Teamkeys Sport Performance Management App Solution

About Our Client Requirements

The Client wants user-friendly apps for iOS and Android platforms that optimize and facilitate user work. Advanced view of teams and players, quick access to information via cloud and multi-device systems. Maximize productivity.

Before starting the app, we discussed which technology we use for app development. After a lengthy discussion with the Client, teammates & management, we finally decided to develop an application in React Native because it’s a fast and popular cross-platform technology, which saves cost and development time. Eventually, we all agreed to start development with react native.

Solutions We Deliver to Client

We used many excellent tools and tricks to make our mobile app work well for users.
First, we used Redux to help us keep track of all the information in our app. It’s like a neat box that holds everything together, ensuring things run smoothly.

We also added Firebase to send messages to users so they always know what’s happening in the app. It works on phones, making sure everyone stays in the loop.

We used a unique system to manage how things look and work in our app to keep things organized. This way, everything runs smoothly and looks great for users.

We even made a screen saver! It kicks in when people use the app for a while and shows fun pictures or animations. It helps keep screens healthy, and users can customize it.

Lastly, we used a tool called Jest to test our app. It checks that everything works as it should, like ensuring buttons and features do their job even when we make changes. This way, our app stays reliable and works great.

Challenges We Faced

The most challenging part of the application is chat module integration, where users can do one-to-one chat, one-to-many chat, create groups, shar e videos & images, etc. First, we decided to implement chat using socket programming, but it’s very complex and time-consuming. The Client wants an application in a short period of time, so socket programming is not a good option for us, so we started thinking of other options like a custom chat module; there are many chat libraries available in React Native, and after long research, finally decided to use QuickBlox library because it provides all the features which Client want.

Another challenging part is background notification issue handling in the QuickBlox library; it doesn’t support notification when the app is in the background or killed. To resolve this issue, we did a lot of R&D on background services, and we finally decided to use the Firebase push notification service to handle this issue. Finally, we were successful.
