React Native App Development Company

At this step, Agicent’s analysts and development team understand the overall scope of the work and then break those down into weekly sprints and prioritize their development sequence according to client’s launch vision. A detailed project scope documentation is created here followed by the wireframes or clickable prototype of the design.

Based on the overall scope of the work, our UI/ UX experts create the wireframes at first. Those wireframes are to depict the flow of the application for different user types and personas and once approved we convert those wireframes into beautiful high definition figma designs and again release those for customer’s approval and collaboration.

Although as simple as it may sound, but this is the most critical process of the product development process. Our UX experts create the designs considering the audience, geography, category, industry, trends like critical factors and do as many iterations as our client wants till they are approved. We also take care of the fact that designs we are creating are actually easily achievable and feasible by the code and we can do so because of our combined development + design + marketing and branding experience. Overall, it offers high quality consulting to our clients.

We always have react native app development setup ready to initiate new projects so there is no time lost in that part. The project is divided into weekly sprints with achievable targets defined and right engineers are allocated.

All dependencies like requirement of API endpoints from the backend developer, hosting environment setup, test cases and automated testing scripts setup etc is done here.

The unique thing in Agicent’s product development process is that – rather than doing the regular functionality first (like login screens, signup etc) we do the most complex part of the project at first. This strategy comes from our years of experience where we’ve seen that developers by large tend to leave the critical functionality for later while complete the regular ones at first but at the end the overhead of that critical development becomes actually very big. We experienced this in couple of our projects many years back and since then decided that we are going to do the most complex part of the project at first because when it is done everything else becomes a cake walk and also cuts down the project anxiety completely.

It also helps in launching quick MVPs with just core functionality because that is what your early users and investors would intend to see at first before any standard login/ signup/ profile creation screens. We are humbly proud to say that we know our job of “product development” and not just coding!

• Creation of components with an emphasize of making them re-usable and scalable.
• Implement state management using tools like Redux, context Api.
• Integration with the APIs : including our own backend APIs as well as any third party APIs required for the project for fetching the data or doing a certain functionality.
• Cross platform compatibility : Our designers make includes writing platform specific code wherever needed in case of iOS and Android.

• Creation of the elaborated test cases right from the day one and executing them with every new adhoc release (progressive release during testing).
• Unit testing of different components and functions individually.
• Integration testing to ensure different parts of the app are working as expected.
• UAT: doing end to end testing of the whole product including backend, front end, regression, etc.
• Automated Testing: using tools like appium, jest and sometimes writing our own test code to perform test tasks automatically.

• Debugging using react native debugger, Flipper or built in console to identify the bugs and fixing them at the same time at developer’s end only.
• Hot reloading: a constant verification of the implemented changes to ensure if they are working good or not.
• Optimize the App for better performance by optimizing the load time, API calls frequency, cache implementation, minimizing bundle size, CDN implementation.

• Preparing the app builds to be submitted to their respective stores as adhoc builds first then for beta release and ultimately for the final release. The file types for iOS will be .IPA and for Android will be .APK.
• Using Testflight (for apple) and Google play beta for beta testing.
• Preparing the hosting server for hosting the backend (DB, APIs, AI components) on a cloud server like Google, Azure or AWS. Configuring the server for optimized spend and performance.
• Go live on the app stores with live servers.

• Regular monitoring of the App using various underlying scripts that can track critical performance aspects like crashes, load time, processing, payment and transactions etc.
• Regular upkeep and also enhancements on the app.
• Continuous updating of the test cases as the app grows with more users and features.
• Fixing of any bugs reported by the end users on hot priority and also bugs reported by the client of our internal testing team.
• Updating the App for any minor or major OS version upgrade.
• Updating the App to be compatible with any new change occurring with any of the third party APIs used in the App (could be payment API, maps, authentication APIs, location API, data source APIs and so on).
• Regular data backup to meet with any future data lost situations.
• Regular data updating and also creating SDKs for the App if needed.
• Regular backend and server side maintenance.
