Grand Rapids Basketball gives players, coaches, families, and event staff a fast mobile companion for tournament day. Open an event, check featured games, browse schedules by court or pool, view team schedules, scan standings, find venues, and follow bracket progress from one phone-friendly app.

The app is designed for quick use in gyms and between games, with a clean interface, large tap targets, and offline app shell caching for fast repeat access.

## Required Store Assets

Create production raster exports before upload:

- App icon: 1024 x 1024 PNG, no transparency
- Android adaptive icon foreground/background
- Feature graphic for Google Play: 1024 x 500 PNG or JPG
- Phone screenshots: at least 2 per store, recommended 6.5-inch iPhone and Android phone sizes
- Optional tablet screenshots if tablet support is enabled

The source icon art is in `assets/icon.svg` and `assets/icon-maskable.svg`.

## Native Packaging Path

Use Capacitor when this becomes a real store package:

1. Host or build the web app assets.
2. Install Capacitor in a project folder.
3. Set app ID to `com.grbasketball.mobile`.
4. Add Android and iOS platforms.
5. Replace generated icons and splash images with production PNG assets.
6. Build signed Android App Bundle for Google Play.
7. Archive signed iOS app in Xcode for App Store Connect.

Typical commands once Node dependencies are available:

```sh
npm install @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli
npx cap init "Grand Rapids Basketball" "com.grbasketball.mobile" --web-dir .
npx cap add android
npx cap add ios
npx cap sync
```
