What app maintenance and support actually is

App maintenance keeps a live app published

App maintenance is the retainer that keeps a live app fast, secure and on the store as the OS moves under it: iOS and Android ship a major version yearly, SDKs deprecate.

Stays published

OS updates, SDK deprecations and store-policy changes handled, so the app is never pulled or broken by a release you did not make.

Stays fast

Crash and performance monitoring with fixes shipped, so the app does not quietly degrade into one-star reviews.

Stays secure

Dependency and security patches applied, so a known vulnerability in a library is not your users’ problem.

What the retainer covers

The maintenance work we do every month

From OS-version updates to security patches, the work that keeps an app alive after launch.

Maintained, or left to rot

Kept alive, or broken at the next OS release

An unmaintained app does not stay still; it decays. The next OS version, the next policy change or the next disclosed vulnerability is what takes it down, usually at the worst time.

Cost shapeA large, urgent rebuild when it finally breaks.A predictable monthly retainer.
Maintenance is cheaper than a rescue

A monthly retainer that keeps the app current costs a fraction of an emergency rebuild after it has been pulled or breached. We keep it alive so you never need the rescue.

Why apps need maintenance

An app decays on its own if no one is watching

Nothing about an app stays still after launch. Four forces erode it, and a retainer exists to absorb each.

  1. 01of 04
    OS releasesEvery year

    iOS and Android each ship a major version a year, and old code breaks.

    APIs deprecate and behaviours change with every release. We test against the betas and update before your users upgrade, not after they complain.

    Our methodTested against OS betas, updated early.
  2. 02of 04
    SDK & library driftDependencies

    The libraries an app depends on get patched, deprecated and end-of-lifed.

    We keep dependencies current and patch disclosed vulnerabilities, so the app does not carry a known security hole into production.

    Our methodDependencies kept current and patched.
  3. 03of 04
    Store policyStay published

    Play and App Store policies change, and non-compliant apps get pulled.

    We track policy changes on data, permissions and billing, and update the app to stay compliant, so the listing stays live.

    Our methodTracked against changing store policy.
  4. 04of 04
    Quiet decayCrash creep

    Crash rates and slow screens creep up unless someone is measuring.

    We monitor the crash-free rate and performance, and fix regressions before they show up as falling ratings.

    Our methodCrash-free rate and performance watched.

What the engagement covers

From a health audit to a monthly cadence, end to end

Not a break-fix call centre. An audit, a stabilisation pass, then monitoring, updates and support on a retainer.

Our commitment

Our commitment, in writing

A maintenance retainer goes wrong when it is reactive, when access is unclear, or when you cannot tell what you are paying for. We work against all three.

  • You keep the keys

    Your repos, your store accounts and full access throughout. We maintain the app; we never hold it hostage.

  • Proactive, not reactive

    We test against OS betas and watch crash data, so we fix things before users do, not after a one-star review.

  • A clear SLA

    A written SLA on response and resolution, with a named contact, so you know what you get and who to call.

  • A senior team, named

    Senior engineers who know your app on the retainer, with one accountable lead, not a rotating bench.

Your app stays yours: repos, store accounts and all.
