🎯 Response Format Compatibility

APK Expects:

{
  "resultCode": 0,
  "message": "Success",
  "data": { ... }
}

Server Returns:

public class SynergyResponse<T>
{
    public int resultCode { get; set; }
    public string message { get; set; }
    public T data { get; set; }
}

Status: ✅ PERFECT MATCH

---

🔐 Authentication & Headers

APK Sends:

Header	Value	Server Handles?
EAM-SESSION	Session UUID	✅ Logged & stored in context
EAM-USER-ID	Synergy ID	✅ Logged & stored in context
EA-SELL-ID	Marketplace (e.g., GOOGLE_PLAY)	✅ Logged & stored in context
SDK-VERSION	Nimble SDK version	✅ Logged
SDK-TYPE	"Nimble"	✅ Accepted
User-Agent	App identifier	✅ Accepted
Content-Type	application/json	✅ Accepted

Middleware: SynergyHeadersMiddleware + SessionValidationMiddleware
Status: ✅ FULLY IMPLEMENTED

---

🔒 SSL/TLS Compatibility

APK SSL Configuration:

// APK accepts ANY SSL certificate!
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(
    SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER
);

This means:

• ✅ Self-signed certificates work
• ✅ No need for CA-signed cert
• ✅ Community server can use dev certs

Server Configuration:

app.UseHttpsRedirection(); // Enforces HTTPS

Status: ✅ COMPATIBLE - APK will accept your self-signed cert

---

📦 Asset Delivery System

NEW: AssetsController (/content/api/*)

Features:

• ✅ Serves .pak files matching Cloudcell CDN pattern
• ✅ MD5 verification on download
• ✅ Manifest endpoint (/content/api/manifest)
• ✅ Asset status check (/content/api/status)
• ✅ Range requests support (resume downloads)
• ✅ Access tracking & statistics

Configuration (appsettings.json):

{
  "AssetsBasePath": "Assets/downloaded",
  "ServerSettings": {
    "EnableAssetDownloads": true
  }
}

When Discord provides assets:

1. Place .pak files in E:\rr3\RR3CommunityServer\RR3CommunityServer\Assets\downloaded\
2. Server will automatically serve them at /content/api/{assetPath}
3. APK will download as if from EA's CDN

Status: ✅ READY (waiting for asset files)

🔧 What Happens When Assets Arrive?

Step-by-Step Integration:

1. Discord provides .pak files

   # Place files in:
   E:\rr3\RR3CommunityServer\RR3CommunityServer\Assets\downloaded\
   

2. Server automatically detects & serves them

   • AssetsController handles /content/api/{path} requests
   • MD5 verification ensures integrity
   • Range requests allow resume

3. Import manifest data to database

   # Parse manifests and populate GameAssets table
   .\import-manifests.ps1
   

4. Modify APK to point to your server

   • Change Director URL from syn-dir.sn.eamobile.com → your-server-ip:5001
   • Or use DNS/hosts file redirect

5. Game downloads assets from your server!

   • APK requests: https://your-server:5001/content/api/gui_assets/...
   • Server serves: Assets/downloaded/gui_assets/...
   • Profit! 🎮

---

🚀 APK Modification Required

Option 1: Recompile APK (Recommended)

Steps:

1. Decompile APK with apktool
2. Find Director URL in res/values/strings.xml or native libs
3. Replace https://syn-dir.sn.eamobile.com with https://YOUR_SERVER_IP:5001
4. Recompile & sign APK

Option 2: Hosts File Redirect (Easier)

On Android device:

# Root required
# Add to /system/etc/hosts:
YOUR_SERVER_IP  syn-dir.sn.eamobile.com
YOUR_SERVER_IP  cloudcell.ea.com

On Windows (for emulator):

# C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
192.168.1.100  syn-dir.sn.eamobile.com
192.168.1.100  cloudcell.ea.com

Option 3: Network Proxy (Most Flexible)

Use mitmproxy or similar to redirect EA domains to your server.
