HomeServicesApp Takeover

App developer gone?
We take the app over.

The person who built your app has moved on, and now it crashes, falls behind Google and Apple's yearly requirements, or can't be updated. We move the code, keys and store accounts into your name, get it building again, and keep it live every month.

Where you stand

Recoverable. Expect a few days of chasing access before any code changes.

What we do about the gaps
  • Upload key: with Play App Signing on, Google can reset a lost key. With it off and the key gone, updates need a new listing.
  • Services: most let the business owner reclaim the account. We list them and work through them.

Why apps go stale

The app still works.
Until it doesn't.

Nobody owns the releases any more, and the stores keep moving without you.

The keys left with the developer

Code, signing keys and store logins sit in someone else's accounts. You can't ship a fix without them.

Requirements pile up

Google and Apple raise their rules every year. Miss them and the app is hidden from new users or blocked from updates.

Crashes nobody reads

The first sign is a one-star review. By then customers have already given up on it.

Fixed prices

Audit first,
then a monthly plan.

The audit tells you what you're dealing with. The plan keeps the app live and current after that.

Flutter and native apps are our daily work; React Native and other stacks we look at in the audit before quoting a plan. There's no overnight on-call, and outages on hosting we don't run are outside the plan.

How it works

Five days to
a clear picture.

The audit comes before any promises. By the end of it you own everything you can own, the app builds from source, and you have a fixed quote for whatever it needs.

  • Access in your nameRepo, signing keys, Play Console, App Store Connect, Firebase and hosting.
  • Built from sourceProof the code you have is the app your customers use.
  • Everything it's missingStore requirements, outdated SDKs and the crashes behind the reviews.
  • A written planA fixed quote for the fixes, then a monthly plan if you want one.
Why us

Keeping apps live
is our routine.

Every year Google and Apple change the rules for every app on their stores. We ship those updates across our own catalogue of 130+ Android apps.

Your app joins that routine instead of waiting for the next emergency.

Questions

Before you
hand it over.

Often most of it. Store listings move to you through Google's and Apple's app transfer processes, a lost Android upload key can be reset when Play App Signing is on, and hosting and service accounts can be reclaimed by the business owner. Where something can't be recovered, the audit says so and prices the way around it.
Yes, that's the whole service. Flutter and native Android and iOS are our daily work. React Native and other stacks we look at in the audit before quoting a plan.
The yearly Google and Apple requirements, SDK and OS updates, a monthly crash review and a set number of hours for changes. New features are quoted separately, and there's no overnight on-call.
Both stores have an app transfer process. You open your own developer accounts if you don't have them, we prepare the transfer, and the current account holder approves it. Your users keep the app and its reviews.
Every care plan includes them. We track what changes each year and ship the updates before your app is hidden or blocked.
No. Some apps can't be saved as they are, for example when there's no source code and no way to get it. The audit tells you that in the first week, before you commit to a plan.
