Mobile app maintenance services keep a live app working after launch: OS compatibility updates for each new iOS and Android release, bug fixes, security patches, dependency updates and performance optimization. Codazz maintains apps built by our team or inherited from another vendor, with a fixed-scope monthly plan agreed before work starts.

What We Offer

Everything Your App Needs After Launch

Bug Fixes & Stability

We triage crashes and user-reported issues from Crashlytics, Sentry and store reviews, fix the root cause, and ship verified updates through App Store and Play review.

OS Compatibility Updates

Every new iOS and Android release changes APIs, permissions and store requirements. We update your app for each major OS version so it keeps working on the latest devices and passes store review.

Security Patches

We track CVEs in your dependencies and frameworks, patch vulnerabilities, rotate exposed keys, and keep your app aligned with OWASP mobile security guidelines.

Performance Work

We profile startup time, memory and battery usage, tune slow queries and rendering, and right-size infrastructure so your app stays fast as your user base grows.

Maintenance vs. Feature Development

Maintenance keeps what you have working; feature development adds what you do not. We scope and price the two separately so your monthly plan stays predictable and new features never crowd out fixes.

Post-launch & Handoff Teams

Maintenance is for any live app: startups after launch, enterprises with legacy apps, and teams that inherited a codebase from another vendor or a departed internal team. We pick up where the previous team left off.

Onboarding

How Maintenance Onboarding Works

  1. 01

    Codebase & Store Audit

    You give us repository access, App Store Connect and Play Console credentials, and your monitoring tools. We audit the codebase, dependencies, store listings and crash data to map exactly what needs attention.

  2. 02

    Scope & Monthly Plan

    We turn the audit into a written scope: which bugs, which OS versions, which security patches, and how much performance work. You approve a fixed-scope monthly plan before any work starts.

  3. 03

    First Maintenance Sprint

    We clear the highest-impact issues first — crashes, security patches and store-compliance blockers — and ship the first update through App Store and Play review.

  4. 04

    Ongoing Cadence

    From there we run a steady cadence: dependency updates, OS compatibility work, performance reviews and a monthly report on what was fixed and what is coming next.
