🛠️ Mobile App Maintenance That Keeps Your App Moving Forward
Mobile app maintenance is an important part of keeping a published application functional as technology, devices, operating systems, marketplace requirements, and your business continue to change.
Launching your app is the beginning—not the end—of its technical life.
Apple updates iOS.
Google updates Android.
New phones and tablets are released.
APIs change.
Software dependencies change.
Security requirements evolve.
Apple App Store policies change.
Google Play requirements change.
And your business may need reasonable adjustments as your customers begin using the application.
Mobile App Maintenance & Updates from Avoyelles Phone Shop gives apps we’ve developed an ongoing technical maintenance path after launch.
Instead of waiting until your application becomes incompatible or a marketplace requires an urgent update, keep Avoyelles Phone Shop available to maintain, update, troubleshoot, and release supported changes to your application.
🍎 iOS. 🤖 Android. 🔄 Updates. 🏪 Store Management. 🛠️ Ongoing Support.
📱 Your App Doesn’t Stop Changing After Launch
Even if you never request another feature, the technology surrounding your application continues to evolve.
Over time, changes can occur to:
🍎 iOS
🤖 Android
📱 Phones and tablets
🧩 Flutter/FlutterFlow and other development frameworks
📚 Software libraries and dependencies
🔌 Third-party APIs
🔐 Security requirements
🏪 Apple App Store policies
📋 Google Play policies
🎯 Android target API requirements
🔒 Privacy requirements
📦 Build and signing requirements
☁️ Backend services
An application that works properly today may require technical changes in the future simply to remain compatible with the platforms on which it operates.
That’s why ongoing mobile app maintenance matters.
🍎 iOS Compatibility Updates
Apple regularly releases new versions of iOS and updates its development and App Store requirements.
With active Mobile App Maintenance, Avoyelles Phone Shop can perform reasonable technical updates needed to keep your supported application working with current Apple requirements.
This can include work involving:
🍎 iOS compatibility
📱 New device behavior
📦 Application builds
🔐 Signing/configuration
🧩 Framework compatibility
🔒 Privacy-related technical requirements
🏪 App Store requirements
🐛 Issues introduced by platform changes
When an updated release is necessary, we can prepare and submit the supported update through our Apple development workflow.
🤖 Android Compatibility Updates
Google also continually changes Android and Google Play requirements.
Maintenance can cover reasonable work required to address areas such as:
🤖 Android compatibility
🎯 Target API requirements
📱 New Android devices
📦 Build requirements
🔐 Signing/configuration
🧩 Framework and dependency compatibility
🔒 Data-safety or technical requirements
🏪 Google Play policies
🐛 Platform-related issues
When a new Android build is required, Avoyelles Phone Shop can prepare and submit the supported update through Google Play.
🏪 Apple App Store & Google Play Requirements
One of the biggest reasons to maintain a mobile application is that Apple and Google control the marketplaces where public apps are distributed.
Marketplace requirements do not remain frozen at the requirements that existed when your app first launched.
Apple or Google may introduce new requirements involving:
🔐 Privacy
📱 Operating-system support
🎯 API levels
🗑️ Account deletion
📋 Data disclosures
🧩 SDKs
🔒 Permissions
📦 Build formats
⚙️ Technical configuration
📝 Store information
With active maintenance, Avoyelles Phone Shop can handle reasonable technical updates required to keep the application aligned with applicable marketplace requirements.
📦 New Production Builds
Some changes require more than adjusting a setting.
A completely new application build may need to be generated, tested, signed, and submitted.
When reasonably required as part of covered maintenance, we can handle:
⚙️ Code/configuration changes
🧪 Testing
📦 Production build generation
🔐 Signing
🍎 iOS release preparation
🤖 Android release preparation
📤 Store submission
🔄 Supported review/resubmission
You don’t have to learn Apple’s or Google’s release systems just because your application needs an update.
🐛 Ongoing Bug Fixes
Your original Custom Mobile App Development service includes 60 days of post-launch bug fixes for defects involving the functionality delivered under the approved project scope.
After that initial period, active Mobile App Maintenance provides an ongoing path for supported bug fixes.
