Fixes #12823

What Changed

  • apps/mobile/src/lib/projectFaviconAppearance.ts (new): resolveSvgAppearance(svg, scheme) resolves @media (prefers-color-scheme: …) blocks in the SVG's <style> (keeps the matching branch, drops the other) and substitutes currentColor with the resolved color (:root{color:…} / <svg color="…">, falling back to #000). resolveFaviconUrlAppearance(url, scheme) applies that to data:image/svg+xml;base64, URLs and passes everything else through unchanged.
  • ProjectFaviconImage reads themeAppearance from useAppearancePreferences() and hands expo-image the rewritten data URL (keyed by the resolved URL so it re-decodes when the scheme flips). The edit is confined to ProjectFaviconImage.
  • Loader fix: createProjectFaviconImageLoader and the mobile downscaleProjectFavicon called signal.throwIfAborted(), which React Native's AbortSignal polyfill doesn't implement. On device the loader always threw undefined is not a function, the cache silently fell back to the remote asset URL, and no SVG was ever inlined. Replaced with if (signal.aborted) throw … (same pattern filePreview.ts already uses). Without this the rewrite never sees the SVG bytes.
  • Focused tests for the pure helper.

Why

CoreSVG on iOS (and expo-image's Android SVG decoder) don't evaluate prefers-color-scheme media queries or currentColor, so an adaptive icon like the one in #12823 rasterizes black regardless of the app theme. Browsers do, which is why web/desktop are fine.

Options considered:

  • (a) Ask the server for a scheme-specific SVG (query param): needs a contract + server change, per-scheme cache entries, and still decodes the same bytes natively. Larger surface for the same result.
  • (b) Chosen: rewrite the SVG text client-side before it reaches expo-image. Mobile already inlines small SVGs as base64 data URLs, so the bytes are at hand, the change stays inside mobile asset rendering, it reacts live to theme changes, and it covers both iOS and Android since both go through the same code path. No dependencies added.
  • (c) Tint: would recolor multicolor icons and only makes sense for monochrome glyphs, so it's a regression for normal favicons.

Related: #12810 touches the top of ProjectFavicon.tsx (explicit projectIcon glyph rendering). This PR only edits ProjectFaviconImage and the loader, so both can land independently; that PR's changes are not included here.

Verified on iPhone 17 Simulator (iOS 26) with the issue's SVG + t3.json, toggling xcrun simctl ui … appearance live. Android untested (no emulator available on this machine).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Project favicons now adapt correctly to the app’s light or dark appearance settings, including inline SVG icons with theme-specific colors.
    • Favicon rendering now uses the appearance-adjusted image source for more consistent display.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of cancelled project icon downloads with clearer cancellation errors.
    • Non-SVG favicon URLs, including PNG and HTTPS sources, continue to work unchanged.

🟡 Medium lib/projectFaviconAppearance.ts:29

Valid SVG media queries are rewritten incorrectly: uppercase @MEDIA queries are left for the native decoder, while not and compound prefers-color-scheme conditions are treated as simple matches. This causes the wrong color branch to be baked into the favicon (or leaves it unprocessed) in dark or light mode. Use case-insensitive at-rule scanning and evaluate the full media-query condition rather than matching only light|dark in the prelude.

🟡 Medium lib/projectFaviconAppearance.ts:50

resolveSvgAppearance assigns the last color: declaration found in any <style> block to every currentColor occurrence, so element/class-specific colors are lost. For example, both paths in the reported SVG are rewritten to red, even though the first path inherits #fff; preserve the cascade per element or skip rewriting SVGs with multiple inherited color contexts.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This runtime fix adds a bespoke SVG media-query and color-resolution path used by mobile project icons, along with a shared loader cancellation change. The implementation is broader than a trivial rendering tweak and has unresolved edge-case concerns in the new parser.

Resolve color declarations only from applicable selectors.

This loop selects the last color declaration from every CSS rule. It does not check whether the selector applies to the SVG root or the element that uses currentColor.

For example, :root{color:white}.label{color:red} makes an unrelated path use red. Resolve the applicable :root or svg declaration, or preserve per-element CSS inheritance.

Add a regression test with an unrelated class-level color declaration.

Replace only complete currentColor values.

The global replacement also changes identifiers, URLs, text, and other substrings.

For example, an SVG with id="currentColor", fill="url(#currentColor)", and stroke="currentColor" gets invalid reference values such as url(##000). Restrict replacement to complete CSS or presentation-property values.
