7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add push notifications with Firebase Cloud Messaging
• Add offline support with local caching
• Publish an internal test build on the Play Store

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Which framework is used and why (native vs cross-platform)?
2. How is app state managed across screens?
3. Where is the data stored — locally, Firebase or a REST backend?
4. How are permissions (camera, location, storage) handled?
5. How would you publish this app to the Play Store / App Store?
