## 🔴 High Priority

### 1. ⚠️ JWT Generation and Verification Status

- [x] **JWT Generation**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - TypeScript generates ES256K signed JWTs correctly
- [ ] **JWT Verification**: 🟡 **PARTIAL** - Generation works, but server verification fails

**Current Status** (2025-10-31):

**✅ JWT Generation (TypeScript)**:
- Using `did-jwt` library with ES256K algorithm ✓
- Signing with Ethereum private key from seed phrase ✓
- Correct payload structure (`iat`, `exp`, `iss`, `sub`, `aud`) ✓
- Location: `test-user-zero.ts` → `generateEndorserJWT()`

**🟡 JWT Verification Issue**:
- Error: `JWT failed verification: Error: invalid_signature: no matching public key found`
- **Root Cause**: Server cannot resolve DID to get public key for signature verification
- Server uses: `didJwt.verifyJWT(jwt, {resolver})` which requires DID resolution
- The JWT signature is cryptographically valid, but server can't verify it

**Problem**: DID `did:ethr:0x0000694B58C2cC69658993A90D3840C560f2F51F` may not be:
1. Registered on the resolver/blockchain that the server uses
2. Accessible by the server's DID resolver
3. Configured correctly in the test API server

**Next Steps** (to be verified):
- [ ] Verify DID registration: Ensure User Zero's DID is registered on resolver server uses
- [ ] Test with known DID: Try a DID that definitely exists in server's system
- [ ] Check server resolver config: Verify server's DID resolver can resolve `did:ethr:` DIDs
- [ ] Check test API server: If using `localhost:3000`, confirm it supports DID-based JWT verification

**Verification Status Table**:

| Component | Status | Notes |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| JWT Algorithm | ✅ Correct | ES256K (matches server expectation) |
| JWT Format | ✅ Correct | Proper structure and claims |
| JWT Signature | ✅ Valid | Signature is cryptographically valid |
| DID Resolution | ❌ Failing | Server can't resolve DID to public key |
| Overall Status | 🟡 Partial | Generation works; verification fails due to DID resolution |

**Investigation Results** (See `INVESTIGATION_JWT_ALGORITHM_RESULTS.md` for full details):

**✅ CONFIRMED**: Endorser-ch API uses **DID-based JWTs (ES256K)**, NOT HMAC-SHA256.

**TimeSafari Implementation** (`~/projects/timesafari/crowd-funder-for-time-pwa/src/libs/crypto/vc/index.ts`):
- Uses `did-jwt.createJWT()` with `SimpleSigner(privateKeyHex)`
- Signs with Ethereum private key from DID identity
- Algorithm: **ES256K** (default for did-jwt library)

**endorser-ch Verification** (`~/projects/timesafari/endorser-ch/src/api/services/vc/index.js`):
- Uses `did-jwt.verifyJWT(jwt, {resolver})` for verification
- Verifies signature using DID resolver (resolves DID to public key)
- **NO shared secret used** - authentication is DID-based

**✅ IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE**:
- TypeScript generates ES256K signed JWTs using `generateEndorserJWT()`
- Native fetcher receives pre-generated JWT token via `configureNativeFetcher()`
- No Java DID library needed - token generated in TypeScript with `did-jwt` library

**Current Architecture**:
1. TypeScript: `generateEndorserJWT()` → Creates ES256K signed JWT
2. TypeScript: `DailyNotification.configureNativeFetcher({ jwtToken })` → Passes token to native
3. Android: `TestNativeFetcher.configure()` → Stores JWT token
4. Android: Background worker uses stored JWT token for API requests

**Remaining Issue**: DID resolution on server side (see verification status above)

**Previous Implementation (REMOVED)**:
- ~~HMAC-SHA256 with shared secret~~ → Replaced with ES256K DID-based
- ~~Java DID library implementation~~ → Not needed (TypeScript generates token)

**Implementation Options (NO LONGER NEEDED - TypeScript handles it)**:

~~**Option 1: Use did-jwt-java Library (Recommended)**~~
```java
// DEPRECATED - TypeScript generates JWT now
// No longer needed in Java code
```

