wide range of devices.

Development Framework:
The application must be developed using HTML, along with supporting web technologies like CSS and
JavaScript, to ensure a unified single codebase that is compatible across both iOS and Android
platforms. This approach simplifies development and maintenance while enabling the app to deliver a
responsive, intuitive, and native-like user experience through modern web capabilities.

Storage and Performance:

The app must use SQLite Database (Android), or Core Data (iOS) for local storage management and
offline functionality.

The app’s size should not exceed 100MB to comply with app store policies,
which limit the size of apps that can be uploaded.

Authentication and Security:

The app must implement OAuth 2.0, Firebase Authentication, or Apple Sign-In for secure login and
account management.

AES-256 encryption must be used to securely store sensitive user data on the device.

Push Notifications:

The app will use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for Android and Apple Push Notification
Service (APNs) for iOS for sending push notifications.

Battery and Network Optimization:

Background tasks, such as notifications and data synchronization, should be optimized to reduce
battery consumption.

The app must be able to function under low-network conditions (e.g., 3G or slower networks),
ensuring minimal disruption.

Development Methodology:

The app must follow the COMET method for software design, ensuring structured development that
focuses on usability and performance.

The design and architecture must adhere to UML (Unified Modeling Language) for modeling the
system and ensuring standardization and clarity in communication.

Regulatory Compliance:

The app must comply with data privacy regulations, including GDPR and CCPA, for the protection
of user data. Accessibility requirements must be met by supporting WCAG 2.1 for users with visual
impairments.

2.3 Assumptions and Dependencies Third

Party Services:
The app will rely on Firebase Authentication for user sign-up, login, and security. If Firebase
services are unavailable or discontinued, the authentication system may need to be reworked.

App Store Guidelines:

It is assumed that Google Play Store and Apple App Store guidelines will remain consistent with
current policies regarding app size, content, and privacy standards. Any significant changes to these
guidelines may require updates to the app.

Operating System Compatibility:

The app assumes that the user’s device will be running Android (API Level 23+) or iOS (iOS 12+),
and the app will function correctly on these platforms. If older versions of Android or iOS become
widely used, the app may need to support them.
Internet Connectivity:
The app assumes users will have at least intermittent internet connectivity for certain features (e.g.,
notifications, live events). In cases of persistent network failure, some features, such as chat or event
registration, may not function as intended.

External Data Sources:

The app depends on external APIs to fetch content such as alumni roadmaps, hackathon details, and
event schedules. Any changes or disruptions to these data sources could impact the functionality of
the app.

User-Generated Content:

The app assumes users will generate content, such as submitting answers to the problem of the day
or sharing roadmaps. The system will rely on user activity to keep the content dynamic. Any
significant drop in user engagement could affect app usability.

Database & Storage Services:

The app depends on SQLite, Room Database, or Core Data for local data storage. If there are
changes in database technologies or if the chosen database systems become unsupported, the app
may need to be migrated to another storage solution.