Covered maintenance can address reasonable issues such as:
⚠️ Features no longer behaving as intended
📱 Device-specific problems
🧭 Navigation issues
🔐 Authentication problems
🗃️ Data-handling problems
🔔 Notification issues
🔌 Integration problems
🎨 Interface problems
🐛 Other reproducible application defects
Not every issue is necessarily caused by the application itself. Third-party outages, discontinued APIs, account problems, provider changes, or infrastructure failures may require separate action or costs.
🔄 Framework & Dependency Maintenance
Modern mobile applications depend on more than the code visible on the screen.
Applications can rely on:
🧩 Frameworks
📚 Libraries
🔌 Packages
☁️ Cloud services
🔐 Authentication components
📱 Platform SDKs
⚙️ Build tools
Those components change over time.
Maintenance allows Avoyelles Phone Shop to perform reasonable updates when dependencies need attention for compatibility, security, or marketplace requirements.
🛡️ Security-Related Maintenance
Mobile software should not be abandoned after publication.
When applicable to the supported application, maintenance can include reasonable technical work related to:
🔐 Authentication components
🧩 Dependency updates
🔌 API compatibility
📦 Application updates
📱 Platform-security requirements
⚙️ Configuration changes
Security is a shared responsibility involving the application, backend, third-party services, customer accounts, user practices, and hosting environment.
No maintenance service can guarantee that software will never experience a security issue.
📝 Reasonable Content Changes
Your business may change even when the app’s core functionality doesn’t.
With active maintenance, Avoyelles Phone Shop can make reasonable changes to customer-provided application content.
Examples can include:
📞 Phone numbers
📧 Email addresses
🏢 Business information
🕐 Hours
📝 Existing wording
🔗 Links
📋 Smaller informational sections
The customer provides the updated information.
We handle the supported technical change.
🖼️ Image & Media Updates
Need to replace an image or update visual content?
Reasonable customer-provided image changes can be handled through maintenance.
Examples include:
🖼️ Business images
📸 Photos
🎨 Supplied graphics
📱 Existing app imagery
Professional photography, extensive graphic design, or creation of new branding is separate unless specifically included.
✨ Reasonable New Features Included
Maintenance isn’t limited to fixing broken things.
Active Mobile App Maintenance can also cover reasonable new features and improvements to the existing application.
Examples might include:
➕ Adding a smaller new screen
📝 Adding fields to an existing workflow
🔔 Improving notification behavior
📊 Adding a reasonable new view or report
🔧 Improving an existing feature
🎨 Smaller interface improvements
⚙️ Adding reasonable functionality to an existing workflow
📱 Quality-of-life improvements
This allows your application to continue evolving with your business.
🚧 Maintenance Is Not Unlimited Redevelopment
There is an important difference between maintaining and reasonably improving an existing application and building a major new software platform.
Standard Mobile App Maintenance does not mean unlimited development.
Projects such as:
🎮 Building a complex game
🌎 Adding a large social network
🚗 Creating an Uber-style marketplace
🤖 Building a major custom AI platform
🏗️ Adding a large new backend system
🗃️ Performing a massive data migration
🔌 Building extensive new custom APIs
🎨 Completely redesigning the application
📦 Entering massive catalogs or datasets
⚙️ Adding an entirely new major application subsystem
may require a separate quote.
If a requested change substantially exceeds reasonable maintenance scope, we’ll discuss the additional cost before beginning that work.
🔌 Integration Maintenance
Apps often depend on other systems.
Maintenance can cover reasonable work involving existing supported integrations such as:
🌐 WordPress
🛒 WooCommerce
🔐 Authentication providers
☁️ Firebase
📊 Business systems
📅 Scheduling services
🔌 Third-party APIs
📲 SMS integrations
💳 Supported payment integrations
If an external provider changes its API, authentication method, or technical requirements, we’ll evaluate the work required to keep the integration functioning.
Major replacement or redevelopment of a discontinued third-party service may require additional pricing.
📲 SMS & Third-Party Services
If your application uses an SMS provider or another paid external service, maintenance can cover reasonable technical integration work.
The customer remains responsible for maintaining and paying for applicable:
📲 SMS accounts
☁️ Cloud services
💳 Payment processors
🗺️ Mapping services
📧 Email providers
🔌 API subscriptions
🤖 AI services
📊 Other third-party services
Mobile App Maintenance does not include third-party usage, subscription, transaction, messaging, or service fees.
