Project Summary

A cryptography startup in New York City engaged DECODE to build native iOS and Android apps and an Electron desktop app to showcase its secure communications platform and cryptographic technology. DECODE implemented chat, file-share, and audio/video calling features, provided development and QA including CI/CD and test automation, and collaborated closely with the client's product and platform teams. The apps were delivered on schedule, outperformed the previous app, and received positive beta-user feedback.

Key Challenges

  • No in-house mobile development team and need to source external expertise.
  • Create a suite of appealing end-user applications that showcase state-of-the-art cryptographic technology.
  • Deliver enterprise-grade UX and features across multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS).

Project Deliverables

  • Native Android app
  • Native iOS app
  • Electron desktop app for Windows and macOS
  • Messaging and file-sharing features
  • Audio/video calling capability
  • CI/CD pipeline
  • Test automation suite and manual QA deliverables

Project Solution

DECODE was selected after a six-month due diligence process and workshops with senior staff. They developed native Android and iOS applications (Kotlin and Swift) and an Electron-based desktop app (React) for Windows and macOS. The team implemented chat, file-share, and audio/video calling capabilities integrated with the client's secure communication platform and cryptographic protocols. DECODE provided software development and quality assurance work, including CI/CD, test automation, and manual testing, while working closely with the client's product owner, scrum master, UX designer, and platform engineering team.

Project Outcome

  • Implemented all major features within the first 6–7 months as planned.
  • Exceeded expectations in productivity, efficiency, and technical expertise.
  • New app significantly outperformed the old version and received positive beta-user feedback.
  • Maintained effective cross-continental collaboration despite a 6-hour time difference.
  • Improved the client's internal processes through knowledge transfer and shared best practices.