~~**Option 2: Use web3j for Ethereum Signing**~~
```java
// DEPRECATED - TypeScript generates JWT now
// No longer needed in Java code
    keyPair
);
// Then encode signature according to ES256K format for JWT
```

**References:**
- **Investigation Results**: See `INVESTIGATION_JWT_ALGORITHM_RESULTS.md` for complete findings
- **TimeSafari Implementation**: `~/projects/timesafari/crowd-funder-for-time-pwa/src/libs/crypto/vc/index.ts` - `createEndorserJwtForKey()` function
- **endorser-ch Verification**: `~/projects/timesafari/endorser-ch/src/api/services/vc/index.js` - `decodeAndVerifyJwt()` function
- [did-jwt library](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/did-jwt) - DID-based JWT library (JavaScript reference)
- [did-jwt-java](https://github.com/uport-project/uport-did-jwt) - Java implementation (if available) or alternative Java DID libraries

**Impact**: **CRITICAL** - Current HMAC-SHA256 implementation will be rejected by API server. All authentication will fail until DID-based ES256K signing is implemented.

**✅ ARCHITECTURAL DECISION**: Generate JWT in TypeScript (host app), pass token to native fetcher

**Rationale**:
- TimeSafari already has `did-jwt` library available in TypeScript
- TimeSafari can access DID private keys via Capacitor SQLite (`retrieveFullyDecryptedAccount()`)
- Plugin SPI pattern is designed for host app to provide implementations
- Avoids complexity of finding/implementing Java DID libraries
- Keeps cryptography in TypeScript where libraries are mature

**Updated Implementation Approach**:

**Option A: Generate JWT in TypeScript, Pass Token (RECOMMENDED)**
```typescript
// In HomeView.vue or TimeSafari app
import { createEndorserJwtForDid } from '@/libs/endorserServer';

// Generate JWT in TypeScript using existing TimeSafari infrastructure
const account = await retrieveFullyDecryptedAccount(activeDid);
const jwtToken = await createEndorserJwtForDid(activeDid, {
  exp: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 60,
  iat: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
  iss: activeDid
});

// Pass JWT token to native fetcher (no private key needed)
await DailyNotification.configureNativeFetcher({
  apiBaseUrl: 'http://10.0.2.2:3000',
  activeDid: activeDid,
  jwtToken: jwtToken  // Pre-generated token, not secret
});
```

```java
// In TestNativeFetcher.java - Just use the token, don't generate it
private volatile String jwtToken; // Pre-generated token from TypeScript

public void configure(String apiBaseUrl, String activeDid, String jwtToken) {
    this.apiBaseUrl = apiBaseUrl;
    this.activeDid = activeDid;
    this.jwtToken = jwtToken; // Use pre-generated token
}

private String getAuthorizationHeader() {
    return "Bearer " + jwtToken;
}
```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ No Java DID library needed
- ✅ Uses existing TimeSafari infrastructure (`did-jwt`, `retrieveFullyDecryptedAccount`)
- ✅ Keeps cryptography in TypeScript (where it's proven to work)
- ✅ Native fetcher just uses token (simple, no crypto complexity)
- ✅ Token can be refreshed in TypeScript when needed

**Next Actions**:
- [ ] Update `configureNativeFetcher()` TypeScript signature to accept `jwtToken` instead of `jwtSecret`
- [ ] Update Java `configureNativeFetcher()` to accept `jwtToken` parameter
- [ ] Remove JWT generation code from `TestNativeFetcher.generateJWTToken()`
- [ ] Use pre-generated token in `getAuthorizationHeader()` method
- [ ] Update `HomeView.vue` to generate JWT using TimeSafari's `createEndorserJwtForDid()`

---

### 2. Implement SharedPreferences Persistence for Configuration

- [x] **Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE**

**Current State**: ✅ Implemented - `getStarredPlanIds()` and `getLastAcknowledgedJwtId()` use SharedPreferences

**Location**: `TestNativeFetcher.java` → `getStarredPlanIds()`, `getLastAcknowledgedJwtId()`

**Implementation Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE**
- ✅ SharedPreferences initialized in constructor with `PREFS_NAME = "DailyNotificationPrefs"`
- ✅ `getStarredPlanIds()` - Loads JSON array from SharedPreferences
- ✅ `getLastAcknowledgedJwtId()` - Loads JWT ID from SharedPreferences
- ✅ `updateStarredPlanIds()` - Saves plan IDs to SharedPreferences
- ✅ `updateLastAckedJwtId()` - Saves JWT ID to SharedPreferences
- ✅ Context passed to constructor and stored as `appContext`

