Project description:
"An Android-only social platform focused on real-time messaging is ready to move from concept to code. The heart of the product is a fast, reliable chat engine (one-to-one and group) with in-conversation file sharing for photos, videos, documents, and audio.

Desired flow
• Users create a profile with email or phone, then jump straight into chats.
• Messages, emojis, and attachments reach recipients in seconds, even on modest 4G connections.
• Upload and download progress bars, configurable size limits, and push notifications keep the experience smooth and predictable.

Tech preferences
Native Kotlin or a well-structured Flutter build compiled for Android is acceptable—the key is clean, modular code that runs flawlessly on Android 8 and above. Firebase (Realtime DB or Firestore) is the likely backend, though an equivalent scalable stack is welcome if it meets the same latency and security goals.

Deliverables
1. Complete source code with clear module separation, README, and build instructions.
2. Debuggable build for testing plus a signed, release-ready APK.
3. Setup notes covering server configuration, security rules, and push-notification enablement.

Acceptance criteria
• Chat and file sharing work without crashes on devices from 5.5″ to 6.8″.
• Round-trip message times stay under ~2 seconds for a closed beta of 100 users.
• All database reads/writes follow strict, user-scoped security rules.

Voice/video calling and end-to-end encryption are outside this first milestone but the architecture should leave room to add them later. Regular Friday test builds will keep the schedule transparent; launch is flexible within a few weeks once quality targets are met." (client-provided description)
