It’s crafted for publishers, sports startups, newsrooms, fantasy platforms, and club administrators who want a low-latency cricket experience with a clean UI and scalable backend.

⚙️ Technical Stack

• Mobile App: Android (Kotlin) or Flutter (Dart) implementation; MVVM/BLoC with repository pattern; Retrofit/HTTP + WebSockets.
• Backend/API: Node.js (Express/Nest) or PHP (Laravel) micro-services exposing REST + Socket/SignalR channels for live events.
• Data Layer: Integrates with a licensed cricket data provider (e.g., official feeds or compliant third-party APIs). Ingest service normalizes events into match state.
• Real-Time: Redis pub/sub or Kafka → Socket gateway for low latency; server-side caching (Redis) for hot endpoints.
• Notifications: Firebase Cloud Messaging (topics per team/match/series); rate-limited fan-out.
• Analytics & Logging: Firebase Analytics/Crashlytics, server logs via ELK/CloudWatch; privacy-safe event tracking.
• Requirements (Server): Linux VPS, Node 18+/PHP 8.1+, Redis, HTTPS/HTTP2, reverse proxy (Nginx) and a queue worker.
• Requirements (Dev): Android Studio/VS Code, JDK 17 (Android), Flutter 3.x (if Flutter build), Google Play Console setup for releases.

🧩 Installation Guide

1. Provision backend: Deploy API + socket gateway; configure environment (.env) for DB/Redis/FCM keys and your cricket data provider credentials.
2. Configure data ingest: Enable scheduled pulls or webhooks; map provider fields to internal match schema; test a live match in sandbox.
3. Brand the app: Update package ID, app name, icons/splash, primary colors, typography; set deep-link prefixes.
4. Wire endpoints: Set API base URL, WebSocket URL, FCM sender ID; toggle features (tables/insights/ads) in config.*.
5. QA scenarios: Toss/teams announced → live overs → wicket & milestone pushes → innings switch → result; simulate disconnect/reconnect and daylight saving edge cases.
6. Release: Generate signed AAB/APK (and iOS build if Flutter), publish with privacy policy & data-source attribution.
