3. Challenges & Solutions
Customizable Camera
The main concern was to present high quality images to the
users. After a carefulconsideration of a number of options,
the development team focused on implementing camera
enhancement features through 3rd party API integration
that resolved the issue.
4. Challenges & Solutions
Image Sizes
While working on LoopTop, the challenge was to save images in
smaller sizes without compromising on the quality. So, to find a
solution to this problem in iOS, we tried using 70–80KB to save the
image on the server.
On the other hand, in the case of Android, we went for 200 KB sized
pictures after compressing pictures that are as large as 9 MB.As long
as quality was concerned, we met the quality standards and also
managed to pull off a reduced loading time for these
pictures.
5. Craft
Design Integration
The designs were created by third party but as there is a typical
architectural difference between Android and iOS.
Our experts recommended various App design strategies to the team
such that the user experience is not comprised.
There were minor difficulties in case of the Fonts that were used on
the app. These were resolved by our design experts in various phases.
6. Integrating Custom Camera
Integrating camera can be done in two ways.
We had built a specialized camera application that was fully integrated in the app. Its main features are as follows:-
One is to use inbuilt camera app, which is rather an easy process.
The second way is to build a custom camera interface and then adding the functionality.
