THE SOLUTION
We assembled a team of 6 reliable professionals and, in 2.5 months, built an offline‑first architecture using Flutter for cross‑platform UI and SQLite for local storage, augmented by native Kotlin and Swift modules for efficient background downloads and data sync.
Key features included:
• Offline content caching with resumable downloads for full courses and assets
• Local progress tracking schema for prayers, training completions, and sharing activities
• Conflict‑safe batch sync logic to upload offline data upon reconnection
• Intuitive UI indicators for download status, offline availability, and sync progress
