App Development: Week 4

Overview

Week 4 focuses on integrating key functionalities to enhance the application's capabilities. This includes API calling, payment gateway integration, invoice generation, updating sales data on Firestore, and implementing Firebase Analytics.

Goals:

  1. Implement HTTP API calls for functionalities like payment confirmations or order tracking.
  2. Integrate a payment gateway into the application for financial transactions.
  3. Enhance the invoice generation process and integrate storage solutions.
  4. Ensure accurate updating of sales data on Firestore after transactions.
  5. Implement Firebase Analytics to monitor user interactions and sales data.

Tasks:
