Challenges
Manage Chatting Functionality in Website
In the Earning Pig website client wanted to integrate the same chat functionality like an app. So we need to integrate firebase cloud messaging on a website for the chat feature. As the firebase cloud messaging PHP SDK is under the beta version, it was a bit tough for our web developers. After some team discussion and in-depth research, our developers have integrated the same functionality using web javascript SDK.
Manage Block Scenario in Secret Message
Earning pig has a block functionality like when a user blocks someone at the time their all details like profile, like, comment, etc. need to be eliminated from earning pig. And one more thing, our developers have to maintain the username in the secret message list. If a blocked user has done any anonymous chat, we must ensure that the username cannot come in the block list with its name. To implement the whole scenario, our developers have maintained a flag by passing different parameters. After that, we get that parameter, and then we have set the username accordingly.
Manage Paytm Transaction
As per the app scenario, we have integrated Paytm for some transactions. At the time of development, it works perfectly but to convert Paytm from staging level to live was a little bit tough. To resolve this difficulty, we have contact Paytm and made some transactions as per they instructed us. After this experiment, we have successfully activated our live credentials and resolve this challenge.
