🚀It’s an honor for us to announce that MagnetApps is the partner carrying out the migration of Autochek’s native applications to the Flutter platform!
MagnetApps’ experience in migrations and development of Native and Flutter applications is key in this process.
Our focus is on carrying out the transition smoothly, preserving not only the core functionality of the applications but also, thanks to our extensive experience in native applications, following a migration process that conserves how native applications have been made. This way, we achieve the following objectives:
- Quick integration of team members. We are aware that the previous team must continue working on the application. Therefore, our focus is also on facilitating their rapid adaptation and training.
- Review of deprecated flows and their elimination. Simplifying the App’s code.
- Notable improvements in terms of efficiency and aesthetics.
One of the most outstanding advantages that the migration to Flutter brings is consistency in the user experience across various platforms. This translates into a uniform and attractive interface, regardless of the device the user is using, while still preserving particularities between Android and iOS. Moreover, Flutter’s development environment accelerates the process of creating and launching new features, allowing Autochek to be more agile in responding to market demands. 📱💡
The Strategy
The strategy followed for this migration was based on prior analysis and assessment.
- Assessment of libraries and dependencies
- The first step was to validate the current third-party dependencies in the native platforms: The native applications made use of third-party libraries, sometimes providing unique services. It was analyzed whether these libraries already had a Flutter version, otherwise, the creation of a plugin for their proper use would be considered. Finally, all third-party libraries already had Flutter support.
- Studying the existing code.
- At Magnet Apps, we were aware that the existing team would participate and actively continue the evolution of the Apps. Therefore, one of the goals when carrying out the development was to mimic in many aspects the code done in the native Apps. Preserving certain structures and architectures would help the team adapt more quickly and start being productive very quickly.
- Execution
- The most important part of development. Where are we going to find the real problems.
- Create an application base that is extensible, testable, and that several people can perform tasks at the same time.
- Training. During the development of the project, emphasis has been placed on training staff, to become familiar with the project itself. As well as in the formation of Flutter.
Looking to the future, this migration not only addresses the current needs but also prepares Autochek for upcoming innovations and to tackle them smoothly and efficiently. 🌐🔮
The collaboration between MagnetApps and Autochek is a testament to how technology can drive business evolution. We are excited to be part of this journey towards a brighter and more efficient digital future, where Autochek’s Flutter applications will be at the forefront of user experience and technological innovation. 👏🌟
