[Woo POS] Bump minimum required WC version to 9.6, replace local products filters with downloadable parameter, page size 25

[jaclync]

Closes: #1483

Description

This pull request updates products and variations and filtering criteria based on the latest decision pdfdoF-62l-p2#comment-7224. It removes the virtual local filter (as we want to show virtual products), replaces the downloadable local filter with a parameter in the API request that works for WC versions 9.6+, and updates the page size from 100 to 25 for products and variations requests.

Regarding the page size, I tested with the smallest font size on the tallest iOS device available - iPad Pro 13 in' so far in iOS 18.2. The minimum amount of items to fill the scroll view in portrait is 10. Even so, I picked 25 to match Android. Please feel free to share any thoughts on the page size.

🗒️ It's likely we will update the minimum WC version requirement to 9.6 for POS based on p1736485809856869/1736484154.214279-slack-C070SJRA8DP. Since 9.6 is still in beta 2 at the time of writing, we will postpone the version requirement bump until the version is publicly released.

Pagination and Product Parameters:

• Networking/Networking/Remote/ProductVariationsRemote.swift: Changed the variationsPerPage constant from 100 to 25.
• Networking/Networking/Remote/ProductsRemote.swift: Added the downloadable parameter to the request and updated the productsPerPage constant from 100 to 25. [1] [2] [3]

Test Updates:

• Networking/NetworkingTests/Remote/ProductsRemoteTests.swift: Added a new test to verify that the downloadable parameter is set correctly in the loadProductsForPointOfSale method.

Filtering Criteria:

• Yosemite/Yosemite/PointOfSale/PointOfSaleItemService.swift: Removed the isNotVirtual and isNotDownloadable filtering functions and criteria. [1] [2]

Steps to reproduce

• Switch to a store eligible for POS, has at least one variable and downloadable product, and has WC version >= 9.6
• Go to Menu > Point of Sale mode --> the downloadable product should not be included, and all simple products in the list should have a price
• Tap on a variable product --> variations should be loaded shortly, up to 25 per page

Testing information

• @jaclync tests that the products are loaded without the downloadable filter for stores on WC version < 9.6

Screenshots

Notice that the downloadable products are filtered out.

This works as described. However, I think based on pdfdoF-62l-p2#comment-7285 it could be also expanded or done in another PR:

• Allow no-price products
• Restrict POS entry from 9.6+

[staskus]

Based on pdfdoF-62l-p2#comment-7285, this one can be removed as well 👍

Potential latest decision: p1736504688523299/1736484154.214279-slack-C070SJRA8DP

• Empty-price and free products should be shown in POS
• Virtual products should be shown in POS
• Let's limit it to version 9.6+, but we need to ensure that it won't get released unless WooCommerce 9.6 is publicly available

Based on the proposed decision above, I will wait for WC 9.6 to be released this week before making all the changes:

• Remove empty price filter
• Update minimum WC version to 9.6

WC 9.6 is still not publicly available as of today. As I'm AFK after this Friday, I'm trying to get the PR ready for merge first and it can be merged when 9.6 is in GA.

@staskus it's not urgent, this PR is ready for review again with the changes in #14843 (comment).

Unit tests are failing, please skip the review for now and I'll update when it's ready for review again.

TTP education tests should hopefully succeed if you merge now with trunk.
