Critical Improvements for Daily Notification Plugin

Immediate Action Items (Next 48 Hours)

1. Restore Android Implementation

Priority: CRITICAL Effort: 8-12 hours

The Android implementation was completely removed and needs to be recreated:

// Required files to recreate:
android/app/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/DailyNotificationPlugin.java
android/app/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/DailyNotificationReceiver.java
android/app/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/DailyNotificationLogger.java
android/app/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/DailyNotificationConstants.java
android/app/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/DailyNotificationConfig.java
android/app/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/BatteryOptimizationSettings.java
android/app/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/MaintenanceWorker.java
android/app/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/MaintenanceReceiver.java

Key Features to Implement:

• Notification scheduling with AlarmManager
• Battery optimization handling
• Background task management
• Permission handling
• Error logging and reporting

2. Fix Test Suite

Priority: HIGH Effort: 4-6 hours

All test files need to be updated to match current interfaces:

• tests/daily-notification.test.ts ✅ Fixed
• tests/enterprise-scenarios.test.ts - Remove non-existent methods
• tests/edge-cases.test.ts - Update interface references
• tests/advanced-scenarios.test.ts - Fix mock implementations

Required Changes:

• Remove references to checkPermissions method
• Update NotificationOptions interface usage
• Fix timestamp types (string vs number)
• Implement proper mock objects

3. Complete Interface Definitions

Priority: HIGH Effort: 2-3 hours

Add missing properties and methods to interfaces:

// Add to NotificationOptions
export interface NotificationOptions {
  // ... existing properties
  retryCount?: number;
  retryInterval?: number;
  cacheDuration?: number;
  headers?: Record<string, string>;
  offlineFallback?: boolean;
  contentHandler?: (response: Response) => Promise<{
    title: string;
    body: string;
    data?: any;
  }>;
}

// Add to DailyNotificationPlugin
export interface DailyNotificationPlugin {
  // ... existing methods
  checkPermissions(): Promise<PermissionStatus>;
  requestPermissions(): Promise<PermissionStatus>;
}

Week 1 Improvements

4. Enhanced Error Handling

Priority: HIGH Effort: 6-8 hours

Implement comprehensive error handling:

// Create custom error types
export class DailyNotificationError extends Error {
  constructor(
    message: string,
    public code: string,
    public details?: any
  ) {
    super(message);
    this.name = 'DailyNotificationError';
  }
}

export class NetworkError extends DailyNotificationError {
  constructor(message: string, public statusCode?: number) {
    super(message, 'NETWORK_ERROR', { statusCode });
    this.name = 'NetworkError';
  }
}

export class PermissionError extends DailyNotificationError {
  constructor(message: string) {
    super(message, 'PERMISSION_ERROR');
    this.name = 'PermissionError';
  }
}

5. Structured Logging

Priority: MEDIUM Effort: 4-6 hours

Implement comprehensive logging system:

export enum LogLevel {
  DEBUG = 0,
  INFO = 1,
  WARN = 2,
  ERROR = 3
}

export interface Logger {
  debug(message: string, context?: any): void;
  info(message: string, context?: any): void;
  warn(message: string, context?: any): void;
  error(message: string, error?: Error, context?: any): void;
}

6. Validation Utilities

Priority: MEDIUM Effort: 3-4 hours

Create comprehensive validation utilities:

export class ValidationUtils {
  static isValidUrl(url: string): boolean;
  static isValidTime(time: string): boolean;
  static isValidTimezone(timezone: string): boolean;
  static isValidPriority(priority: string): boolean;
  static validateNotificationOptions(options: NotificationOptions): void;
}

Week 2 Improvements

7. Retry Mechanisms

Priority: MEDIUM Effort: 6-8 hours

Implement exponential backoff retry logic:

export interface RetryConfig {
  maxAttempts: number;
  baseDelay: number;
  maxDelay: number;
  backoffMultiplier: number;
}

export class RetryManager {
  async executeWithRetry<T>(
    operation: () => Promise<T>,
    config: RetryConfig
  ): Promise<T>;
}

8. Performance Monitoring

Priority: MEDIUM Effort: 4-6 hours

Add performance tracking:

export interface PerformanceMetrics {
  notificationDeliveryTime: number;
  schedulingLatency: number;
  errorRate: number;
  successRate: number;
}

export class PerformanceMonitor {
  trackNotificationDelivery(): void;
  trackSchedulingLatency(): void;
  getMetrics(): PerformanceMetrics;
}

Security Improvements

9. Input Validation

Priority: HIGH Effort: 3-4 hours

Implement comprehensive input validation:

export class SecurityValidator {
  static sanitizeUrl(url: string): string;
  static validateHeaders(headers: Record<string, string>): void;
  static validateContent(content: string): void;
  static checkForXSS(content: string): boolean;
}

10. Secure Storage

Priority: MEDIUM Effort: 4-6 hours

Implement secure storage for sensitive data:

export interface SecureStorage {
  set(key: string, value: string): Promise<void>;
  get(key: string): Promise<string | null>;
  remove(key: string): Promise<void>;
  clear(): Promise<void>;
}

Testing Improvements

11. Integration Tests

Priority: HIGH Effort: 8-10 hours

Create comprehensive integration tests:

describe('Integration Tests', () => {
  it('should handle full notification lifecycle', async () => {
    // Test complete workflow
  });
  
  it('should handle network failures gracefully', async () => {
    // Test error scenarios
  });
  
  it('should respect battery optimization settings', async () => {
    // Test platform-specific features
  });
});

12. Performance Tests

Priority: MEDIUM Effort: 4-6 hours

Add performance benchmarking:

describe('Performance Tests', () => {
  it('should schedule notifications within 100ms', async () => {
    // Performance benchmark
  });
  
  it('should handle 1000 concurrent notifications', async () => {
    // Stress test
  });
});

Documentation Improvements

• JSDoc comments for all public methods
• TypeScript declaration files
• Usage examples for each method
