SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE DESIGNMobile Architecture
Design for Mobile Android and iOS Apps using either native development in Java/Kotlin/Swift or hybrid development for both platforms with React-Native. Porting existing Cordova, Phonegap Hybrid apps to native development or react-native.
Mobile applications evolve and change very quickly. They are the frontend of your solution, and therefore have to change fast to fulfill user needs in an effective way. This has become even more important now, when companies prefer mobile first approach when launching new solutions.
Research shows that mobile users value application functionality, speed, responsiveness, ease of usage and modern UX design. To stay competitive in the mobile field, an app has to combine all those aspects in a balanced way.
Typical challenges in mobile projects we see:
- Lack of responsiveness in an app hinders good user experience
- Problems with wider device support. Not being aware of existing compatibility problems
- New versions of Android and iOS that can break working app
- Incompatibilities caused by various app versions existing on user devices at the same time
- Late notifications for mobile users in time critical processes
- Lack of A/B tests and selective user features switching
- Longer development time for same features on both native iOS/Android platforms
- Unnecessary version updates compared to solution where part of content and features are updated without rolling out a newer version
- No event logging for specific device groups to enable diagnosis of user reported issues in production
- Slow manual test runs when introducing new features to solution
If you encountered mentioned challenges don't hesitate to contact us.
What we can do to solve those challenges:
- Porting of hybrid app to native development for faster responsive user experience
- Build in CI/CD test automation for supported devices and OS versions
- Build Mobile/Backend version management for data and API
- Build Mobile/Backend Module for notification management, monitoring and tracing
- Build Mobile Feature A/B test management and bundle installations
- Optimise Development for both Android and iOS for faster feature build
- Optimisze app changes to minimize number of new releases in app stores
- Build event gathering module for better production support
- Perform an audit of current architecture solution
- Perform a basic audit for security - for more advanced please check our Security Hardening Services
- Prepare a redesign of existing functionalities
- Prepare architecture design for new features
- Prepare architecture design for mobile automatic tests in CI/CD processes
Although we are an IT architecture company, we can provide software development services in cases where solution complexity is high, and the use of highly skilled IT professionals is recommended.
We also optimise standard development industry processes like CI/CD for mobile apps, pilot testing, quality control for features & security. For details please take a look on our Software Development Optimisation services.