🏪 Continued App Store Management
When we develop and publish your app, Avoyelles Phone Shop handles the technical Apple App Store and Google Play publishing workflow.
Active maintenance extends that relationship after launch.
When supported updates are required, we can handle:
📦 New release builds
🍎 Apple App Store update submissions
🤖 Google Play update submissions
🔐 Signing/configuration
📝 Version information
🧪 Release preparation
💬 Supported marketplace review responses
🔄 Supported resubmission when necessary
🚀 Approved update releases
📝 App Store Listing Changes
Want to change information displayed on your marketplace listing?
With active maintenance, Avoyelles Phone Shop can make reasonable supported changes at your request.
This can include customer-provided:
📝 Descriptions
📧 Contact information
🌐 Website links
🖼️ Images
📱 Applicable screenshots
📋 Other supported listing information
You provide the new content.
We handle the technical marketplace update.
Professional marketing copywriting, photography, branding, or major graphic-design work is separate unless specifically included.
📊 Store & Application Information
Where available through the applicable development/store environment, Avoyelles Phone Shop can use technical information to assist with maintaining the application.
This can help identify:
🐛 Application problems
⚠️ Crashes or technical issues
📱 Compatibility concerns
🏪 Marketplace requirements
📦 Version/release status
This service should not be interpreted as a guaranteed comprehensive business-analytics or marketing-reporting service unless separately included.
🧪 Testing Updates Before Release
When an application update requires a new build, appropriate testing is performed before public release.
Depending on the change, this may include:
⚙️ Functional testing
📱 Device/platform testing
🔐 Authentication testing
🔌 Integration testing
🧭 Navigation testing
📝 Content review
🔔 Notification testing
🐛 Regression checks
The testing performed depends on the nature of the update.
👤 Customer Review When Appropriate
For meaningful changes or feature additions, we can provide an opportunity for the customer to review the applicable update before public release.
This helps ensure the requested change works the way you expected before it reaches users.
Minor technical compatibility updates may not always require the same level of customer review.
🏢 Apps Published Under Avoyelles Phone Shop
Applications developed under our standard Custom Mobile App Development service are published through Avoyelles Phone Shop’s applicable developer accounts.
Active maintenance allows us to continue managing supported technical releases and marketplace updates through those publishing environments.
The underlying source code, development projects, repositories, and developer-account access remain under Avoyelles Phone Shop’s control according to the development-service terms.
💻 Source Code Is Not Transferred Through Maintenance
Purchasing Mobile App Maintenance does not transfer ownership or access to:
❌ Source code
❌ Flutter project files
❌ FlutterFlow projects
❌ GitHub repositories
❌ Internal development tooling
❌ Apple developer credentials
❌ Google developer credentials
❌ Internal deployment systems
The service provides ongoing maintenance of the finished application—not transfer of the underlying development environment.
📅 Monthly Maintenance
Choose monthly billing when you prefer a smaller recurring payment.
Your active monthly maintenance service provides the same applicable maintenance coverage described on this page while the subscription remains active and paid.
📅 Pay month-to-month.
💰 Yearly Maintenance — Get 2 Months Free
Know you’re going to keep your app maintained?
Choose yearly billing and save.
💵 Pay for 10 months and receive 12 months of Mobile App Maintenance.
That means you receive the same applicable maintenance coverage for a full year while paying the equivalent of only 10 monthly payments.
🎉 Two months free compared with paying monthly for the same 12-month period.
The actual savings displayed by WooCommerce will depend on the current monthly service price.
🔄 Ongoing Service
Mobile App Maintenance is an ongoing subscription service.
Coverage continues while the applicable maintenance subscription remains active and paid.
If you cancel the service, maintenance coverage ends according to the applicable billing/service terms.
You can contact Avoyelles Phone Shop if you later need additional development or want to restart maintenance.
⚠️ What Happens If Maintenance Ends?
You are not required to maintain an active Mobile App Maintenance subscription forever.
However, ending maintenance means Avoyelles Phone Shop is no longer providing ongoing compatibility, update, troubleshooting, or marketplace-maintenance coverage under this service.
The application may continue functioning normally for some time.
But we cannot guarantee how long an unmaintained application will remain compatible with future:
🍎 iOS versions
🤖 Android versions
📱 Devices
🔌 APIs
🧩 Dependencies
🔐 Security requirements
🏪 Apple App Store policies
📋 Google Play requirements
⚠️ App Store Availability Cannot Be Guaranteed Without Maintenance
This is especially important.