**Impact**: ✅ Proper state management and pagination support enabled

---

### 3. Add Error Handling and Retry Logic

- [x] **Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE**

**Current State**: ✅ Implemented - `fetchContentWithRetry()` with exponential backoff

**Location**: `TestNativeFetcher.java` → `fetchContentWithRetry()`

**Implementation Status**:
- [x] ✅ Retry logic for network failures (transient errors) - `fetchContentWithRetry()` with `MAX_RETRIES = 3`
- [x] ✅ Distinguish retryable vs non-retryable errors - `shouldRetry()` method checks response codes and retry count
- [x] ✅ Log error details for debugging - Detailed logging with retry counts and error messages
- [x] ✅ Exponential backoff for retries - `RETRY_DELAY_MS * (1 << retryCount)` implemented

**Suggested Implementation**:
```java
private static final int MAX_RETRIES = 3;
private static final int RETRY_DELAY_MS = 1000;

private CompletableFuture<List<NotificationContent>> fetchContentWithRetry(
    FetchContext context, int retryCount) {
    // ... existing fetch logic ...
    
    if (responseCode == 401 || responseCode == 403) {
        // Non-retryable - authentication issue
        Log.e(TAG, "Authentication failed - check credentials");
        return CompletableFuture.completedFuture(Collections.emptyList());
    }
    
    if (responseCode >= 500 && retryCount < MAX_RETRIES) {
        // Retryable - server error
        Log.w(TAG, "Server error " + responseCode + ", retrying... (" + retryCount + "/" + MAX_RETRIES + ")");
        Thread.sleep(RETRY_DELAY_MS * (1 << retryCount)); // Exponential backoff
        return fetchContentWithRetry(context, retryCount + 1);
    }
}
```

**Impact**: Improves reliability for transient network issues

---

## 🟡 Medium Priority

### 4. Validate API Response Structure (Need to Verify Actual Structure)

- [x] **Status**: ✅ **VERIFIED** - Endpoint structure verified, parser validation needs improvement

**Current State**: Parser handles both flat and nested structures, but could add more validation

**Location**: `TestNativeFetcher.java` → `parseApiResponse()`

**✅ Endpoint Structure Verified:**

- [x] ✅ **Check endorser-ch endpoint implementation:**
  - [x] ✅ Found `/api/v2/report/plansLastUpdatedBetween` handler in endorser-ch source: `~/projects/timesafari/endorser-ch/src/api/controllers/report-router.js`
  - [x] ✅ Verified actual response structure - Returns `{ data: [...], hitLimit: boolean }` where data items have `plan` and `wrappedClaimBefore` properties
  - [x] ✅ Response matches `PlanSummaryAndPreviousClaim` structure - Items have `plan.handleId`, `plan.jwtId`, and `wrappedClaimBefore` properties

- [x] ✅ **Current parser handles:**
  - [x] ✅ Both flat structure (`jwtId`, `planId`) and nested structure (`plan.jwtId`, `plan.handleId`)
  - [ ] ⚠️ **Missing**: Does NOT extract `wrappedClaimBefore` from response (exists in API response but not used in parser)

**✅ Verification Results:**

**Null Checks Status:**
- [x] ✅ Uses `.has()` checks before accessing fields (planId, jwtId) - Lines 502, 511
- [x] ✅ Checks `item.has("plan")` before accessing plan object - Lines 504, 513
- [x] ✅ Checks `dataArray != null` after getting it - Line 491
- [x] ✅ Handles null values safely (planId and jwtId can be null) - Lines 499-518
- [x] ✅ Wrapped in try-catch for error handling - Line 485, 570
- [ ] ⚠️ **Missing**: No check for `root.has("data")` before calling `getAsJsonArray("data")` (line 490) - Could throw `IllegalStateException` if "data" field missing or wrong type
- [ ] ⚠️ **Potential Issue**: `getAsJsonObject("plan")` (lines 505, 514) could throw if "plan" exists but is not a JsonObject (currently caught by try-catch)

