## Configuration & Permissions
Configure the environment and platform-specific permissions required for network access.
1. Add the `http` package dependency via the terminal:
```bash
flutter pub add http

2. Import the package in your Dart files:
```dart
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

3. Configure Android permissions by adding the Internet permission to `android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`:
```xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
```
4. Configure macOS entitlements by adding the network client key to both `macos/Runner/DebugProfile.entitlements` and `macos/Runner/Release.entitlements`:
```xml
<key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
<true/>
```
