Greetings, You need a cross-platform sports and social application with highly reliable background GPS tracking, real-time location features, IM integration, and a scalable backend, beginning with an offline Android proof-of-concept that meets your strict acceptance criteria. I will build this with: Flutter-based Android/iOS application, offline AMap GPS tracking with stable background location services, PHP backend with REST APIs and NetEase Yunxin SDK integration, real-time chat, nearby users, activity tracking, and a scalable architecture for future Phase 2 features. Using Flutter, native Android services for vendor-specific background location optimization (Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, Honor), AMap SDK, PHP/Laravel, MySQL, NetEase Yunxin SDK, and Firebase/APNs for notifications, this will be a high-performance application designed for stable long-term operation across Chinese Android devices while maintaining a shared codebase for Android and iOS. I have experience building location-based mobile applications, real-time messaging integrations, and Flutter applications with background services. I also confirm that I am willing to build the required offline Android demo as the first step according to your acceptance criteria. Let’s discuss. Best regards, Hammad

The bid amount and delivery time above are rough placeholders - we'll sharpen them once the demo passes and we work out the full scope of the formal app. We've dealt with background location on Chinese Android hardware before, and we know this is the hard part of the whole project. Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo all run custom OS layers that are extremely aggressive about killing background processes, and your 5-second interval requirement under lock screen and battery saver is exactly where most implementations fall apart. Your demo requirement makes sense - it's a real filter, and we're fine with it. Here's how we'd tackle the demo: - Background service: Android native foreground service running below the Flutter layer, not just a background_location plugin. This keeps the process alive under Doze, battery saver and lock screen on all four OEMs without relying on each manufacturer's whitelist. - Adaptive interval logic: speed threshold at 0.5 m/s to switch between 5s (moving) and 15s (stationary) intervals, applied in both foreground and background. The on-screen log shows state, interval, timestamp and GPS accuracy in real time so everything is visible during your test. - AMap integration: AMap Android SDK to draw the route live as points come in, fully offline with no server calls. - Device testing and video: we test on real Huawei and Xiaomi hardware and record a screen capture showing 30+ minutes of stable tracking under lock screen and battery saver conditions, with the log visible throughout. After the demo passes and we get the UI/UX designs, we'd build the formal app in Flutter with a PHP or Node.js backend handling the social and matching features, real-time chat and activity feeds. After a short scope chat we'll put together a proper proposal PDF covering milestones, timeline and firm pricing for Phase 1 and beyond.

Hi, The success of your demo won't depend on GPS accuracy alone. The real challenge is surviving aggressive background process management on Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo while still respecting Android's foreground service policies. Build the demo around a resilient background location architecture instead of device-specific workarounds. Add detailed tracking logs so every interval, state change, and accuracy issue is easy to verify during testing. Keep the codebase ready to evolve into the full Flutter app without rewriting the tracking module later. Phase 1 – Deliver the offline AMap tracking prototype with clean, documented source code. Phase 2 – Extend the same foundation into the complete Flutter app with backend, IM integration, and location services. Phase 3 – Optimize stability, battery usage, and store readiness across Android and iOS. One important question: what acceptance method will you use to verify the required 5-second and 15-second tracking intervals on different Chinese Android brands?

Hi I confirm I can build the offline Flutter Android demo first, 100 percent offline with no server or APIs, using AMap for map display and real time route or trail drawing. I have hands-on experience with Android background location on Chinese devices, including Xiaomi MIUI, Huawei EMUI, OPPO ColorOS, Vivo Funtouch and power management restrictions, and I will implement the demo using a native foreground service based approach plus vendor friendly settings and robust permission handling to keep 5 second moving interval and 15 second stationary interval working under lock screen, background running, and battery saver modes. The demo will include an on screen log with state moving or stationary, interval, timestamp, and accuracy, and build instructions plus a short video showing continuous tracking for at least 30 minutes on real devices. After demo acceptance, I will proceed to Phase 1 in Flutter and align the backend architecture in PHP with your API design, database schema, and full integration of NetEase Yunxin into your user system. I am also willing to do the extra UI UX scope for an additional fee if you award UI/UX after the demo. Best, Justin

A 1-day “stable background GPS tracking across Huawei/Xiaomi/OPPO/Vivo, lock screen, battery saver, 5-second interval logging” is not a small demo requirement—it’s essentially a production-grade location service test under the strictest Android OEM restrictions. The hard truth is that Android background location is no longer just code. It’s a permission + foreground service + OEM battery policy battle. On Huawei and Xiaomi especially, aggressive power management will kill location updates unless the service is correctly structured, whitelisted behavior is accounted for, and the device-specific constraints are handled explicitly. A proper AMap-based tracking demo can absolutely be built, with state-based interval switching (moving vs stationary) and clear logging, but reliability across all listed Chinese devices cannot be guaranteed in a 24-hour “universal stability test” without device-specific tuning and real hardware validation cycles. What can be realistically done in a first offline demo is a clean Flutter or native Android foreground location service using AMap SDK, with speed-based state detection, persistent notification service, and structured logs showing movement, timestamps, and accuracy, running continuously under standard background conditions.

Hi, I can help build the Flutter sports/social app and start with the required offline Android GPS tracking demo before Phase 1. For the demo, I would implement continuous background GPS collection with AMap, route drawing on the map, movement/stationary detection, 5s moving interval, 15s stationary interval, visible logs for state, timestamp, interval and accuracy, plus lock-screen/background testing support. I understand the key challenge is stability on Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo and other Chinese Android devices, especially battery optimization and background restrictions. For Phase 1, I can build the Flutter app with SMS login, nearby users, sports activity tracking, user profiles, NetEase Yunxin IM integration, JPush notifications, permissions handling, analytics events, and PHP backend APIs with database schema and SDK integration. I’m comfortable working from your SDK list, including AMap, NetEase Yunxin, Aliyun SMS, JPush, permission handling, Hive/SharedPreferences, form validation, and analytics. I confirm I’m willing to build the offline demo as the first step under your required review process. Question 1: Will you provide the Huawei/Xiaomi/OPPO/Vivo devices for final acceptance testing, or should I arrange testing access? Question 2: For Phase 1 backend, do you already have a PHP framework preference, such as Laravel or ThinkPHP? Regards, Houssame
