Treasure Trek - Geocaching App

🚀 My App is live now, ready to ship 🚀
This is an adventure app. so you can use it in your free time with your friends and family and have a great time. what a great memory to make.

I have completed building my app, and it is ready for production.
I sent it to google console for review and i'll ship the project once the app is live.
It was a really nice period, learnt alot of stuff, before today, i have never worked with maps, but in this app with a little help of ai, not much, just a little, i managed to integrate it in my app efficiently. 🚀

today i worked on the feature in which when the user finds an object, the user is then asked to verify the object through an image, then user can select to capture image or upload from library, then that image is sent to gemini and it tells if it is the object to be found or not. 🚀
Much more work to do...

WOOAHH!!! finally, after 11 hours... I FIXED THE BUUGGG...
well... my app is not crashing now, that means it is fixed to some extent 😅.
Mann... feels like i conquered the world today.
So, today's progress is that you can now join the game room, and you get shown the object riddle when you are in the object radius, but this feature needs work. that's it for today. 🏆

Trying really hard to fix this problem, with getting user location in react-native, but nothing seems to work, if i upgrade, then the whole app crashes, if i downgrade, the app works fine untill the screen comes where react-native-geolocation-service is meant to be used. But it is nothing, i'll fix it inshallah.

Ok, so i did the backend on joining the game room which is incomplete, currently it is just sending mock data for ease. The app is now creating game rooms successfully.
The participant is not being added to the game yet, it is pending. currently i am trying to make the user experience smooth, like joining the game, waiting for the game to be started and finishing game, after that i will work on the other features.

Currently working on the core game features, i have create a kind of game room and then you can add or remove the items from the room, currently working on entering and leaving room with update to the game room.

I wanted to integrate maps in my app, and when i installed react-native-maps and tried to run the app, the app kept crashing, spent too much effort here, tried different libraries which were not that good, then i decided i need that and i need to make it work, with some research on stackoverflow and chatgpt, the problem was still there. then i read an article discussing to download an older version and then i downloaded an older version and then it worked, feels like a little victory 🏆.

Really excited about this app, it is about bringing the families and relations close together again. I am not finished for the day but i have to log the time so it doesn't overflow 10h.
So, i have completed the user management and some of the game details... i am currently on integrating maps into my app, NEVER DONE IT BEFORE 😅, so i am learning along the way through trials and alot of errors. I am really excited about this, let's goo 🚀

Completed the authentication system, everything about authentication is done, the frontend of the app, and the backend user handling is done, saving passwords by encrypting by hashing using bcryptjs. Next is the core app experience, let's go 🚀.

Ok guys be ready for the adventure , i am taking the treasure trek app to the android.
Helpful for parents, friends and many others to create and shape and strengthen the bond of relation between them by playing in an engaging fun game. Let's see where this goes, (ia). 🚀
