Key challenges
The client was already having a web-based application developed using Xamarin technology. So, the client must wanted to develop in the same way with all aspects of the web app available for both the iPhone and the Android version. Their thoughts were to develop a fun game/app where a user can create a model, background and retrieve items, clothing, grocery, products, appliances, and accessories.
They were also having some additional requirements in which the user can create an account, log in / log in to their account, save/upload the conversion, participate in various daily / weekly competitions and view the events participating in everyday competitions/weeklies.
They were equally tight and took into account the 20,000 individual dressing elements in the application without significant loss or quality loss, which was tested by the ValueCoders team because it was very difficult for this mobile platform.
When they hired ValueCoders, we had to address the following tasks:

- Lack of engagement and limited audience size
Our developers at ValueCoders had overcome these challenges with their innovative ideas and technical expertise.
