Autura has long been a trusted partner in maintaining community safety by connecting law enforcement, towers, and vehicle owners to keep roadways clear. However, their mobile platform had become outdated. To uphold their commitment, they needed more than just a refresh—they required brand-new native apps designed for performance, reliability, and a forward-looking vision.
The challenge extended beyond technical aspects. The apps needed to function reliably in unpredictable real-world conditions—across different devices, unstable networks, and with a constant need for accuracy. GPS, sensors, and connectivity had to perform flawlessly. Anything less risked losing trust at crucial moments.
We assembled two specialized teams, one for each platform, to ensure top performance. On iOS, we used Swift with SwiftUI and UIKit, managing dependencies through CocoaPods, Swift Package Manager, and Carthage. Development and delivery ran through Xcode Cloud Build, with testing on TestFlight, while Core Data, UserDefaults/Keychain, AVFoundation, Core Location, MapKit, Combine, and CoreML powered persistence, media, navigation, and machine learning features.
On Android, the team built with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and SQL, supported by Android Studio. We integrated the Google Maps SDK for location services and deployed through the Google Play Console.
Across both platforms, Firebase Suite delivered real-time monitoring, ensuring issues were caught before reaching users. For CI/CD, we relied on Fastlane, JetBrains TeamCity, and GitHub Actions, supported by GitHub for version control. Project tracking and collaboration were streamlined with JIRA, Swarmia, and the Atlassian Suite, giving both teams the visibility to move fast without sacrificing quality.
Migration was one of our most critical tasks. We knew users couldn’t be left stranded between versions. From the beginning, we planned for a seamless transition, ensuring smooth onboarding, familiar workflows, and preserved trust.
With the launch, the improvements were evident. Features were aligned across platforms, while each leveraged native strengths. The transition was effortless, performance was sharp, and users felt right at home with a product that worked better than before.
This project reinforced the importance of focus and careful planning. Migration is crucial to user trust. Real-time monitoring underpins resilience. When teams collaborate and specialize, the result is not just two apps, but one unified, carefully crafted experience.
Autura’s new apps go beyond towing—they are a renewed commitment to safety, reliability, and the people who depend on them. With a strong mobile foundation, Autura is driving toward the future of roadway solutions.
