Project Summary

STX Next was contracted to add features to an iOS SDK and was later retained to develop an Android version. They integrated an Israeli-developed "Liveness" anti-spoofing library into the iOS SDK and provided iOS development, Android developers, QA support, and security consultation. The client praised the team's high-quality code, effective project management, responsiveness, and regular communication (daily discussions and weekly reviews). The engagement began as a short collaboration and was ongoing at the time of the review.

Key Challenges

  • Move the SDK from version one to version two within a short, month-long engagement
  • Implement anti-spoofing (liveness) to prevent photo-based authentication attacks
  • Deliver missing features quickly despite changing requirements

Project Deliverables

  • Updated iOS SDK (v2) with additional features
  • Integration of Liveness anti-spoofing library into the iOS SDK
  • Android version of the SDK/app
  • Quality assurance and testing support
  • Security consultation

Project Solution

STX Next provided a one-person iOS development resource (managed by a team leader) to implement required features and upgrade the SDK from v1 to v2. They integrated an Israeli-developed "Liveness" anti-spoofing library into the iOS SDK and incorporated it into the app flow. The vendor also supplied a couple of Android developers and a QA specialist, and began consulting with a security expert. The team worked via weekly sprints, used Atlassian JIRA and GitHub for project management and code collaboration, and communicated daily with the client.

Project Outcome

  • Initial iOS initiative completed successfully
  • High-quality code and timely deliverables with only minor, understandable delays
  • Improved communication and responsiveness with daily discussions and weekly reviews
  • Preparing to release the new platform version to clients
