Project Summary

CactusSoft developed an iOS version of an existing Android mobile app for a company that makes portable printers, implementing features to monitor printer ink and battery. The vendor designed the GUI, implemented iOS-specific functionality, and integrated the app with the printer communication protocol. The team has kept the project on schedule, met functional specifications, and demonstrated professional and responsive project management.

Key Challenges

Create an iOS version of the existing Android app
Test the app with new developers while maintaining functionality parity across platforms

Project Solution

CactusSoft received the printer communication protocol, Android sample code, and specifications from the client and used these to implement an iOS version of the mobile app. They designed the graphical user interface, proposed implementation ideas, and built iOS-specific features while striving for feature parity across platforms. The vendor assigned a project manager and a development team of about five to six people, followed the agreed schedule, and partially deployed the app.
