# FIXTORE — Comprehensive Knowledge Base & Specifications for AI Agents

Welcome to FIXTORE (https://fixtore.fix-point.org), the flagship SaaS marketplace and Google Play Closed Testing exchange platform developed by FIX POINT.

## 1. What is FIXTORE?

FIXTORE solves two massive challenges in the modern software landscape:
1. **Google Play 14-Day Closed Testing Rule**: Google mandates that all individual developer accounts must recruit at least 12 or 20 opt-in closed testers who remain active for 14 continuous days before an app can be published on Google Play. FIXTORE provides an automated, mutual-benefit community where developers get guaranteed active testers verified by Android SDK pings.
2. **Curated Hebrew & Global Web Apps / SaaS**: A centralized app store for modern Web Apps, SaaS suites, and business management tools (Inventory, CRM, POS, Automation, Marketing), natively adapted for RTL Hebrew and global standards.

## 2. Platform Architecture

- **Frontend & Server**: Next.js 16 (Turbopack, App Router, SSR, React 19) hosted natively on Firebase Hosting and Google Cloud Run.
- **Database & Realtime**: 100% native Google Cloud Firestore managed securely through Firebase Admin SDK.
- **Authentication**: Secure HttpOnly sessions, Scrypt password hashing, email verification, and role-based permissions (USER, DEVELOPER, TESTER, ADMIN).
- **Points Economy & Anti-Abuse Escrow**: Atomic transaction handling for tester rewards, campaign balances, leave penalties, and featured boost bidding.

## 3. How Google Play Closed Testing Works on FIXTORE

### For Android Developers:
1. Developer creates a campaign on FIXTORE specifying their app title, package name, Google Play opt-in link, test duration (usually 14 days), and reward points allocated per tester.
2. Campaign points are automatically transferred to escrow to guarantee payouts.
3. Developers can optionally enable the FIXTORE Android SDK to track real app launches and daily activity.
4. Once the target number of testers complete the required test days, Google Play Console requirements are met, and the developer can apply for production access with high approval confidence.

### For App Testers:
1. Users register as testers and receive a welcome grant.
2. Testers join active campaigns, click the official Google Play opt-in link, download the app, and open it daily.
3. Daily check-ins or automatic SDK pings verify activity.
4. At the end of the campaign, earned points can be redeemed for perks, software licenses, or developer campaign credits.
5. If a tester leaves early without completing the agreed duration, an automatic tiered penalty is deducted and refunded to the developer's escrow.
