**Project Title:**
Monthly Retainer: Mobile App Maintenance, Bug Fixing & Content/UI Updates (iOS & Android)
**Project Description:**
We are looking for a reliable, experienced Full-Stack Mobile Developer (or small dev/design team) on a long-term monthly retainer to take over ongoing technical maintenance, bug fixing, and content/asset updates for an established consumer mobile application (iOS & Android).
The app is already live and fully functional. There is no major ground-up development required—this is a steady maintenance and support contract covering up to 10–15 hours of blended developer and basic UI support per month.

### **Key Responsibilities:**
1. **Infrastructure & Health Monitoring:**
* Proactive uptime, API, and database monitoring (AWS / Firebase backend).
* Review crash reports and error logs (e.g., Crashlytics / Sentry).
* Ensure database integrity, backups, and SSL/token renewals.
2. **Bug Fixes & Patching:**
* Timely investigation and resolution of reported code defects, glitches, or API integration errors.
* Testing and QA for hotfixes before deployment.
3. **OS Compatibility & Release Management:**
* Routine updates to SDKs and libraries to ensure continuous compliance with mandatory Google Play and Apple App Store target API requirements.
* Compiling, signing, and publishing store releases/builds via Apple App Store Connect and Google Play Console.
4. **In-App Content & Graphic Updates:**
* Applying text/copy updates, static page adjustments, and dynamic banners.
* Updating app store assets/screenshots or minor UI elements when required.
---
### **Requirements:**
* Proven track record maintaining production mobile apps (iOS & Android).
* Strong backend familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS / Firebase / REST APIs).
* Experience with App Store Connect and Google Play Console release workflows.
* Ability to respond to critical crash alerts within agreed business hours.
* Clear, proactive communication and reliable logging of completed tasks/hours.
---
### **Engagement Terms:**
* **Type:** Monthly Retainer (renewable ongoing).
* **Budget:** $100 – $250 USD / month
* **Included Capacity:** Up to 10–12 hours of on-call support/updates per month, (with possible rollovers) with additional hours pre-approved and billed at an agreed hourly rate.
* Long-term partnership for the right candidate.
**To apply:** Please share links to 1–2 mobile apps you currently maintain or have built, briefly describe your experience managing cloud backends/store consoles, and confirm your availability for an ongoing monthly retainer.
