UPDATE 4/22/2026 - RESUBMISSION:
Thank you for the detailed review. We have addressed all three items:
1. CHINA REMOVAL: China mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan have been removed from our distribution regions.
2. CHAT BUG: The AI chatbot feature has been removed from this release. We plan to reintroduce it in a future update after more thorough testing.
3. PLAY BUTTONS FIX: The video and podcast play buttons in Boot Camp did not work on iPad because the url_launcher was using LaunchMode.externalNonBrowserApplication, which required the YouTube/Spotify apps to be installed. We have changed this to LaunchMode.externalApplication with a fallback to Safari, which now opens content properly whether or not those apps are installed. We also added LSApplicationQueriesSchemes to Info.plist. Tested on iPad Air 11-inch simulator - all buttons now work correctly.
Thank you for your patience!