Apple and Google periodically require existing applications to meet newer technical and policy standards.
If an application is not maintained, a future requirement could eventually affect its:
📥 Availability for new downloads
🔄 Ability to receive updates
📱 Compatibility
🏪 Marketplace listing
⚠️ Compliance status
Apple or Google may ultimately restrict, delist, or remove an application according to their own policies.
Avoyelles Phone Shop cannot guarantee indefinite App Store or Google Play availability for an application that is no longer being maintained.
If maintenance has ended and significant work is later required to restore compatibility or marketplace compliance, that work may require a separate development charge before maintenance can resume.
🛑 Missed Payments & Service Suspension
If the maintenance subscription becomes unpaid, the maintenance service itself may be suspended according to Avoyelles Phone Shop’s billing terms.
That means we may stop providing:
🐛 Ongoing bug fixes
🔄 Compatibility updates
📝 Requested changes
✨ Feature improvements
📦 New builds
🍎 App Store update submissions
🤖 Google Play update submissions
🏪 Store-listing maintenance
until service is restored.
An unpaid maintenance invoice does not mean we automatically remove your app from the App Store or Google Play.
However, without active maintenance, we cannot guarantee continued compatibility or future marketplace availability.
🔄 Restarting Maintenance
If maintenance has been canceled or inactive for an extended period, the application may need to be evaluated before service resumes.
If significant updates are required because the app has fallen behind current:
🍎 Apple requirements
🤖 Android requirements
🧩 Framework versions
🔐 Security requirements
🔌 APIs
🏪 Marketplace policies
a catch-up development charge may apply before normal maintenance coverage can resume.
We’ll discuss any required catch-up work before proceeding.
📦 What’s Included?
While your Mobile App Maintenance subscription is active, reasonable covered maintenance can include:
🍎 iOS compatibility updates
🤖 Android compatibility updates
🏪 Apple App Store requirement updates
📋 Google Play requirement updates
🐛 Ongoing bug fixes
🔄 Framework & dependency maintenance
🛡️ Reasonable security-related technical updates
📝 Reasonable customer-provided content changes
🖼️ Reasonable customer-provided image changes
✨ Reasonable new features & improvements
🔧 Existing workflow improvements
🔌 Reasonable existing integration maintenance
📦 New production builds when required
🔐 Release signing & configuration
🍎 Apple App Store update submissions
🤖 Google Play update submissions
📝 Reasonable store-listing changes using customer-provided content
🧪 Appropriate testing of supported updates
💬 Supported marketplace review responses
👨💻 Technical troubleshooting
Maintenance keeps your existing application supported and allows it to continue evolving within a reasonable ongoing scope.
🚫 What’s Not Automatically Included?
Mobile App Maintenance does not automatically include:
❌ Unlimited custom software development
❌ Unlimited new features
❌ Complete app redesigns
❌ Major new application subsystems
❌ Complex games
❌ Large social-network platforms
❌ Uber-style marketplace/logistics systems
❌ Major custom AI or machine-learning development
❌ Massive data migrations
❌ Extensive new custom API development
❌ Large backend/infrastructure rebuilds
❌ Extremely large content or product-entry projects
❌ Specialized hardware integrations
❌ Professional Branding & Design Package
❌ Professional photography or videography
❌ Large-scale original copywriting
❌ Customer Privacy Policy creation
❌ Customer Terms of Service creation
❌ Paid marketing or advertising
❌ Third-party subscription fees
❌ SMS/message-provider fees
❌ Payment-processing fees
❌ Cloud/server charges outside the applicable service
❌ Paid API usage
❌ Source-code transfer
❌ Flutter or FlutterFlow project access
❌ GitHub/repository access
❌ Apple developer-account credentials
❌ Google Play developer-account credentials
❌ Guaranteed Apple App Store approval
❌ Guaranteed Google Play approval
❌ Guaranteed downloads, users, sales, or revenue
❌ Guaranteed uninterrupted operation of third-party services
❌ Guaranteed indefinite marketplace availability after maintenance ends
If a requested change significantly exceeds reasonable ongoing maintenance, Avoyelles Phone Shop will discuss the additional scope and pricing before beginning that additional work.
