| # Finalizing App for Farmer Distribution | |
| This plan outlines the steps to move from a development environment to a "real-time" app that can be installed on farmers' phones. | |
| ## User Review Required | |
| > [!IMPORTANT] | |
| > To share the app with farmers, we will generate an **APK file**. This file can be shared via WhatsApp or Bluetooth and installed directly on any Android phone. | |
| ## Proposed Changes | |
| ### [Component Name] Backend Deployment | |
| Ensure the AI backend is live on Hugging Face Spaces. | |
| #### [MODIFY] [aiService.js](file:///d:/antigravity%20leaf%20disease/GreenDoctor/services/aiService.js) | |
| - Verify the `BACKEND_API_URL` is pointing to the final production URL. | |
| ### [Component Name] Frontend Build | |
| Generate the distribution-ready APK. | |
| #### [ACTION] Build Command | |
| Run the following command in your terminal to create the APK: | |
| ```powershell | |
| npx eas build -p android --profile preview | |
| ``` | |
| ## Verification Plan | |
| ### Manual Verification | |
| 1. **Build Success**: Monitor the EAS build progress and download the resulting `.apk` file. | |
| 2. **Installation**: Install the APK on a physical Android device. | |
| 3. **Real-time Scan**: Test the scan feature while connected to mobile data to ensure it reaches the Hugging Face backend. | |
