React Native App Development Process at Agicent

1. REACT NATIVE APP DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

2. REACT NATIVE APP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AT AGICENT Step 1 - Discovery Phase Step 2 - Wireframes and UI/ UX Design Our UI/UX experts first create wireframes to illustrate the app flow for different user personas. After client approval, we convert them into high-definition Figma designs. Our UX team ensures designs align with audience, industry, and trends, doing multiple iterations until client satisfaction, while ensuring feasibility with coding. At this step, Agicent’s analysts and development team understand the overall scope of the work and then break those down into weekly sprints and prioritize their development sequence according to client’s launch vision. A detailed project scope documentation is created here followed by the wireframes or clickable prototype of the design. Step 4 - Standard React Native Development Step 3 - Tech Stack, Setup, and Sprint Initiation At Agicent, we start React Native app projects instantly with a weekly sprint setup. Dependencies like API endpoints, hosting, and testing are handled early. Our unique approach tackles the most complex functionality first, based on years of experience, reducing project anxiety and simplifying subsequent tasks. This method enables faster MVP launches with core features that investors and early users prioritize. We pride ourselves on our product development expertise, not just coding. Creation of components with an emphasize of making them re-usable and scalable. Implement state management using tools like Redux, context Api. Integration with the APIs : including our own backend APIs as well as any third party APIs required for the project for fetching the data or doing a certain functionality. Cross platform compatibility : Our designers make includes writing platform specific code wherever needed in case of iOS and Android.

Hot reloading: a constant verification of the implemented changes to ensure if they are working good or not. Optimize the App for better performance by optimizing the load time, API calls frequency, cache implementation, minimizing bundle size, CDN implementation. Creation of the elaborated test cases right from the day one and executing them with every new adhoc release (progressive release during testing). Unit testing of different components and functions individually. Integration testing to ensure different parts of the app are working as expected. UAT: doing end to end testing of the whole product including backend, front end, regression, etc. Automated Testing: using tools like appium, jest and sometimes writing our own test code to perform test tasks automatically.

4. REACT NATIVE APP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AT AGICENT Step 7 - Deployment, Hosting, Going Live Step 8 - Post-Launch Support & Maintenance Regular monitoring of the App using various underlying scripts that can track critical performance aspects like crashes, load time, processing, payment and transactions etc. Regular upkeep and also enhancements on the app. Continuous updating of the test cases as the app grows with more users and features. Fixing of any bugs reported by the end users on hot priority and also bugs reported by the client of our internal testing team. Updating the App for any minor or major OS version upgrade. Updating the App to be compatible with any new change occurring with any of the third party APIs used in the App (could be payment API, maps, authentication APIs, location API, data source APIs and so on). Regular data backup to meet with any future data lost situations. Regular data updating and also creating SDKs for the App if needed. Regular backend and server side maintenance. Preparing the app builds to be submitted to their respective stores as adhoc builds first then for beta release and ultimately for the final release. The file types for iOS will be .IPA and for Android will be .APK. Using Testflight (for apple) and Google play beta for beta testing. Preparing the hosting server for hosting the backend (DB, APIs, AI components) on a cloud server like Google, Azure or AWS. Configuring the server for optimized spend and performance. Go live on the app stores with live servers.

5. Best Practices followed by Agicent React Native App Development Company 1. Preparation, Architecture, Tech Stack identification First and foremost, we critically analyze if the App project is a good candidate for cross platform or react native development or not. In some pretty niche Apps, native can still be a technology of choice so ruling out this possibility is most important first step. Once it is identified that react native is the tech of choice, we then figure out the backend stack (like node.js or graphql, or traditional LAMP stack), or web front-end third-party libraries, like vue.js, typescript, redux etc. If it’s a regular kind of app that we do time and again (like a dating app or ecommerce app, or healthcare app) then we decide on tech stack in few hours only; if it is a niche one- of-a-kind project (like an AI based app suggesting you medicine dosage or an App that heavily uses some third- party APIs for its core function – like creating digital avatars or facilitates Holoportation) then we take more than few hours to check on libraries, their scalability with react native and then decide.

Create and Follow Documentation, Make Project Wiki Description of the desired project outcome will help you to keep on track the work. Documentation of the code will be an incredible source to know about HOW and most importantly WHY things had been done in a particular way. Business logic, especially in bigger projects, is sometimes hard to comprehend for a newly introduced React Native Developer and an easily available documentation is the best solution to preempt such situation. In fact, creating a project wiki is your best bet that will help any future developers to comprehend and understand and work on the project most efficiently. Successful projects need proper controlling over development and testing, which is easy with documentation.

7. Best Practices followed by Agicent React Native App Development Company 3. Consider creating PoC for Projects that Heavily Depend Upon Third Party Technologies As the title suggests, if the project is not so regular type and is heavily dependent upon third party libraries or technologies (like an AI library, or a hardware API) and when we’ve not used that critical tech before, we insist on creating a proof of concept (PoC) first just to demonstrate the feasibility of the core functionality. Most of the times we do it for free (if PoC takes less than 40 hours) or charge very humbly in case it is a big PoC. We recently created a PoC of a crypto marketplace App which shows market data crunching data from various third-party APIs and it was done perfectly well and now the full project is on.

Consider the Importance of Platform Specific Design & Layout Since you’re dealing with a cross platform technology, it is important to make sure that design and layout renders perfectly right on all sizes of iOS and Android devices. Taking care of this from the day 1 will save a lot of time later on. 5. Performance optimization, Build optimization Native applications are top performers because they use stock APIs, patters, and enjoy best support from the OEM’s OS and hardware and you achieve great performance by the virtue of the platform. However, in case of creating a react native app, which is cross platform by the way you have to use a variety of testing tools (like Appium, jest, detox etc), be more meticulous for performance parameters, and optimize your code for best performance across different devices. It can be a time-consuming exercise at times, but totally worth it and warranted.

9. Best Practices followed by Agicent React Native App Development Company 6. Prioritize App’s Security as Well as of its Backend The app shouldn't serve as a gateway to scammers who want to steal the data or take control over the user's phone. Security issues are crucial if app involves online payments or needs to store and use personal information. The major security issue is that mobile apps have access to data stored on mobile devices (smartphones, tablets). Here is our dedicated old (but Gold) blog post on Mobile App Security Best Practices.
