Challenge
LuminAID approached us with a partially complete iOS app that had difficulty connecting and controlling their lights. With a long list of requirements and an upcoming demonstration only 30 days away it was imperative that we complete the iOS app on time before developing the companion Android app.
Solution
Our team of iOS and Bluetooth experts worked with LuminAid’s team to understand their requirements and help strategize priorities. We rapidly revamped their app include missing features and connect to and control multiple lights simultaneously with zero delays. Within less than 30 days we were able to finish the iOS app in time for LuminAid’s demonstration.
Strategy
Demo Day
We worked closely with LuminAID’s team to develop a strategy that worked for them. We first tackled the main issues in their existing iOS app so they were prepared for their important demo.
Bluetooth Integration
Fine-tuning our focus we worked on strengthening all Bluetooth connections between mobile devices and lights so all light response times were instantaneous.
Synchronous Development
Structuring this project so work could be done simultaneously across teams and platforms was a critical component. With the iOS demo app complete we had enough of a framework to finish out the new iOS feature and enhancement requirements while simultaneously building the new Android app.
Results
We were able to complete and deliver the new LuminAID iOS and Android app in time for their 2018 holiday release.
