v1.7 Latest 1 August 2026
Environments & smarter skeletons
  • Dev, staging and production builds--dart-define=ENV=dev switches the API URL and badges the app title, so testers can tell builds apart. flutter run still works with no flags.
  • Skeleton loaders derive from your real layouts — no more hand-drawn placeholder screens that fall out of step when you change a card.
  • A mistyped environment falls back to production on purpose, so a release pipeline can't quietly ship a build pointed at a dev backend.
v1.6.1 31 July 2026
CI included, platform hardening
  • A working CI pipeline ships with the template — every push checks the app (analyze, tests, Android build), the admin dashboard, and the backend. No setup needed.
  • Release signing documented — creating a keystore, wiring key.properties, and signing on iOS.
  • Fixed: Android backups swept up the stored session token and saved cards. Backup and data-extraction rules now exclude them.
  • Fixed: a missing iOS photo-library permission string that would crash any feature saving an image.
v1.6 28 July 2026
Remove what you don't ship
  • Features are now removable — delete one line from the module registry and a feature's screens, its bottom-nav tab and its home-screen entry points all go with it, and the app still compiles.
  • Only building a ride-hailing app? Take out social, rentals or wallet instead of hunting down references.
  • Composable navigation — the tab bar is built from data, so each feature contributes its own tab.
  • More features migrated to self-contained modules: map, rentals, social and wallet own their own routes and wiring.
  • No visible change in a default build — same screens, same tabs, same order.
v1.5.1 28 July 2026
Version display fix
  • Settings > About showed v1.0.0 on every release — it now reports the version you actually have.
v1.5 27 July 2026
Feature modules
  • Features can own their wiring — a feature declares its own routes and dependencies in its own folder instead of a central list, so adding or removing one is a local change.
  • Adopt it at your own pace — features that haven't been migrated keep working exactly as before; both styles compose into the same route table.
  • Module manifests describe each feature's routes, dependencies, permissions and settings, with tests that keep them in step with the code.
  • Fixed: flutter analyze reported five errors on a fresh copy because it walked into the separate admin project. A fresh copy is now clean.
  • Licence updated — added verification, AI-training and competing-product clauses.
v1.4 24 July 2026
Go global & mobile
  • US dollars by default, with a currency picker in Settings — 13 currencies including yen, won and rupiah conventions.
  • Three new languages — Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese — bringing the total to seven (with Arabic RTL).
  • Admin dashboard is now mobile-friendly — a drawer replaces the sidebar on phones, tables scroll instead of squeezing, and the Home breadcrumb navigates.
  • Admin ships as an installable app — the CRM now targets Android and iOS as well as web.
  • Home content is now configuration — service tiles, promos and shop categories live in one file, so you can rebrand the app for a different business without touching widget code.
  • Branded map markers — a teardrop pin, a live-location dot and a vehicle badge, shared across every map screen.
  • Working demo authentication — the live demo now registers and logs in against a real backend.
v1.3 23 July 2026
Live backend demo
  • The admin CRM now runs live against a hosted backend, so buyers can click through a real dashboard.
  • The reference server seeds a week of demo orders, so the dashboard's charts and analytics have data to show.
  • The backend URL is configurable at build time — point the app or dashboard at any server without editing source.
v1.2 22 July 2026
Four home screen layouts
  • Four complete home designs — All-in-one, Ride-hailing, Shopping and Social — switchable live from Settings and remembered.
  • Shared building blocks so the layouts stay consistent and easy to extend.
v1.1 22 July 2026
Store-ready essentials
  • Account deletion (App Store requirement), change password, saved addresses and saved payment methods.
  • Product search and product reviews.
  • Full legal pages — Licence, Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
v1.0 Initial release
The foundation
  • Every vertical: e-commerce/marketplace, ride-hailing, car rentals, social feed, chat and wallet.
  • Node.js reference backend and a web admin dashboard.
  • Onboarding, authentication with OTP and biometric lock, OpenStreetMap picker, QR scanner, membership plans and insights.
  • Four languages with full RTL, five theme presets, and a mock backend so it runs with zero setup.
