Project Summary

Brightgrove developed a mobile SDK for Android and iOS for a hearables company, focusing on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication and exposing convenient SDK APIs. The team worked in an agile cycle with intermittent releases and collaborated closely with the client's product team, including onsite visits for major releases. The client praises timely delivery and strong communication, while noting the vendor's onboarding and internal toolchain could have been stronger.

Key Challenges

  • Create a cross-platform mobile SDK for Android and iOS to allow brands to integrate the product
  • Adapt first-generation reference design to a second-generation architecture
  • Implement robust Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication and expose convenient APIs

Project Deliverables

  • Mobile SDK for Android and iOS
  • Sample application demonstrating device capabilities
  • Bluetooth 5 BLE stack implementation and SDK APIs
  • Intermittent release cycles with defined feature sets

Project Solution

Brightgrove was onboarded into the client's codebase and executed the development of a second-generation mobile SDK, adapting a reference design. They implemented Bluetooth 5 BLE communication for various profiles (L2CAP, FTP, GATT) and provided convenient SDK APIs. They also developed a sample application demonstrating features such as audio recording, device configuration, firmware update, and push-to-talk, and delivered intermittent releases in an agile cycle.

Project Outcome

  • Hit every release with all planned features
  • Improved collaboration through weekly syncs and onsite developer visits for major releases
  • Client described Brightgrove's work as invaluable

Quality of Deliverables

Brightgrove exceeds expectations in their timely delivery of intermittent releases that include all required features. The team communicates well and regularly travels to do onsite development. Although the team’s onboarding process could be smoother, internal stakeholders value them as a partner.
