Mobile App Maintenance

Apps are not finished when they ship. Apple releases a new iOS version every year. Google rolls out Play Store policy changes. Your users find bugs you missed. Without maintenance, your app decays — slowly at first, then catastrophically. I keep apps alive, fast, and compliant.

Your previous developer disappeared? I inherit abandoned projects and bring them back to life.

The calendar is not yours

This is what separates an app from a website. Apple ships a major iOS version every September, Android one a year, and each breaks something — a permission that changes shape, a UI component that shifts, a library that is no longer signed. Google also regularly enforces a minimum API level to keep publishing. So you do not choose when to intervene: the calendar is imposed on you, and the only question is whether you are ready when it arrives.

What actually breaks

Rarely the core of the app. What gives way are the edges: a third-party library abandoned by its author, an expired certificate, a revoked API key, a service that moved address, a new store rule. These failures share one trait — they happen without anyone touching the code, and they are discovered through store reviews if nobody is watching. A crash reporting tool costs almost nothing and sends the error with the device and version, before the one-star review.

What a maintenance agreement covers, and what it does not

It covers fixes, compatibility updates, republishing, crash monitoring and replies to reviews. It does not cover new features — those are quoted separately, and I would rather say so up front than pass a new feature off as a fix. You can also take nothing: the app keeps working, then degrades, then one day stops launching. That is your call, but make it knowingly.
