Applications for operation system Android are most often distributed through Google Play Store which probably every user of some Android device knows. Even though Play Store is by far the most common app store with the widest range of applications, it is not the only one. Phones and tablets from Samsung include Galaxy Store, Amazon is running its Appstore, for the enthusiasts of open-source technologies, there is F-Droid and there are also other app stores. Lately, more and more applications are being distributed via the Huawei AppGallery which we got acquainted with recently in Ackee. (more…)

How to Save on App Development
Development and maintenance of information systems is a big expense. In Ackee, we focus on the whole process of application creation from its specification through the design and development to the testing. That is why we know that the road from the idea to a finished app in the store can be complicated, long and expensive. So how to make sure that your application does not cost too much? (more…)
Navigation in Multi-Module Project
Over the last few years Android Developers have established best practises for writing apps: clean architecture, usage of MVVM as primary architectural pattern.

Part 1: Creating iOS App With Smart Contract Interaction
Tezos smart contracts have matured a lot – and it’s time to use them in iOS apps, closer to the users’ hands. 😉 Throughout this tutorial we will write a smart contract using SmartPy.io and then move to Xcode and get a hands-on experience with interacting with our contract in Swift using generated code from tezosgen. Note that this tutorial will touch on the most important parts of RateMyTeam app and is not a complete step-by-step tutorial. (more…)

Ackee Agile: Our Approach to App Development
18 years have passed since the publication of the agile development manifesto, which is a really long time in IT. However, we still do not use it as often as we would like. Agile methodologies are not universally applicable to all. For which projects and customers is therefore agile suitable and how can it really look like in the real life of agency development? (more…)
How to choose the right app development agency
There are many agencies out there that offer development for mobile applications, but how do you choose the right one? The development of an app tailored to specific needs is not a commodity with clean parameters that can be acquired as easily as office supplies.
