iOS and Android OS Compatibility Update Service
OS updates break things quietly
When Apple or Google releases a major OS version, apps built on older SDKs can start behaving unexpectedly. Permissions dialogs change, background process rules tighten, and UI components that worked fine before may render incorrectly on new screen sizes or with new system fonts. Users do not always report these issues — they just uninstall.
What we assess and fix
We start with a full compatibility audit against the current iOS and Android versions. We identify deprecated method calls, broken permission flows, and any visual issues introduced by OS-level changes. Then we update the code, test across a range of physical and simulated devices, and document every change made.
SDK and library updates
Compatibility work often requires updating third-party libraries alongside the core code. We handle that carefully — not every library update is safe to apply without regression testing, and we check each one before committing it to your codebase.
Delivery and handoff
You receive a pull request with all changes, a written summary of what was updated and why, and a test report covering the devices and OS versions we verified. If your app uses CI/CD, we can integrate the changes into your existing pipeline.

How the process works
Each stage is structured to keep participants informed, supported, and moving forward — without unnecessary complexity.
Initial assessment
Identifying the specific needs, current app version, and what kind of support or update is required.
Structured planning
A clear plan is built around your timeline and technical constraints — no guesswork, no vague commitments.
Active implementation
Updates and support tasks are carried out with regular status reports and direct communication throughout.
Review and handoff
Results are reviewed together, documentation is handed over, and follow-up support is outlined clearly.
Compatibility update stages
- Audit phase: We run your app against the latest OS versions and generate a list of compatibility issues with severity ratings.
- Scoping call: We review the findings with you, confirm priorities, and agree on what is included in this engagement.
- Development: We update deprecated APIs, fix permission handling, resolve UI regressions, and update libraries as needed.
- Testing: We test on a minimum of six device and OS combinations covering common user configurations.
- Delivery: Pull request plus written change log and test report. We stay available for one week after delivery to address any follow-up issues.
Pricing depends on the scope found during the audit. We provide a fixed quote before any development work begins, so there are no surprises.
