Challenge

The application combined 3D gaming, music, and social networking, but its development team lacked the native SDK expertise needed to integrate Spotify and other mobile functionality. The existing Unity architecture also required changes to support additional interactive experiences without increasing technical complexity.

Solution

Native SDK Integration

A Toptal Unity developer created custom Objective-C and Kotlin code to support native mobile integrations, addressing technical challenges associated with connecting the Unity application to iOS and Android functionality.

Modular Gaming Architecture

The developer refactored the Unity application to accommodate multiple minigames and introduced an iOS Live Activities feature to support additional user interactions.

Outcome

Expanded Integration Capabilities

The native development work addressed technical barriers to integrating mobile functionality into the Unity application, supporting continued development of its combined gaming and music experience.

Broader Interactive Functionality

The updated architecture supported multiple mini-games, and the addition of iOS Live Activities expanded the application’s interactive capabilities ahead of launch.