📋 Customer Responsibilities
Mobile App Maintenance works best when both sides have the information and access needed to keep the application functioning.
The customer remains responsible for applicable:
📝 Updated business content
🖼️ Replacement images and media
🔒 Privacy Policy
📜 Terms of Service
📧 Business contact information
🔌 Third-party account credentials when required
💳 Third-party service fees
📲 SMS-provider accounts and charges
☁️ External cloud/service accounts
💳 Payment-provider accounts
📋 Compliance with applicable business/legal requirements
The customer is also responsible for notifying Avoyelles Phone Shop when business information, legal policies, third-party accounts, services, or workflows change in a way that may affect the application.
🔐 Third-Party Accounts Must Stay Active
If your application depends on a third-party service, that service generally must remain active for the related feature to continue working.
Examples include:
📲 SMS providers
☁️ Cloud services
🗺️ Mapping providers
💳 Payment processors
📧 Email services
🔐 Authentication services
🤖 AI platforms
🔌 External APIs
📊 Analytics platforms
If a third-party account is canceled, suspended, improperly configured, or unpaid, the associated app functionality may stop working.
Mobile App Maintenance does not include paying those provider fees on your behalf unless specifically stated in another service agreement.
🔄 Third-Party Changes
Sometimes an external service changes something that affects the app.
For example, a provider may:
🔌 Change its API
🔑 Change authentication requirements
📦 Deprecate a software library
💳 Change payment requirements
🛑 Discontinue a feature
📋 Change its policies
☁️ Retire a service
Reasonable adaptation of an existing integration may fit within maintenance.
If the provider’s change requires a major replacement system, substantial custom redevelopment, or migration to an entirely different service, additional pricing may apply.
🧪 Maintenance Requests & Testing
When you request a supported update or change, Avoyelles Phone Shop will evaluate the work and determine the appropriate implementation.
Depending on the nature of the update, work may involve:
📋 Reviewing the request
⚙️ Making technical changes
🧪 Testing
📱 Reviewing iOS behavior
🤖 Reviewing Android behavior
🔌 Checking affected integrations
📦 Preparing a new build
🍎 Submitting an iOS update
🤖 Submitting an Android update
Not every request requires a new marketplace release.
Some changes may be handled through backend, remote, or configuration updates depending on how the application was built.
💬 Requesting Changes
Customers with active maintenance can contact Avoyelles Phone Shop when they need reasonable app changes or technical assistance.
When submitting a request, providing clear information helps us work more efficiently.
Useful information can include:
📱 Which part of the app needs attention
📝 What you want changed
🖼️ Replacement images
📸 Screenshots of an issue
⚠️ Error messages
📋 Steps that reproduce a problem
📧 Updated contact information
🔗 Updated links
✨ Description of the requested improvement
Large or unusual requests will be reviewed before development begins.
⏱️ Turnaround Times
Mobile App Maintenance does not promise one universal completion time for every request.
A text change and a new application build are very different tasks.
Timing can depend on:
⚙️ Technical complexity
🍎 Apple requirements
🤖 Google requirements
🔌 Third-party services
🧪 Testing needs
📦 Whether a new build is required
💬 Customer feedback
🏪 Marketplace review times
Avoyelles Phone Shop will work to address supported maintenance requests within a reasonable timeframe based on their complexity and urgency.
Apple App Store and Google Play review times are outside our direct control.
🚨 Urgent Issues
If a significant application issue appears, contact Avoyelles Phone Shop with as much information as possible.
Examples can include:
🚫 Users unable to sign in
💥 Repeated crashes
🔌 Critical integrations failing
📱 Major platform incompatibility
🏪 Marketplace warnings
🔐 Security-related concerns
📦 Required marketplace updates
We’ll evaluate the issue and determine the appropriate response under the active maintenance service.
Third-party provider outages or issues outside Avoyelles Phone Shop’s control may require coordination with the applicable provider.
📊 Maintenance Is Technical Support — Not Marketing Management
Mobile App Maintenance focuses on keeping the application technically supported and making reasonable ongoing improvements.
It is not automatically a marketing-management service.
The service does not inherently include:
📢 Advertising campaigns
📱 Social-media management
📈 App-download campaigns
⭐ Review solicitation
📝 Ongoing marketing copy creation
🎨 Continuous graphic-design production
🔎 App Store Optimization campaigns
📊 Business consulting
🎯 Conversion optimization
Those services may be available separately where applicable.
