Challenges we ran into

1. The Okto docs didn’t mention that we needed to enable Solana transfers in the Okto Dev Dashboard, which took time to figure out, but the Okto team was helpful.
2. Our app used router instead of navigate, but since it was wrapped in the OktoProvider component, we had to adjust the routing structure.
3. While using Expo for easy development, we faced issues with Google Sign-In and decided to switch to developing on an emulator.
