The Challenge

A production Android app on a platform-critical deadline

30-Day Window

CYA LIVE had a critical juncture ahead and needed an Android client ready for the Play Store in a single month.

Existing Code Base

Feature parity with web and iOS meant navigating and interpreting CYA’s existing code base and API surface under time pressure.

Live Video Quality

CYA LIVE’s experience depends on reliable live video and moderated chat — anything less would break the watch-together format.

Our Approach

In-person strategy sessions, fast iteration, and shipped software

Strategy

Collaborative in-person sessions with CYA’s development, communications, and executive teams to align on scope and sequence for the 30-day release.

Navigate

Rapid orientation through CYA’s existing code and APIs, identifying the integration points that mattered for an Android client at parity with web and iOS.

Build

Production-grade Android development focused on reliable video streaming, smooth chat, and the moderated experience CYA’s audience expects.

Ship

Delivered and published within thirty days, alongside recommendations that helped CYA prioritise developer work against broader strategic objectives.
