Project Summary

Darly Solutions created a Capacitor-based hybrid mobile wrapper for a social enterprise's existing web application, configuring builds for Android and iOS and implementing deep links, push notifications, and app store deployment instructions. The launch expanded the app's reach to volunteers, nonprofits, and companies, improved performance and maintainability, and enabled updates that previously took days or weeks to be deployed in hours. The vendor delivered on time, communicated clearly, and provided ongoing support through challenges such as the Apple App Store review.

Key Challenges

Update mobile app so updates can happen faster and more cost-effective

Project Deliverables

GitHub repo
Working Android and iOS builds
Documentation
Signed builds or build instructions for app store deployment
Configured Capacitor project with server.url and WebView support
Deep link support (custom scheme and universal links)
Splash screen and app icon
Push notification setup

Project Solution

Set up a Capacitor-based mobile wrapper for the client's existing web application that loads a remote URL via server.url. Configure and build the project for both Android and iOS, implement deep linking (custom schemes and universal links), add splash screen and app icon, ensure WebView file upload/download functionality and proper hardware back-button behavior, set up push notifications, and provide signed builds or instructions and documentation.

Project Outcome

Launched a hybrid mobile app that reaches a much wider audience of volunteers, nonprofits, and companies
Reduced update deployment time from days or weeks to hours
Improved app performance and maintainability
Delivered all items on time with clear, responsive communication
Continued support through Apple App Store review until app approval
