Very cool. With the same approach were you able to manipulate prices or surge/no surge?

Wouldn't be very useful in real life, but if they have a bug bounty program you could report it.

I don't think this is the case. Setting this "isAdmin" flag simply caused the UI to be rendered. But I'm pretty sure that require any access to the remote API calls will be rejected.
