Project Goal

Create a cross-platform mobile application for 355 Red iOS that provides customers with a convenient way to browse and purchase electronics on their iPhones and iPads. The app was initially developed with .NET MAUI, but migrated to Expo with React Native for enhanced UI flexibility and a more modern user experience. The app connects to the .NET WebAPI middleware to ensure synchronized data with the web store and desktop management application, and integrates WhatsApp API and Meta technologies for enhanced communication features, specifically tailored for the Albanian market.

Client Requirements

The client required a mobile app that mirrors the functionality of the web store, with features like product browsing, search, shopping cart, user authentication, and secure checkout. The project started with .NET MAUI, but the team switched to Expo and React Native for better UI flexibility and modern design capabilities. The app needed to connect to the .NET WebAPI middleware for data synchronization, integrate WhatsApp API and Meta technologies for communication features, be optimized for iOS devices, and provide a smooth user experience for Albanian customers using React Native Paper for UI components.
