The work included working with WebSockets, using 3rd-party library to view RTMP streams, adding a functionality that required an integration with new server APIs, and changing the app's UI to implement Material Design.
My client and end-users were satisfied with the app and the app's rating has increased since I worked on the project.
Aggreg8
I implemented the app applying Material Design guidelines and the latest API guides suggestions. I integrated Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram APIs in a way that allowed me to manage them uniformly. The project required managing background tasks and using a SQLite database.
It was a really nice experience.
