Project Summary

Equaleyes developed and maintained iOS and Android applications for PixelPin, a picture-password login company, with the engagement beginning in December 2016. The scope expanded from modernizing existing apps to adding design updates and new functionality, including two-factor authentication and implementing the FIDO login protocol. The vendor was proactive, communicative, and trusted by the client; the apps have several hundred downloads and show low crash rates.

Key Challenges

Limited internal development bandwidth
Very small in-house team (two developers)
Need to deliver mobile apps for both iOS and Android
Mobile development being deprioritized while cloud system updates and design changes occurred

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile application
Android mobile application
Design updates and visual improvements
Two-factor authentication implementation
FIDO login protocol implementation
APK and TestFlight build delivery

Project Solution

Equaleyes took inherited code from the client and modernized the iOS and Android apps to match a web-app look, updating libraries and plugins and ensuring compatibility with current OS versions. Over time they provided design updates and added new functionality (for example two-factor login). More recently they implemented the FIDO login protocol according to its specifications. They also delivered test and release builds (APKs, iTunes/TestFlight) and acted as ongoing contractors providing development input and maintenance.

Project Outcome

Several hundred downloads
Low crash rate with most issues caught during testing
Reliable delivery process via APK and TestFlight builds
Strong vendor relationship with proactive project ownership
