Tech Stack
We used React Native, Expo, Firebase authentication/ Firestore, Typescript, Axios, Jest/ Supertest, Amadeus API, AI using python and google’s Gemini They serve the functionalities the app requires, and we didn’t cover them on the course; learning and using these technologies was a challenge, and we wanted to be ambitious with this project. They are also up-to-date, with React-native being used in many mobile applications from a plethora of companies.
Challenges Faced
Planning and executing a large scale project for the first time came with several issues to overcome. Spiking these technologies was a huge learning curve, particularly Firebase. The test API also caused a few issues, with connectivity not being consistent and unknown errors occurring. We also had issues merging multiple branches together, as we had merge conflicts several times.
