This report outlines the development progress of our mobile application, focusing on key features related to payment profile setup and eSIM management. The application aims to provide users with a seamless experience for purchasing and managing eSIMs, utilizing Solana addresses for payment profiles.
The mobile app's user interface is being developed using React Native, a framework for building cross-platform mobile applications. The backend services are being built using Node.js, a JavaScript runtime environment.
I. Mobile App Development
Here's what the team accomplished this week on the encryptSIM dApp:
UX/UI Design is nearly complete.
In order to onboard the next 100 million users into web3, the encryptSIM app will feature comprehensive eSIM management and a suite of privacy-related services with a seamless, unparalleled user experience.
Payment Profile Setup with Solana Address:
- Implementation of user interface (UI) for creating and managing payment profiles. This includes screens for:
- Generating new Solana addresses.
- Importing existing Solana addresses.
- Displaying and managing multiple payment profiles.
- Integration with Solana libraries for address generation and management.
- Testing of payment profile creation, storage, and retrieval.
eSIM Select and Purchase:
- Development of a catalog interface for browsing available eSIM plans.
- Implementation of eSIM selection, providing users with plan details (data allowance, validity, pricing).
- Integration with backend services for initiating the eSIM purchase process. This includes sending the selected plan and payment profile information.
- UI for order confirmation and purchase status.
- Functionality to display purchased eSIMs and their status.
- Testing the purchase flow, from eSIM selection to order confirmation.
II. Backend Development
The backend is being built with Node.js. Here's the latest progress:
Payment Profile Logic and CRUD:
- Implementation of RESTful APIs for managing payment profiles. This includes:
- Creating new payment profiles (mapped to Solana addresses).
- Retrieving payment profile details.
- Updating payment profile information (if needed).
- Deleting payment profiles.
- Database design and implementation for storing payment profile data, linking it to order history.
- Security measures to protect payment profile data.
- Implementation of business logic for handling payment transactions related to eSIM purchases and top-ups.
Caching for Improved API Loading:
- Implementation of caching mechanisms to store frequently accessed data. This includes:
- Caching eSIM plan details.
- Caching payment profile information.
- Configuration of cache expiration policies to ensure data freshness.
- Performance testing to measure the improvement in API response times due to caching.
- Monitoring cache performance and adjusting configurations as needed.
Overall Status and Next Steps:
The mobile app and backend development are progressing as scheduled. The core features of payment profile setup and eSIM purchase are in advanced stages of development.
Next steps include:
- Continued rigorous testing of all features.
- Optimization of both frontend and backend performance.
- DVPN integration
- VoIP integration
- Implementation of error handling and edge case management.
- User experience (UX) refinement based on user feedback.
- Preparation for beta testing and eventual release.
Team members are currently en route to Da Nang, Vietnam to complete development at Da Nang's Blockchain Hub.
