RideIn Taxi App- iOS Taxi Booking App

✨ Key Features

• Admin Web Panel: manage drivers, passengers, fare rules, zones, promotions, analytics and reports.
• Real-Time Tracking: map status for driver/passenger, ETA display, live route updates and trip history.
• Payments: integrated payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay), promo codes, in-app wallet and cash option.
• Booking Types: ride now, scheduled rides, package delivery, airport transfer, and pooling options.
• Geo-Zones & Pricing: dynamic pricing by city/zones, surge multiplier, distance/time-based fares and vehicle types.
• Ratings & Feedback: passengers rate drivers and vehicles; drivers rate passengers; reviews visible in dashboard.
• Driver Earnings & Payouts: daily/weekly payouts, driver wallet, commission rules and exportable statements.
• Notifications: push (via APNS/Firebase), email & SMS alerts for booking status, driver arrival and promocodes.

⚙️ Technical Stack

• Passenger & Driver Apps: Swift 5 / Xcode project for iOS native applications.
• Backend & Admin Panel: PHP with Laravel framework (or Node.js) for dispatch logic, API endpoints and administration.
• Real-Time Communication: WebSocket or Firebase Realtime Database for live driver-passenger updates.
• Database: MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL for storage; Redis for caching and session management.
• Server Requirements: macOS (for iOS build), or Linux server for backend; Apache/Nginx, Composer, Node.js, SSL/HTTPS, and push notification credentials setup.

Technical insight: RideIn separates real-time services (tracking, web socket updates) from business logic (booking, fare calculation) using micro-services or Laravel jobs, maintaining modularity and scalability for multi-city deployment.

🧩 Installation Guide (Quick Start)

1. Prepare Backend: set up PHP server, database, storage and SSL certificate.
2. Configure Environment: update .env with DB credentials, payment keys, map and push setup.
3. Install Dependencies: run composer install and npm install && npm run build if applicable.
4. Deploy iOS Apps: open the Xcode project, set bundle IDs, provisioning profiles, insert API endpoints, push credentials and apply branding. Build and submit to App Store.
5. Admin Panel Launch: log in, create fare rules, zones, vehicle types, promotions, and onboard drivers/passengers.
6. Go Live: test full flow (booking, driver acceptance, navigation, payment, rating) and monitor dashboards before scaling.

Tip: Use test modes for payments, ensure driver onboarding KYC and define clear surge pricing logic to avoid mischarges.
