Mobile App Maintenance
OS upgrades, store policy changes and dependency drift handled before they break your release.
Mobile apps decay on someone else timetable. Apple and Google set target API deadlines, deprecate frameworks and change policy, and an app that shipped perfectly two years ago can be removed from a store for reasons unrelated to your business.
We keep published apps current: OS releases, store policy, dependency drift and the certificate renewals that otherwise fail at the worst moment.
How we approach it
We test against platform betas during the summer, before the autumn releases, so compatibility work is planned rather than an emergency in your busiest quarter.
Why this matters
-
Never removed from a store
Policy and target API deadlines tracked and met ahead of time.
-
Ready for OS releases
Beta testing through the year so major releases are uneventful.
-
Certificates never lapse
Signing certificates and provisioning profiles renewed on schedule.
-
Crashes fixed, not accumulated
Crash-free rate monitored, with regressions worked immediately.
What is included
-
Compatibility testing
Continuous testing against OS betas and new device form factors.
-
Dependency management
SDKs and libraries updated regularly rather than in one painful jump.
-
Store compliance
Privacy declarations, permissions and policy changes kept current.
-
Release management
Staged rollouts with monitoring and a rollback path.
How we deliver it
-
01
Onboard
Discovery of the published app as it stands, documented so we are not guessing during an incident.
-
02
Stabilise
The known problems cleared first, so ongoing work is not spent firefighting the same faults.
-
03
Operate
Monitoring, patching and response against the service levels we agreed in writing.
-
04
Improve
A visible backlog of improvements worked through alongside routine operations.
-
05
Review
Quarterly service reviews covering performance against target, incidents and spend.
What you receive
- Compatibility and dependency assessment
- Scheduled maintenance releases
- Crash and vitals monitoring dashboard
- Store compliance tracking
- Quarterly service report
