1. Contact tracing integration - When we were trying to implement contact tracing by using Bluetooth rid of nearby devices the connection of the native level was a great hurdle, at times the device was not able to scan any nearby device and at certain times it just went into infinite scanning loops, with a lot of research over this we finally controlled this random behavior by putting the functions into an abstraction layer which then passes the search results to native layer.

2. Matic Integration - When it comes to blockchain we had absolutely no knowledge on how it works, we took out some time and got onto the web to explore blockchain, with nearly 3 days of constant work we were able to understand blockchain, etherum and Matic network as a whole.