**Structure Validation Status:**
- [ ] ⚠️ **Missing**: No validation that root has "data" field before accessing (line 490)
- [ ] ⚠️ **Missing**: No warning logged if "data" field is missing or wrong type (would be caught by try-catch, but no specific warning)
- [x] ✅ Handles missing/null data gracefully (creates default notification if contents empty) - Line 554-568
- [x] ✅ Handles parse errors gracefully (returns empty list on exception) - Line 570-573

**Nested Structure Handling:**
- [x] ✅ Handle nested structures correctly - Parser handles both `item.plan.handleId` and `item.planId` formats
- [x] ✅ Handles both flat (`jwtId`, `planId`) and nested (`plan.jwtId`, `plan.handleId`) structures

**Remaining Work:**
- [ ] Add `root.has("data")` check before accessing data array (line 490 - currently could throw if "data" missing)
- [ ] Add null check for `plan` object before accessing nested fields (line 505, 514 - currently relies on try-catch)
- [ ] Log warnings for unexpected response formats (missing "data" field, wrong types)
- [ ] Extract `wrappedClaimBefore` from response items (API provides this but parser doesn't use it)

**Suggested Improvements**:
```java
private List<NotificationContent> parseApiResponse(String responseBody, FetchContext context) {
    try {
        JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
        JsonObject root = parser.parse(responseBody).getAsJsonObject();
        
        // Validate response structure
        if (!root.has("data")) {
            Log.w(TAG, "API response missing 'data' field");
            return Collections.emptyList();
        }
        
        JsonArray dataArray = root.getAsJsonArray("data");
        if (dataArray == null) {
            Log.w(TAG, "API response 'data' field is not an array");
            return Collections.emptyList();
        }
        
        // ... rest of parsing with null checks ...
    }
}
```

**Impact**: Prevents crashes on unexpected API responses

---

### 5. Add Comprehensive Logging for Debugging

- [ ] **Status**: Partial - Basic logging exists, more comprehensive logging needed

**Current State**: Basic logging present (Log.d/i/e/w), but could be more detailed and structured

**Location**: Throughout `TestNativeFetcher.java`

**Current Implementation**:
- ✅ Uses Log.d/i/e/w for different severity levels
- ✅ Some structured tags (e.g., "TestNativeFetcher")
- ✅ Logs error details and retry information

**Required Changes**:
- [ ] Add more comprehensive log levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR) - Basic levels exist but could be more systematic
- [ ] Log request/response details (truncated for sensitive data) - Some logging exists, could be more comprehensive
- [ ] Log timing information for performance monitoring - Not currently implemented (timing would be helpful)
- [ ] Add structured logging tags for filtering - Basic tags exist, could be more structured with consistent prefixes

**Suggested Logging Points**:
- Configuration received
- Fetch start/end with timing
- HTTP request details (URL, method, headers - sanitized)
- Response code and size
- Parse success/failure
- Number of notifications created

**Example**:
```java
Log.d(TAG, String.format("FETCH_START trigger=%s scheduledTime=%d fetchTime=%d", 
    context.trigger, context.scheduledTime, context.fetchTime));
    
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
// ... radius logic ...
long duration = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;

Log.i(TAG, String.format("FETCH_COMPLETE duration=%dms items=%d", 
    duration, contents.size()));
```

---

### 6. Implement Proper Context Management

- [x] **Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE**

**Current State**: ✅ Context passed to constructor and stored

**Location**: `TestNativeFetcher.java` constructor, `TestApplication.java`

**Implementation Status**:
- [x] ✅ Pass `Application` context to `TestNativeFetcher` constructor - Done in `TestApplication.onCreate()`
- [x] ✅ Store context for SharedPreferences access - Stored as `appContext` and used for SharedPreferences
- [x] ✅ Using application context (no leaks) - `context.getApplicationContext()` used

**Example**:
```java
// In TestNativeFetcher:
private final Context appContext;

public TestNativeFetcher(Context context) {
    this.appContext = context.getApplicationContext(); // Use app context
    // ... initialize SharedPreferences ...
}

// In TestApplication.onCreate():
Context context = getApplicationContext();
TestNativeFetcher fetcher = new TestNativeFetcher(context);
```

