthView: Login already complete, dismissing auth view") `#endif` + timer.invalidate() onCompleteHandler?() } } }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

What this fixes
Device-code connect/login on tvOS was unreliable, and VPN profile lookup could bind the wrong extension.
startTunnelfailed as soon as login was required, so auth had no live extension and users had to connect again after login. Cancel could leave a parked extension until the watchdog.IsLoginCompleteIPCs per timer tick; error and completion could disagree between round-trips.localizedDescriptioncould attach to a stale profile from another install or bundle ID.onChangeAPI cleanup in the same login UI surfaces.Change
