🔌 API Integration

// API Service Interface
interface StockApi {
    @GET("api/v1/signals")
    suspend fun getSignals(
        @Query("limit") limit: Int = 20,
        @Query("offset") offset: Int = 0
    ): List<Signal>

    @GET("api/v1/signals/{symbol}")
    suspend fun getSignal(
        @Path("symbol") symbol: String
    ): SignalDetail

    @GET("api/v1/analysis/{symbol}")
    suspend fun getAnalysis(
        @Path("symbol") symbol: String
    ): AnalysisResult

    @GET("api/v1/market/news")
    suspend fun getNews(): List<NewsItem>
}

💳 Payment Integration

// Google Play Billing
class SubscriptionManager(
    private val billingClient: BillingClient
) {
    // Subscriptions
    val PRO_SUBSCRIPTION = "pro_yearly"
    val PREMIUM_SUBSCRIPTION = "premium_yearly"

    suspend fun purchaseSubscription(
        activity: Activity,
        skuId: String
    ): PurchaseResult {
        // Launch Google Play billing flow
        // Handle purchase result
        // Activate subscription in backend
    }

    fun checkSubscriptionStatus(): Flow<SubscriptionState> {
        // Query purchases from Google Play
        // Check if active
        // Emit state
    }
}

🔔 Push Notifications

// Firebase Cloud Messaging
class NotificationManager {
    // Signal alerts
    fun sendSignalAlert(signal: Signal) {
        // High confidence signal detected
        // Send push notification
    }

    // Price alerts
    fun sendPriceAlert(symbol: String, price: Double) {
        // Price target reached
        // Send push notification
    }

    // Market news
    fun sendMarketNews(news: NewsItem) {
        // Major market news

💰 Revenue Projections

假设：
- 下载量: 1,000/月 (organic + paid ads)
- 转化率: 3% (app industry average)
- 平均价格: $12/year

Month 1:
- Downloads: 1,000
- Paid users: 30
- Revenue: $360

Month 6:
- Downloads: 10,000
- Paid users: 300
- Revenue: $3,600/月

Year 1 (保守):
- Total downloads: 50,000
- Total paid users: 1,500
- Annual revenue: $18,000

🔗 Distribution Channels

Channel	Revenue Share	Requirements
GitHub Releases	100%	None, but manual
APKMirror	100%	Free upload
Google Play	15-30%	$25 one-time fee
Huawei AppGallery	50%	Free, China market
Samsung Galaxy Store	30%	Free

策略:

• 主推GitHub Releases（100%收入）
• 次推Google Play（曝光+合法）
• 补充APKMirror（额外下载）

🛡️ Security

// API Key protection
object ApiConfig {
    // Store API key in encrypted SharedPreferences
    // Rotate key periodically
    // Implement certificate pinning
}

// Subscription verification
object SubscriptionVerifier {
    // Verify purchases with backend
    // Check receipt with Google Play
    // Implement anti-piracy checks
}

📊 Analytics Events
