⚠️ Important Cost, Infrastructure, and Service Disclosures

External VPS / Hosting Costs: Deploying the backend platform requires cloud VPS or web hosting. These are external services that the buyer must set up and purchase separately.
Database Requirements: A MongoDB database is required. If using external managed databases (e.g., MongoDB Atlas), usage charges may apply.
Google Play Developer Fees & Commissions: Google Play requires a standard developer registration fee. Google also retains service commissions (typically 15% to 30%) on all in-app purchases processed via Google Play Billing.
Payment Gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay): Using integrated online checkouts requires active merchant accounts with Stripe, PayPal, or Razorpay. These platforms require separate accounts and charge transaction fees per checkout.
Third-Party Cloud Storage (AWS, Google Cloud, Bunny.net, Backblaze, DigitalOcean): Storing large video files in the cloud requires active accounts with storage providers. Ongoing data storage and bandwidth egress fees are charged by these service providers separately.
Firebase Integration: Using Firebase Authentication and Firestore may incur external usage costs at scale, governed by Google’s service limits.
Proprietary Licensing & Verification Disclosure: This product includes a proprietary verification system (“DevSnaplix Central API Licensing”) for domain lock validation and automated periodic licensing checks. Verification occurs online. This service requires no subscription fees or ongoing costs to buyers. Local test environments (e.g., localhost) are pre-whitelisted and require no internet licensing check. In the unlikely event this license service is discontinued, a free product update will be released immediately to remove the validation check. The license verification is entirely non-blocking, meaning it operates silently in the background and does not interrupt, delay, or degrade the end-user experience.

*   [Fix] Fixed an issue in the Android App where coin pack prices and VIP subscriptions were hardcoded to US Dollars (`$`) by dynamically linking all price tags and checkout texts to the admin-defined store currency symbol (`currencySymbol`).

Version 1.1.2 – 07-07-2026

* [Fix] Fixed redirection loop (`ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS`) on the `/install` page in production builds by forcing dynamic rendering at runtime.
* [Fix] Fixed `500 Internal Server Error` on the `/admin/login` page after finishing the installation wizard by implementing lazy MongoDB connection caching, eliminating the need for a manual server restart.

* [Mobile App Update] Updated the Kotlin Android App to dynamically load the Google Sign-in Web Client ID from `google-services.json` rather than using a hardcoded string, making authentication setup plug-and-play for buyers.
* [UI/UX] Redesigned the main Website Hero Slider to be an edge-to-edge cinematic banner with an optimized viewport height (vh), allowing content below it to peek into view. Moved pagination dots inside the slider to save vertical space.
* [UI/UX] Updated the Android App Featured Slider to support the new cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio, mirroring the premium look and feel of the website's hero section.

* [Fix] Fixed embedded videos (e.g., Dailymotion) appearing horizontally with a 16:9 aspect ratio inside the vertical player by forcing Tailwind overrides on inline padding CSS styles.
* [Fix] Fixed an issue where the Website only displayed the first Featured Drama in the slider if the interface language was changed to Arabic.
* [UI/UX] Added the Drama Title and a localized "Watch Now" overlay button to the Android App Featured Slider, mirroring the premium look and feel of the website.