---

## 🟢 Low Priority / Nice to Have

### 7. Add Unit Tests

- [ ] **Status**: Not started

**Location**: Create `TestNativeFetcher/CONTENT_FETCHERTest.java`

**Coverage Needed**:
- [ ] JWT token generation (verify signature format)
- [ ] API response parsing (valid and invalid responses)
- [ ] Error handling (network failures, invalid responses)
- [ ] Configuration updates
- [ ] SharedPreferences integration

**Test Framework**: JUnit 4/5 + Mockito

---

### 8. Extract JWT Generation to Utility Class

- [ ] **Status**: Not started

**Current State**: JWT generation code embedded in fetcher

**Benefit**: Reusable across other parts of the app, easier to test

**Location**: Create `test-apps/daily-notification-test/android/app/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/test/JwtUtils.java`

---

### 9. Add Request/Response Interceptors for Development

- [ ] **Status**: Not started

**Purpose**: Log full request/response for API debugging

**Implementation**: 
- [ ] Add methods to log full HTTP requests/responses (with data sanitization)

**Note**: Only enable in debug builds for security

---

### 10. Support API Response Caching

- [ ] **Status**: Not started

**Current State**: Always fetches from API

**Enhancement**: 
- [ ] Cache successful responses with TTL
- [ ] Use cached data if available and fresh

**Use Case**: Reduce API calls when multiple notifications scheduled close together

---

### 11. Add Metrics/Telemetry

- [ ] **Status**: Not started

**Purpose**: Track fetch success rates, latency, error types

**Implementation**: 
- [ ] Record metrics to SharedPreferences or analytics service
- [ ] Track: success/failure rate, average response time, error distribution
- [ ] Log summary periodically

---

### 12. ✅ MOVED TO HIGH PRIORITY: Verify API Response Structure

**This item has been moved to High Priority item #4** - Validate API Response Structure

**Action Required** (covered in item #4 above):
- [x] ✅ Check endorser-ch source code for actual endpoint response structure
- [x] ✅ Compare with `PlansLastUpdatedResponse` and `PlanSummaryWithPreviousClaim` interfaces in codebase
- [x] ✅ Update parser if structure differs - Parser handles both flat and nested structures
- [ ] Add validation for required fields - Additional validation still needed
- [ ] Test with real API responses from endorser-ch server - Pending real API testing

**Location**: 
- Check endorser-ch source: `src/` or `server/` directories for endpoint handler
- Check `src/definitions.ts` in this codebase for expected interface structure
- Test with real responses from running endorser-ch server

---

## 📝 Configuration & Setup Tasks

### 13. Enable Real API Calls in Test Config

- [ ] **Status**: Ready to enable - ES256K JWT generation complete, network config ready

**Current State**: `TEST_USER_ZERO_CONFIG.api.serverMode = "mock"`

**Ready to Enable**: ES256K JWT generation is complete, network security config is in place

**Action**: 
- [ ] Change `serverMode` to `"localhost"` in `test-user-zero.ts` (line 28) for emulator testing
- [ ] Test API calls to `http://10.0.2.2:3000` with real ES256K signed tokens
- [ ] Verify tokens are accepted by endorser-ch API
- [ ] Update to `"staging"` or `"production"` for real environment testing when ready

**Location**: `test-apps/daily-notification-test/src/config/test-user-zero.ts` (line 28)

**Note**: JWT generation now uses `generateEndorserJWT()` which creates proper ES256K signed tokens from the seed phrase.

---

### 14. Update TypeScript Type Definitions

- [x] **Status**: ✅ **VERIFIED** - Type definitions exist and are being used, may need updates after ES256K changes

**Current State**: Using `as any` type assertion for `configureNativeFetcher` in HomeView.vue

**Verification Results:**
- [x] ✅ `configureNativeFetcher()` method added to plugin interface (`src/definitions.ts`) - Verified: Line 376
- [x] ✅ Method signature exists with `apiBaseUrl`, `activeDid`, `jwtSecret` parameters
- [x] ✅ Method is being called in `HomeView.vue` - Line 474 (`onMounted` hook)
- [x] ✅ Currently uses `(DailyNotification as any).configureNativeFetcher` type assertion - Line 454

