iOS app audit

About Gitwork

Gitwork is a remote software development team of quality software engineers, developers, product owners & QA's.

The challenge

Gitwork had developed an iOS app for a third-party customer. They were expecting an audience of 50K-100K users on launch-day, so they wanted an objective, expert review to ensure there were no hidden architectural or security issues.

The solution

I performed a full app audit, which included:

• A full code and architecture review.
• A crash audit, to find and diagnose existing crashes in the app.
• A performance analysis, to check for hangs and potential memory issues.
• A stack readiness review, covering the app's wider tech-stack.
• A UI/ UX review.

From this I created a prioritised roadmap for the team to address the issues. I highlighted the potential impact vs. effort to fix for each issue so they could be pragmatic about how and when to apply fixes. I presented this back to the team so they could ask questions and get a clear picture.

The results

• Surfaced several critical issues that would have impacted stability and user confidence.
• The team got a clear roadmap to address the issues safely and pragmatically.
• They got assurance to push towards a beta release.

What the client said

"Gabrielle's audit identified several critical issues (like token storage and offline reliability) and gave us a clear roadmap to address them. Fixing these problems will improve stability and user confidence, and allow us to push toward a beta release with much more assurance."
