fix: resolve connectivity issues for Android and Web builds

- Android: Added INTERNET permission and enabled cleartext traffic in AndroidManifest.xml.
- Web: Implemented and registered CORSMiddleware in backend to allow cross-origin requests.
- Flutter: Updated SettingsProvider to use 10.0.2.2 as default for Android Emulator for easier local testing.
