Description

One Line Summary

Move the iOS demo app to the Capacitor 8 scene template, so it matches what cap add ios generates for new apps.

Details

Motivation

The demo still used the older no-scene AppDelegate with a storyboard. Capacitor 8 apps create CAPBridgeViewController in SceneDelegate, after launch, which changes when the bridge and its notification routing come up. Running the demo and the E2E suite against the current template keeps them representative of customer apps. This is part of SDK-5499 (cold-start tap coverage); the shared E2E test is SDK-5501.

Stacked on #71.

Scope

• SceneDelegate.swift (new, copied from Capacitor 8.5.2 ios-spm-template) and registered in the Xcode project.
• AppDelegate.swift replaced with the template version: it returns the scene configuration, and URL / user-activity handling moves to SceneDelegateProxy in SceneDelegate.
• Info.plist gets UIApplicationSceneManifest, matching the template.
• handleApplicationNotifications: false stays, since it is the documented OneSignal setup. Added a comment explaining that without it Capacitor's NotificationRouter becomes the notification delegate and suppresses foreground display.
• Demo app only. No SDK, plugin, or Android changes. demo_pods and demo_cap7 are unchanged.

Testing

Unit testing

Not applicable (demo app config only).

Manual testing

iOS 26.2 simulator, Capacitor 8.5.3, SPM demo:

• App launches normally, and SceneDelegate is the active scene delegate.
• Foreground notification is displayed while the app is open.
• Cold-start tap (app killed, simctl push with launch URL, tap banner): click fires and the launch URL opens (with fix: [SDK-5461] cold-start tap capture on scene apps and launch URL replay #71).
• vp check passes on capacitor.config.ts.

Not blocking, but SceneDelegateProxy only exists from Capacitor 8.5.0 on, and the demo still allows ^8.3.0. Older demo installs keep their locked version through vp install. I hit this locally in a demo app run since I had 8.3.2 still installed, and vp run ios fails here with cannot find 'SceneDelegateProxy' in scope.

Might be worth bumping @capacitor/core, @capacitor/ios, @capacitor/android and @capacitor/cli to ^8.5.0 in examples/demo/package.json, and committing the regenerated Package.swift too.
