Last Updated: February 22, 2026
Status: Repository cleaned and ready for environment configuration
The repository has been cleaned and optimized:
- ✅ 4 unused legacy card components (~250 lines of dead code)
- ✅ Redundant Jekyll _layouts directory
- ✅ Duplicate pnpm-lock.yaml file
- ✅ 7 redundant documentation files (~2,500 lines)
- ✅ Unified development status tracking
- ✅ Single comprehensive build & deployment guide
- ✅ Streamlined from 16 to 10 documentation files
- Components: 9 active components (all Modern* variants)
- Services: 9 well-organized service files
- Types: 8 comprehensive type definition files
- Documentation: Clean and non-redundant
- Structure: Properly organized for React Native/Expo
Before deployment, you need to configure environment secrets:
Create a .env.local file with your Firebase credentials:
# Copy the example file
cp .env.example .env.localEdit .env.local and add your Firebase API key:
# Firebase Configuration (REQUIRED)
FIREBASE_API_KEY=your-firebase-api-key-here
FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=your-project.firebaseapp.com
FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id
# Supabase Configuration (REQUIRED)
SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-supabase-anon-key
# Optional but Recommended
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=your-stripe-publishable-keyAdd these secrets to your GitHub repository:
Go to: Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret
Required secrets:
FIREBASE_API_KEYFIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAINFIREBASE_PROJECT_IDSUPABASE_URLSUPABASE_ANON_KEY
Optional secrets:

npm installnpm start
# Then press 'w' for web, 'i' for iOS, 'a' for Androidnpm run buildThis creates a dist/ directory ready for deployment.
npm install -g vercel
vercel --prodnpm install -g netlify-cli
netlify deploy --prod --dir=distPush to main branch - GitHub Actions will automatically build and deploy.
-
Install EAS CLI
npm install -g eas-cli eas login
-
Configure Project
eas build:configure
-
Build
# iOS eas build --platform ios --profile production # Android eas build --platform android --profile production
-
Submit to Stores
eas submit --platform ios eas submit --platform android
Fully Implemented:
- ✅ VIN decoding (NHTSA API)
- ✅ UI/UX design system
- ✅ Navigation and routing
- ✅ Type definitions
- ✅ Database schema
Partially Implemented:
⚠️ Authentication (setup done, needs integration)⚠️ Vehicle CRUD operations (UI ready, backend partial)⚠️ AI chat service (structure in place, needs completion)⚠️ Maintenance tracking (UI ready, persistence pending)
Not Yet Implemented:
- ❌ Stripe subscriptions
- ❌ OBD-II diagnostics
- ❌ Photo uploads for receipts
- ❌ Push notifications
- ❌ Unit tests
See docs/DEVELOPMENT_STATUS.md for detailed status.
- Rotate all API keys used during development
- Enable Supabase RLS policies on all tables
- Configure Firebase Auth rules properly
- Set up rate limiting on API endpoints
- Enable HTTPS only (already configured in vercel.json/netlify.toml)
- Review CORS settings in backend configuration
- Scan for vulnerabilities:
npm audit

Build fails with missing expo:
npm install
# expo is installed as a dependencyEnvironment variables not loading:
- Ensure
.env.localexists in root directory - Restart development server after adding variables
- For web builds, variables must be prefixed with
EXPO_PUBLIC_
Authentication not working:
- Verify Firebase project is created
- Check that Firebase API key is correct
- Ensure auth providers are enabled in Firebase Console