📈 Analytics & Performance Information
Where supported by the application or marketplace, technical analytics may be available to help evaluate app performance.
This can include information such as:
📱 Usage trends
💥 Crash information
📦 Version adoption
⚠️ Technical issues
🏪 Marketplace performance information
📊 Other available platform data
Mobile App Maintenance does not automatically include a recurring comprehensive marketing or business-performance report unless specifically included in the service.
🔄 Updates Requested by Apple or Google
One of the major benefits of active maintenance is having someone available when a marketplace says:
“This application needs to be updated.”
If Apple or Google introduces a normal technical requirement affecting your existing supported application, maintenance can cover reasonable work such as:
🎯 Updating Android target requirements
📦 Updating build configuration
🧩 Updating dependencies
🔐 Addressing supported permission requirements
📋 Updating technical declarations
🗑️ Adjusting required account-deletion functionality
🔒 Updating applicable privacy configuration
🍎 Preparing a new iOS build
🤖 Preparing a new Android build
📤 Resubmitting the application
Major redesigns or extraordinary redevelopment are still outside normal maintenance scope.
📱 New Devices & Screen Changes
New mobile devices, screen sizes, and operating-system behaviors appear regularly.
Maintenance can include reasonable adjustments necessary to keep the existing app interface usable on supported current devices.
This may involve:
📱 Layout fixes
📐 Responsive adjustments
🔘 Button or navigation corrections
🖼️ Image display adjustments
⌨️ Keyboard/input fixes
🎨 Minor presentation corrections
A complete visual redesign is separate from routine compatibility maintenance.
🔐 Authentication Maintenance
If the application uses authentication services, those systems may also evolve.
Maintenance can include reasonable work involving existing:
🔐 Login workflows
🔑 Password/account recovery
👤 User accounts
🍎 Apple authentication
🤖 Google authentication
🔥 Firebase authentication
🌐 WordPress authentication
🔌 Other supported account integrations
If an authentication provider substantially changes or discontinues its service, additional work may be required depending on the scope.
🔔 Notification Maintenance
For applications using notifications, maintenance can address supported existing:
🔔 Push notifications
📧 Firebase-related email workflows
📲 SMS integrations
This can include troubleshooting or adapting those workflows when technical requirements change.
SMS-provider usage costs remain the customer’s responsibility.
🌐 Backend & API Maintenance
If your application uses a backend or API developed or managed as part of the project, maintenance can include reasonable technical updates to existing application/backend workflows.
Examples can include:
🗃️ Existing database-related fixes
🔌 API compatibility updates
⚙️ Configuration changes
🔐 Authentication changes
📋 Small workflow modifications
🐛 Troubleshooting existing backend functionality
Major new databases, major backend redesigns, or extensive new API systems may require an additional quote.
🧹 Keeping the Existing App Healthy
Maintenance is designed primarily around the existing application and its reasonable evolution.
Think of it as:
✅ Keep the app compatible
✅ Fix covered problems
✅ Keep marketplace releases current
✅ Make reasonable changes
✅ Add smaller useful improvements
✅ Keep existing integrations working
✅ Handle supported store updates
Not:
❌ Rebuild the entire app every month
❌ Add unlimited major systems
❌ Create a completely different product under the same subscription
This keeps the maintenance service useful for the customer and sustainable for ongoing development.
💰 Why Yearly Maintenance Is the Best Value
If you expect to keep your application available throughout the year, annual maintenance provides the same applicable service while reducing the effective cost.
Monthly
Pay the regular monthly rate for each active month.
Yearly
Pay the equivalent of 10 monthly payments and receive 12 months of active maintenance.
🎉 That’s 2 months free.
You receive the same maintenance scope—just at a better annual value.
📦 What’s Included With Monthly vs. Yearly?
The service scope is the same.
The difference is only how you pay.
📅 Monthly
✅ Same maintenance coverage
✅ Monthly recurring billing
✅ Greater payment flexibility
💰 Yearly
✅ Same maintenance coverage
✅ One annual payment
✅ 12 months of service
✅ Pay for 10 months
✅ 2 months free
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Why does my mobile app need maintenance?