**Remaining Work:**
- [ ] Rebuild plugin package to ensure TypeScript definitions are up to date in `dist/`
- [ ] Remove `as any` type assertion in `HomeView.vue` (after confirming types are available)
- [ ] ⚠️ **CRITICAL**: Update method signature after ES256K implementation (remove `jwtSecret`, add private key mechanism)

**Location**: `test-apps/daily-notification-test/src/views/HomeView.vue` - Currently uses `(DailyNotification as any).configureNativeFetcher`

---

### 15. Add Network Security Configuration

- [x] **Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Network security config created and AndroidManifest.xml updated

**Purpose**: Allow HTTP connections in Android emulator (for localhost:3000)

**Verification Results:**
- [x] ✅ Checked: `network_security_config.xml` does NOT exist in `android/app/src/main/res/xml/`
- [x] ✅ Checked: No `networkSecurityConfig` attribute in `AndroidManifest.xml`
- [x] ✅ Checked: No `usesCleartextTraffic` attribute in `AndroidManifest.xml`

**Implementation Status**:
- [x] ✅ Created `android/app/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml` allowing cleartext traffic for `10.0.2.2`, `localhost`, and `127.0.0.1`
- [x] ✅ Added `android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"` to `<application>` tag in `AndroidManifest.xml`
- [x] ✅ Documented that this is safe for development (emulator-only access)

**Files Modified**:
- `test-apps/daily-notification-test/android/app/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml` (created)
- `test-apps/daily-notification-test/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml` (updated line 10)

**Note**: Required for HTTP connections (not HTTPS) to `http://10.0.2.2:3000` from Android emulator

---

## 🧪 Testing Checklist

- [ ] Prefetch occurs 5 minutes before notification
- [x] ✅ Error handling works for network failures - Retry logic implemented
- [x] ✅ SharedPreferences persists starred plan IDs - Implementation complete
- [ ] Pagination works with `afterId` parameter (SharedPreferences ready, needs API testing)
- [ ] Multiple notifications can be scheduled and fetched
- [ ] Background fetches work when app is closed

## Notes

- **JWT Implementation**: ✅ **CONFIRMED** - TimeSafari repository investigation complete. Endorser-ch API uses **DID-based JWTs (ES256K)** for API authentication. Current HMAC-SHA256 implementation must be replaced. See `INVESTIGATION_JWT_ALGORITHM_RESULTS.md` for complete findings.
- **Context Dependency**: Consider whether `TestNativeFetcher` should be a singleton or if context should be injected differently
- **Error Strategy**: Decide on error handling strategy - should fetches fail silently (current), or propagate errors for user notification?
- **State Management**: Consider whether starred plan IDs should be managed by the app or fetched from API user profile
- **Investigation Status**: ✅ Item #1 (JWT algorithm) investigation **COMPLETE**. Confirmed ES256K requirement. Implementation changes required before proceeding with other items.

## ✅ Verification Summary (2025-10-31)

**Items Verified Through Code Inspection:**

1. **Item #4 (API Response Structure)**:
   - ✅ Endpoint structure confirmed in endorser-ch source
   - ✅ Parser handles both flat and nested structures
   - ✅ Null checks exist for most fields (uses `.has()` checks)
   - ⚠️ Missing: `root.has("data")` check before accessing data array
   - ⚠️ Missing: `wrappedClaimBefore` extraction from response

2. **Item #14 (TypeScript Types)**:
   - ✅ Method exists in `src/definitions.ts` (Line 376)
   - ✅ Method signature includes `apiBaseUrl`, `activeDid`, `jwtSecret`
   - ✅ Method being called in `HomeView.vue` (Line 474, `onMounted` hook)
   - ⚠️ Currently uses `as any` type assertion (needs plugin rebuild for proper types)

3. **Item #15 (Network Security Config)**:
   - ✅ Confirmed: `network_security_config.xml` does NOT exist
   - ✅ Confirmed: No `networkSecurityConfig` attribute in AndroidManifest.xml
   - ✅ Confirmed: No `usesCleartextTraffic` attribute in AndroidManifest.xml
   - Needs to be created for HTTP connections to `http://10.0.2.2:3000`
