1. Install Flutter and Xcode (for iOS).
2. Install dependencies:

flutter pub get

3. Ensure Firebase config files are present (lib/firebase_options.dart and platform plist/json files). If needed:

dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
flutterfire configure --project tpeo-nf-project --out=lib/firebase_options.dart

4. Run the app:

flutter run -d ios

• Firebase project: tpeo-nf-project (wired via firebase.json).
• Firestore rules are currently permissive for signed-in users during development (firestore.rules).
• Storage rules allow public reads for provider/seed assets and authenticated writes (storage.rules).
• If notifications are enabled in-app, iOS permission prompts are triggered from the notifications settings page.

• Seed/demo data helpers live under lib/core/seeder/.
• Seed assets are under assets/seed_images/.
• Make sure Apple signing + bundle IDs are valid in the iOS project before building on device.