Because iOS, Android, Apple App Store requirements, Google Play requirements, APIs, libraries, devices, and third-party services continue to change after the application launches.
Maintenance provides an ongoing technical path for keeping your supported app current.
❓ Is maintenance required?
No. You may discontinue maintenance.
However, Avoyelles Phone Shop cannot guarantee future compatibility or marketplace availability for an unmaintained application.
❓ Will my app disappear immediately if I cancel?
No. Canceling maintenance does not automatically mean we remove the application from Apple or Google.
The app may continue working normally.
The concern is that future platform or marketplace changes may eventually require updates.
❓ Can Apple or Google remove the app later?
Apple and Google control their marketplaces.
If an app eventually fails to meet future technical or policy requirements, its availability may be affected according to their rules.
❓ What happens if I miss a maintenance payment?
The maintenance service may be suspended under the applicable billing terms.
That means Avoyelles Phone Shop may stop performing ongoing updates, changes, bug fixes, new builds, and marketplace maintenance until the service is restored.
❓ Do you automatically remove my app if I don’t pay?
No. An unpaid maintenance subscription does not automatically mean Avoyelles Phone Shop removes the app from Apple or Google.
❓ What if I cancel and come back later?
You can contact us about restarting maintenance.
If the application has fallen significantly behind current platform or marketplace requirements, catch-up development may be required before normal maintenance resumes.
❓ Are bug fixes included?
Yes. Active maintenance covers reasonable ongoing bug fixes for the supported existing application.
Remember that the original development purchase already includes 60 days of post-launch bug fixes before ongoing maintenance becomes the primary support path.
❓ Are iOS updates included?
Reasonable iOS compatibility and Apple-required technical updates are included within the maintenance scope.
❓ Are Android updates included?
Reasonable Android compatibility, target API, and Google Play technical updates are included within the maintenance scope.
❓ Will you submit updated versions to the stores?
Yes. When a covered change requires a new release, Avoyelles Phone Shop can prepare and submit the supported update to Apple App Store and Google Play.
❓ Are App Store submission fees included?
Your application is handled through Avoyelles Phone Shop’s applicable developer workflow. There is no separate Apple or Google developer-account fee charged to you for normal update submissions under active maintenance.
❓ Can I change text in my app?
Yes. Reasonable customer-provided text/content changes can be covered by maintenance.
❓ Can I replace images?
Yes. Reasonable updates using customer-provided images can be covered.
❓ Do you create the new images for me?
Not automatically. The customer provides the replacement content and images unless separate professional design services are purchased.
❓ Can I add new features?
Yes. Reasonable new features and improvements can be included within maintenance.
Major new systems, unusually complex features, or substantial expansions may require additional pricing.
❓ What counts as a reasonable new feature?
Examples might include a smaller new screen, additional fields, a new simple report, reasonable changes to an existing workflow, or another moderate enhancement to the existing app.
❓ Can I completely redesign my app under maintenance?
A complete redesign is not automatically included as routine maintenance and may require a separate quote or design service.
❓ Are third-party fees included?
No. Customers remain responsible for applicable SMS, payment-processing, API, cloud, hosting, and other third-party charges.
❓ Can you maintain my SMS integration?
Yes. Reasonable maintenance of an existing supported SMS integration can be covered, but you remain responsible for the SMS-provider account and usage fees.
❓ Is backend hosting included?
Not automatically unless it is included through another applicable service or agreement.
App/backend hosting requirements are determined separately according to the application’s architecture.
❓ Can you update the App Store description?
Yes. With active maintenance, we can make reasonable store-listing changes using the updated content you provide.
❓ Do you write new App Store marketing copy?
Not automatically. You provide the business-specific content; we handle the technical marketplace update.
❓ Do I get source code with maintenance?
No. Maintenance does not transfer source-code ownership or development-project access.
❓ Do I get GitHub access?
No. Development repositories remain private and managed by Avoyelles Phone Shop.
❓ What is the yearly discount?
Yearly maintenance provides 12 months of service for the price of 10 monthly payments.
That’s effectively 2 months free compared with paying monthly for the same 12-month period.
❓ Is yearly maintenance different from monthly?
No. The maintenance scope is the same. The annual option simply provides a better billing value.
❓ Can I switch billing cycles?
Contact Avoyelles Phone Shop about changing your billing cycle. Any change is subject to the current subscription and billing terms.
