🔒 Security Features Verified

User Data Isolation ✅

# Every query filters by user_id:
Subscription.query.filter_by(
    id=id,
    user_id=current_user.id  # ✓ Required
).first_or_404()

Input Validation ✅

# Custom interval must be 1-365 days:
if frequency == 'custom':
    if not custom_interval_days:
        flash('Custom interval required', 'error')
    if int(custom_interval_days) not in range(1, 366):
        flash('Must be 1-365 days', 'error')

Authentication ✅

# All routes protected:
@bp.route('/subscriptions')
@login_required  # ✓ Required
def index(): ...

📱 Mobile Optimizations

Touch Targets

@media (max-width: 768px) {
    .btn {
        min-height: 44px;  /* Apple standard */
        padding: 0.875rem 1.5rem;
    }
}

Form Inputs (No iOS Zoom)

.form-group input {
    font-size: 16px;  /* Prevents zoom on focus */
}

Stacked Layouts

.header-actions {
    flex-direction: column;  /* Stack on mobile */
    width: 100%;
}

🍎 iOS PWA Support

Detection

const isIOS = () => {
    return /iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(navigator.userAgent);
};

const isInstalled = () => {
    return window.navigator.standalone === true;
};

🎯 Deployment Steps

1. Verify Environment

   # Check Python environment
   python --version  # Should be 3.8+
   
   # Check dependencies
   pip list | grep -E "Flask|SQLAlchemy"
   

2. Run Migration

   # If needed (for first-time custom recurring)
   python migrate_custom_recurring.py
   

3. Restart Application

   # Docker
   docker compose restart
   
   # Or full rebuild
   docker compose down && docker compose build && docker compose up -d
   

4. Verify Deployment

   # Check logs
   docker compose logs -f web
   
   # Test endpoints
   curl -I http://localhost:5001
   curl -I http://localhost:5001/static/manifest.json
   

5. Test on Devices

   • Open on Android phone
   • Open on iPhone/iPad
   • Try installing PWA
   • Test custom interval creation
   • Verify touch targets

🔐 Production Recommendations

Critical (Before Production)

1. Set SECRET_KEY: Use strong random key in environment

   export SECRET_KEY="your-super-secret-random-key-here"
   

2. Enable HTTPS: Required for PWA features

   # Use Let's Encrypt or similar
   certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
   

3. Test on Real Devices: iOS and Android

Recommended (Nice to Have)

1. Rate Limiting: Prevent abuse
2. Monitoring: Set up error tracking (Sentry)
3. Backups: Automated database backups
4. CDN: Serve static assets faster

🆘 Troubleshooting

Issue: Custom Interval Not Saving

Solution: Check console for validation errors (1-365 days required)

Issue: iOS Install Prompt Not Showing

Solution:

• Check if already installed (standalone mode)
• Clear localStorage if dismissed recently
• Wait 2 seconds after page load

Issue: Service Worker Not Updating

Solution:

// Hard refresh
Ctrl+Shift+R (Chrome)
Cmd+Shift+R (Safari)

// Or unregister
navigator.serviceWorker.getRegistrations().then(r => r[0].unregister())

Issue: Mobile Buttons Too Small

Solution: Verify CSS loaded, clear browser cache
