Project Summary

Nickelfox developed an iOS app for a restaurant recommendation startup, working from initial wireframes and some preexisting code. The team refactored usable code, integrated APIs and CI tools, and used Google Cloud along with Python and Swift 3. The vendor delivered the project within the original estimate and timeline, with a few hundred downloads after launch.

Project Solution

Nickelfox developed an iOS app using provided wireframes and preliminary code. They assessed which parts of the preexisting codebase were reusable and refactored them into the app, incorporated Google Cloud, and implemented the app logic in Python and Swift 3. The vendor also supported design elements and the related web-based platform, integrating necessary APIs and CI tooling. The engagement was primarily executed by two people from the vendor team.
