Mobile
development approach

Why this process is required

Developing a mobile app might look easy compared to some huge web project, but there are important questions to ask before work is started. Do you need a native app or a cross-platform solution? What additional resources will be used? How do you want to organize communication with the backend? These and some other questions are critical to building good solutions that can be supported and expanded. There are many different approaches to mobile app development, both varied as similar. We at GRT built our own, so here is our approach to mobile development. If You’d like to get more clarity on any of the points below, please CONTACT US!
Core of the process

Initial analysis

Before starting work with an existing application, we analyze its code. Our goal is to understand how good it is, whether it scales well, and how easy it would be to maintain the app in the future.  Prior to choosing us and our mobile development approach, we’ll determine together what’s most important to your app, as well as any limiting factors in terms of either budget, time and resources. The result of this phase is a document with strong and weak points of the existing product and a plan for improvements.

Cross-platform or Native

Creating cross-platform applications is a great way to save time and budget. Very often, business needs can be fulfilled by a cross-platform app without any losses in quality or performance. To make sure the application shows the best possible performance, we do a thoughtful analysis of the requirements, identifying the best development approach. Our goal is to pick the right solution from the beginning, avoiding any potential reworks.

Architecture

The next important step is to decide how exactly the app would be built. The architecture we chose greatly affects how easy it would be to maintain and enhance application. Based on our experience with multiple approaches, we decided to work with “Clean Architecture” for native apps. This architectural approach is quite flexible and scalable with nice testability and is suitable for apps of any size.

3rd party Integrations

Almost every app uses things like Google maps, payments, notifications, and so on. Before any of those tools are added to the mobile application, we carefully analyze how well they will fit and what issues may appear. Each integration should fully resolve related business needs as well as remain stable and easily maintainable for a long period of time.

Connection with backend

Very often we need to store or receive data in the app from the server. To achieve this, mobile and backend developers work together to create a very structured and easy-to-use backend API. In most cases, we use PHP (Laravel Framework) for a backend, but sometimes Firebase only is more than enough. We use a specialized set of tools to generate documentation and keep it up to date during the course of development.

Development cycle

The entire development is split on a set of milestones. Once the milestone is reached and tested, we send a build with features ready for confirmation. Often new functionality is added during the development, which is completely okay. Each new feature is discussed, estimated, and included in the project plan. As a result of this stage, You receive a well-tested application that is ready for production deployment.

Delivery and post support

Once the app is ready, we publish it on respective stores and start the post-support period. Terms for post support vary and can be changed for each specific case, but I’m sure we will find an option that works best!
