Mobile App Maintenance Services
For iOS and Android Apps
You spend your time and resources building the app of your dreams, but what good is an app that crashes, runs slowly, and has features that do not work properly? Without ongoing mobile app support, even a well-built app can quickly become unreliable and cause frustration for users. With operating system releases, APIs, and third party softwares, a lot can go wrong without ongoing app maintenance, testing, and technical support. At MVP, we provide reliable iOS and Android app maintenance, whether they are designed by us, or by other developers. Our mobile app maintenance and support services cover bug fixes, slow performance, code glitches, and more. We support start-ups, growing businesses, and established companies. Although we are based in the Bay Area, we extend our services across North America.

What's Included
Bay Area Mobile App Maintenance
Ongoing Mobile App Maintenance and Support
Designing and launching an app is not a one-time project. Ongoing post-launch mobile app support, updates, and improvements are essential to keep it running smoothly. Both the App Store and the Play Store have strict rules which developers must follow. Not complying with them can result in your app being removed for the app store. Beyond compliance, we also respond to technical issues, cybersecurity threats, and more.
What Our Mobile App Maintenance Services Include
Our website maintenance services cover everything from routine updates and basic support to more advanced work, including API integrations and minor feature enhancements.
Operating System and Device Compatibility Updates
Technology is always changing. With regular iOS and Android software updates and new device releases, apps need to stay compatible. We keep up with IOS and Android updates so you don't have to. We provide mobile app compatibility testing and device compatibility maintenance as a part of both of all of our packages.
App Performance Monitoring and Optimization
No one likes a slow app. Poor performance causes frustration for users, and can lead to higher abandonment and uninstall rates. There are many potential causes for a slow app from network issues to coding errors. Through app performance monitoring, we are able to optimize your app performance.
App Security Maintenance
Security is critical. Users want to know that their data will be safe when using an app. We review outdated libraries, security patches, authentication and permission updates, and third party integrations to keep your users data secure and private. Every mobile app security update is tested before implemented on the live version of your app.
Minor Features and User Experience Improvements
User experience plays a major role in whether people will continue using your app. A clean, responsive, and accessible app will keep your users engaged. We provide interface and workflow adjustments to enhance the user experience. We also include minor feature refinements to keep your app aligned with your user's evolving needs.
Third Party Integration Maintenance
There is more to your app than how it appears on the screen, functionality is just as important. Your app needs a stable backend and APIs in order to function properly and stay connected to the systems and services it depends on. We provide cloud services, payment system integration, CRM integration, authentication systems, notification services, and analytics solutions.
Maintenance for iOS, Android and Cross-Platform Apps
You might be surprised to learn that app maintenance can differ significantly between iOS and Android. Both platforms have their own update cycles, coding requirements, and app store policies. At The MVP, we provide iOS, Android, and cross-platform app maintenance.
iOS App Maintenance
Apple releases one major iOS update each year, followed by several smaller updates. Each release can introduce new features, security changes, compatibility requirements, and performance improvements that apps must be prepared for. Our IOS app maintenance packages are designed to keep your app secure and running smoothly as Apple releases new software and devices. Also, we ensure your app is IOS compatible by testing it on different Apple devices including IPhones and IPads.
Android App Maintenance
Android releases a major operating system update each year, along with frequent security, Google Play, and software updates that can affect app compatibility and performance. Our android app maintenance packages ensure that your app is compatible with Android devices with different screen sizes. We also ensure your app is Google Play compliant to reduce the risk of update rejections, removals, or publishing delays.
Flutter and React Native App Maintenance
We also provide cross platform app maintenance packages for those looking for both IOS and Android support. This includes cross platform testing and framework updates for both Flutter and React Native.
Existing App Support
Mobile App Maintenance for Apps Built by Another Developer
We also provide mobile app maintenance for existing apps, even if they were designed by another developer. We review the existing database to understand your app's current structure and identify any technical issues. We work with you to obtain all of the necessary accesses and from there, we take responsibility for ongoing support and releases.
Our Mobile App Maintenance Process
As a part of our mobile app maintenance process, we do both corrective maintenance to resolve existing issues and preventive maintenance to reduce future problems.
App and Codebase Review
Our first step is getting access to and reviewing your app, the code, hosting, any third party integrations etc.
