What is Essential App Updates from OS changes?

Google and Apple release new versions of Android and iOS on a regular basis. It’s not just annual major new versions, but also several smaller updates throughout the year.

These place requirements on apps, both for security and performance reasons, and also to ensure that apps use new features of the OSs.

App stores expect your app to use those new features and adhere to the new security requirements. If it doesn’t, they will make it less visible or even remove it from sale altogether.

How can we help?

We know in advance what the new features and requirements will be, and will have good experience of the complexities of supporting them. This allows us to advise in detail what changes will be required and how long they will take to complete.

Each upgrade will allow us to make use of new features which become available. Making use of these will keep your app looking and feeling modern as well as performing well. All of this has positive effects on reviews and downloads - and therefore sales.

  • Look and feel

    Often there are changes to the way in which the OS presents itself. Following these changes allows the app to appear fresh and modern.

  • Form factor support

    As new devices are introduced - such as foldables, automotive and VR - apps require different tweaks to support them. Often this allows your app to be seen and used by whole new audiences.

  • Battery Life

    Allow us to perform tasks in the background (e.g. syncing data) in a way that is much more battery efficient

Conclusion

Having an app which is regularly updated and adopts new OS features early is helpful for app store optimisation, too, which means Google and Apple are more likely to recommend your modern app over a competitor’s older one.
