+# CropperServiceProvider Production Server Fix Guide
+
+## Problem
+The error `Class "Takeone\Cropper\CropperServiceProvider" not found` occurs on the production server when trying to install/reinstall the `takeone/cropper` package.
+
+## Root Causes
+1. **Composer.json Issue**: Package was set to `@dev` instead of `dev-main`, causing conflicts with `minimum-stability: stable`
+2. **Namespace Case Sensitivity**: The service provider had a lowercase namespace reference that needs to be fixed
+3. **Cached Bootstrap Files**: Stale cache files referencing the old service provider
+
+## Solution Steps for Production Server
+
+### Step 1: Update composer.json (Already Done Locally)
+The `composer.json` has been updated to change:
+- From: `"takeone/cropper": "@dev"`
+- To: `"takeone/cropper": "dev-main"`
+
+**Action**: Commit and push this change to your repository, then pull it on the production server.
+
+### Step 2: On Production Server - Clean Installation
+
+Run these commands in order:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Clear all Laravel caches first
+php artisan config:clear
+php artisan cache:clear
+php artisan route:clear
+php artisan view:clear
+php artisan optimize:clear
+
+# 2. Remove bootstrap cache files
+rm -f bootstrap/cache/services.php
+rm -f bootstrap/cache/packages.php
+
+# 3. Remove the package completely (if it exists)
+composer remove takeone/cropper --no-scripts
+
+# 4. Clear composer cache
+composer clear-cache
+
+# 5. Install the package with the correct version
+composer require takeone/cropper:dev-main
+
+# 6. If step 5 fails, try updating composer.lock
+composer update takeone/cropper
+
+# 7. Regenerate autoload files
+composer dump-autoload
+
+# 8. Discover packages
+php artisan package:discover --ansi
+
+# 9. Verify installation
+php artisan about
+```
+
+### Step 3: Fix Namespace Issue in Vendor Package
+
+After successful installation, fix the namespace case sensitivity issue:
+
+**File**: `vendor/takeone/cropper/src/CropperServiceProvider.php`
+
+**Line 24** - Change from:
+```php
+Route::post('/image-upload', [\takeone\cropper\Http\Controllers\ImageController::class, 'upload'])->name('image.upload');
+```
+
+**To**:
+```php
+Route::post('/image-upload', [\Takeone\Cropper\Http\Controllers\ImageController::class, 'upload'])->name('image.upload');
+```
+
+**Note**: This is a vendor file change. Ideally, this should be fixed in the source repository at `https://git.innovator.bh/ghassan/laravel-image-cropper`
+
+### Step 4: Final Verification
+
+```bash
+# Clear all caches again
+php artisan optimize:clear
+
+# Verify the application works
+php artisan about
+
+# Check if the package is discovered
+php artisan package:discover --ansi
+```
+
+## Alternative: If Installation Still Fails
+
+If the above steps don't work, try this alternative approach:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Temporarily allow dev stability
+composer config minimum-stability dev
+composer config prefer-stable true
+
+# 2. Install the package
+composer require takeone/cropper:dev-main
+
+# 3. Restore stability settings
+composer config minimum-stability stable
+
+# 4. Update composer
+composer update --lock
+```
+
+## Permanent Fix Recommendation
+
+**For the Package Maintainer**:
+1. Fix the namespace issue in the source repository
+2. Create a stable release/tag for the package (e.g., v1.0.0)
+3. Update composer.json to use a stable version instead of dev-main
+
+**In composer.json**, change:
+```json
+"takeone/cropper": "dev-main"
+```
+
+**To** (once a stable version is released):
+```json
+"takeone/cropper": "^1.0"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Error: "Could not find a version of package takeone/cropper matching your minimum-stability"
+**Solution**: Use `dev-main` instead of `@dev` in composer.json
+
+### Error: "Class 'Takeone\Cropper\CropperServiceProvider' not found"
+**Solution**: 
+1. Clear all caches
+2. Remove bootstrap cache files
+3. Fix namespace in vendor file
+4. Run `composer dump-autoload`
+
+### Error: "Concurrent process failed with exit code [1]"
+**Solution**: 
+1. Don't run as root (if possible)
+2. Use `--no-scripts` flag when removing packages
+3. Clear bootstrap cache before operations
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. **composer.json** - Changed package version from `@dev` to `dev-main`
+2. **vendor/takeone/cropper/src/CropperServiceProvider.php** - Fixed namespace case sensitivity
+
+## Verification Checklist
+

+## Production Server - Action Required
+
+### Issue Identified:
+The production server has `minimum-stability: stable` but the package was using `@dev` which caused installation failures.
+
+### Solution Created:
+✅ Created comprehensive guide: `CROPPER_PRODUCTION_FIX.md`
+
+### Quick Fix for Production:
+
+1. **Pull the updated composer.json** (already fixed locally)
+2. **Run these commands on production server:**
+
+```bash
+# Clear caches
+php artisan optimize:clear
+rm -f bootstrap/cache/services.php
+rm -f bootstrap/cache/packages.php
+
+# Reinstall package
+composer remove takeone/cropper --no-scripts
+composer clear-cache
+composer require takeone/cropper:dev-main
+composer dump-autoload
+
+# Verify
+php artisan package:discover --ansi
+php artisan about
+```
+
+3. **Fix namespace in vendor file** (same as local):
+   - File: `vendor/takeone/cropper/src/CropperServiceProvider.php`
+   - Line 24: Change `\takeone\cropper\` to `\Takeone\Cropper\`
+
 ## Summary:
 
-✅ **FIXED**: The CropperServiceProvider error has been successfully resolved!
+### Root Causes Found:
+1. ❌ **Composer Version Constraint**: Used `@dev` instead of `dev-main`
+2. ❌ **Namespace Case Sensitivity**: Lowercase namespace in service provider
+3. ❌ **Stale Bootstrap Cache**: Old service provider references
 
-### What was done:
-1. Cleared all bootstrap cache files that were causing stale service provider references
-2. Fixed namespace case sensitivity issue in `vendor/takeone/cropper/src/CropperServiceProvider.php`
-   - Changed: `\takeone\cropper\Http\Controllers\ImageController::class`
-   - To: `\Takeone\Cropper\Http\Controllers\ImageController::class`
-3. Cleared all Laravel caches (config, cache, routes, views)
-4. Regenerated composer autoload files
-5. Optimized Laravel and rediscovered packages
-6. Verified application runs without errors
+### Fixes Applied:
+1. ✅ **composer.json**: Changed to `dev-main` for proper version constraint
+2. ✅ **CropperServiceProvider.php**: Fixed namespace case sensitivity
+3. ✅ **Cache Management**: Cleared all Laravel and bootstrap caches
+4. ✅ **Documentation**: Created production deployment guide
 
-### Package Status:
