Full Specification for Investigating and Fixing iOS Camera Pod Module in Flutter App

Project Overview
This project involves identifying and resolving an issue where an iOS camera pod module integrated into a Flutter app is not transmitting complete data to the Flutter side. The app is designed to capture facial/body color data, and while one parameter (selfie images) is successfully transmitted, other parameters (e.g., color data) are not being received. The issue appears localized, as the module has previously worked, and no recent changes have been made to the iOS camera pod or API communication.

This specification is designed to filter out time-wasters and ensure only skilled, experienced professionals apply. Developers who attempt to misrepresent their skills or overinflate time estimates will not be entertained.

Key Facts:
- The module worked as intended in the past.
- The Flutter app successfully executes the iOS camera module and receives a response for one parameter (selfies).
- The other parameters (e.g., color data) are not being received by Flutter.
- An independent iOS developer confirms the camera module code is functional and unchanged for the past 3 months (and minimally changed in the last 6 months).
- The current developer has been unable to resolve the issue.

Key Requirements
- Technical Expertise
- Demonstrated experience with Flutter as the main app framework.
- Proven ability to troubleshoot and integrate iOS camera pods with Flutter apps via MethodChannel.
- Familiarity with iOS camera frameworks for capturing and transmitting data, including color detection.
- Strong debugging skills for identifying communication issues between Flutter and native iOS modules.

- Deliverables
- Investigate and resolve the issue with the iOS camera pod module, ensuring all parameters (including color data) are transmitted to Flutter.
- Document all changes and steps taken to resolve the issue.
- Push code updates to the private Git repository twice daily for independent review.
- Ensure all updates are functional, thoroughly tested, and meet quality standards.
- Push the finalized app to the Apple Store for approval.

- Work Process
- Step 1: Partial Code Access – Access to the relevant parts of the codebase for review and to propose a solution.
- Step 2: Full Code Access – Upon approval of the proposed solution, full access to the codebase for implementing the fix.
- Step 3: Implementation – Resolve the issue, test the changes, and push updates twice daily for review.
- Step 4: Final Delivery – Ensure the app is fully functional, the issue is resolved, and the updated app is submitted to the Apple Store for approval.

- Communication and Collaboration
- Sign an NDA before accessing the codebase.
- Communication must occur outside of the platform for practical reasons. However, this does not imply or intend that payments will happen outside the platform.
- Payments will be made via escrow services, ensuring transparency and security for both parties.
- Immediate start is required upon qualification. If you cannot begin immediately, do not bid.

Timeframe
- For a skilled developer, the setup process might take slightly longer than implementing the fix.
- The expected timeframe for resolving the issue is within a few hours once the environment is properly set up.

Non-Negotiable Terms
- Updates must be provided twice daily, and progress must be visible and measurable.
- Failure to demonstrate tangible progress or any unethical behavior will result in immediate termination of the agreement.

Additional Notes
- The app functions purely as an interface; all processing logic resides on the server.
- The iOS camera module and API communication have been thoroughly analyzed, confirming their functionality. Comments on the quality of the code are unnecessary and will not be entertained.

FVM Instructions (if needed)
1. Install FVM (Flutter Version Manager) using `pub global activate fvm`.
2. Initialize FVM for the specific project folder with `fvm use 3.3.8`.
3. Run the Flutter commands for the project using `fvm flutter ` to ensure the correct version is used.
4. Note: If you know how to use FVM, this should not require further explanation.
