React Native APK Build & Enhancements

I already have the full React Native source code and a Laravel backend with APIs that respond correctly in Postman. What I need now is a clean, release-ready Android APK plus a few light improvements. Here’s the current state of play: • The backend is fully configured and live. • API endpoints, keys, and routes are working; they simply need to be pointed at correctly from the app. • The React Native project builds in development mode but still requires proper release configuration and signing. Scope of work 1. Tidy up the project configuration (gradle signing, keystore, environment variables, base URL, etc.) so the code can compile reliably on any machine. 2. Introduce a small feature we will define together at kickoff—think of it as a modest extension to an existing screen rather than a ground-up module. 3. Produce a signed, release-mode APK that installs and runs against the live Laravel API. Deliverables - Updated React Native project with the new feature committed. - Documented configuration changes so I can repeat the build locally. - Final release APK ready for Play Store upload. A short screen-share or written walkthrough of the build steps will serve as acceptance criteria. If you are comfortable with React Native, Android Studio, gradle signing, and basic Laravel API integration, let’s get this wrapped up quickly.
