  1. Principle With platform guidelines in our mind

    • Follow UX/UI Guidelines

      Both Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) for iOS and Google’s Material Design for Android have distinct design principles. Adhering to these guidelines ensures that your app provides a consistent and intuitive user experience on the platform.

    • Platform-specific features

      We take advantage of unique features provided by each platform, like widgets, notifications, or deep linking, but ensure that your app remains user-friendly across platforms.

    • Product launch planning

      Preparing builds for on-time Beta releases for Google play and AppStore as well as making sure that the internal and External Beta users always have the latest app versions.

  2. Principle We code for Performance

    • Optimize Resources

      Mobile devices have limited resources like CPU, memory, and battery life. We ensure that your app runs smoothly by optimizing resource usage.

    • Efficient Data Handling

      We use techniques such as caching, lazy loading, and pagination to ensure smooth scrolling and reduce loading times.

    • Memory Management

      Helping you properly manage memory usage, especially on iOS where retaining too many objects in memory can cause app crashes.

  3. Principle Modular Code Architecture

    • Use MVVM, MVP, or MVC

      These architectural patterns separate concerns, making code more maintainable and testable. MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) is especially popular in Android development, while MVP (Model-View-Presenter) is often used in iOS.

    • Separation of Concerns

      Keep business logic, UI code, and data management separate for easier maintenance and testing.

    • Independent deployment

      Reduces testing time (no need to run the entire app), Catches bugs closer to where they’re introduced, Enables easier CI/CD workflows, Promotes quality and faster iteration.

  4. Principle Maintainable and Scalable code

    • Clear Naming Conventions

      We make the codebase more readable for developers working on the project or revisiting the code later.

    • Reusable Components

      We write code creating reusable components for common UI elements or features to avoid duplicating code.

    • Testing

      Help you incorporate unit tests, UI tests, and integration tests to catch bugs early and ensure a stable product.

  5. Principle Effective use of Libraries and Frameworks

    • Leverage Native Libraries

      Both Android and iOS provide robust libraries for common functionalities like camera access, geolocation, and networking. Make use of these to avoid reinventing the wheel.

    • Use 3rd party libraries

      While third-party libraries can save time, they can also introduce bugs or unnecessary bloat. Always vet libraries for quality, community support, and compatibility.

  6. Principle Optimize for Battery and Performance

    • Avoid Heavy Background Tasks

      We limit the number of background tasks, as these can drain battery life.

    • Efficient Animations

      We use smooth animations and avoid overusing them, as excessive animations can negatively affect performance and battery life.

  7. Principle We Focus on Security

    • Secure Sensitive Data

      We use encryption (like AES) for sensitive data, and always secure user credentials (e.g., through OAuth, JWT). Avoid storing sensitive data in plaintext or insecure locations.

    • Use Secure APIs

      Ensure that the APIs your app interacts with are secure. Use HTTPS to encrypt communications and implement secure authentication.

    • Avoid Insecure Practices

      Prevent vulnerabilities like SQL injection, code injection, and improper handling of user input.

  8. Principle App Compatibility

    • Test on Multiple Devices

      Ensure that your app works well on different devices, with varying screen sizes, resolutions, hardware configurations or Ipad / Tablet Support

    • OS Version Compatibility

      We ensure backward compatibility with previous OS versions to reach a wider audience. However, you should aim to drop support for outdated OS versions over time.

  9. Principle Handle App Lifecycle Properly

    • App states

      Both iOS and Android have specific states an app can be in (foreground, background, killed). We make sure to handle them properly to ensure data persistence and prevent unnecessary tasks from running in the background.

    • Graceful Handling of Interruptions

      Handle incoming calls, messages, and other interruptions properly to provide a seamless experience.

  10. Principle Version Control

    • Use Git

      All code is tracked and versioned using a version control system like Git. It helps in collaboration and managing the app’s development cycle

    • Branching Strategy

      We help you adopt a solid branching strategy (e.g., GitFlow) to manage development, features, and releases effectively

  11. Principle Release Support

    • Beta Testing

      Launch beta versions of your app to collect user feedback and identify potential issues before the official release.

    • Iterate Based on Feedback

      Regularly collect user feedback to improve app functionality, fix bugs, and optimize the user experience.
