Package Contents:

1. Documentation
2. Android Studio 4.1.0+ workspace
3. Server: Backend APIs in an encrypted format

Requirements:

1. A VPS (preferably with Ubuntu 16.04 or CentOS7). You can get one of these for a price low as 5$/month. For recommendations contact through email.
2. A Google Maps account with billing enabled which would cover low scale free of charges but could have costs to be paid for Google Maps services if your scale goes high.

Support:

1. Codecanyon Mobile app authors are exempted from offering support on their item. That is understandable because mobile apps are source codes and being able to use/customize them require prior experience with development. Nonetheless ridy on it's own has some support offerings. All of the buyers would have access to an exclusive customer panel support.ridy.io with premium support (Free & Paid) and ability to order services they might require. This includes installation and customization such as implementation of payment gateways.
