Android App

[05.08.2023]

This feature would be very cool, but also very large. At this point, it would probably take another 1-2 years after the feature development has been started. So this is just a placeholder for now.

However, I would love to hear your ideas! :)

[19.12.2025]

Since a complete rewrite of the app would be extremely time-consuming, the best option seems to be using Skip instead of building everything from scratch using Flutter, React (Native) or Kotlin. That doesn't mean there will never be a web version, but the focus is on Android first and then, possibly later, on a web app that is truly optimized for the web.

Additionally, modernizing the app with Skip / SwiftUI would benefit existing users as well by delivering new features more quickly in the future and improving app stability overall.

[Milestone 1] [100% Completed]

[Create Skip Project + Implement Core Architecture] ✅

  • The first milestone is to create the new Skip project in order to get to know Skip and to start implementing the core architekture (incl. data model / logic).

    • Initially, the plan was to split the code into separate Swift packages to migrate the model and logic code first in order to be able to reuse it in the existing UIKit app.

    • Although this approach technically worked, it resulted in code that was difficult to maintain and performed very poorly on Android when using lots of data.

    • Therefore, the decision was made to rethink the architecture and switch to a repository-based approach. Although this involves significant additional refactoring effort, it ultimately results in a much more decoupled architecture and thus a more maintainable foundation for the future.

  • Status:

    • The Skip project incl. the core (repository) architecture has been implemented.

[Milestone 2] [75% Completed]

[Migrate Core Features to Skip Project incl. Tests] ⏳

  • The second milestone is then to incrementally migrate all core features to Skip such as item management and transaction handling.

  • This milestone is by far the biggest one since it involves a lot of effort (switching from UIKit to SwiftUI + making it compatible with Android / Skip + incorporating it into the new repository architecture).

  • Status:

    • The detailled status of the migration can be seen in the checklist above this feature.

[Milestone 3] [0% Completed]

[Take over Apple-Specific Features to the Skip Project]

  • The third milestone is to take over all of the other Apple-specific features to the new Skip project such as Widgets, Shortcuts and Apple Watch support.

  • This ensures that all existing features will still be available in the new Skip app for all existing Apple users.

  • Status:

    • Take over TipKit Alerts

    • Take over Widgets

    • Take over Shortcuts

    • Take over Apple Watch App

[Milestone 4] [0% Completed]

[Setup Build / Deployment Pipeline + Release Beta Version]

  • The fourth milestone is to setup the build / deployment pipeline to be able to build / release Apple and Android Builds using Fastlane.

  • Since the Skip Showcase app also uses Fastlane (like the existing Budget Flow UIKit app) the migration of the existing build scripts should be straight forward.

  • After the build / deployment pipelines are working, we can release the first beta version of the new Skip app using Testflight for iOS/iPadOS/macOS and Google Play for Android.

[Milestone 5] [0% Completed]

[Stabilize App + Incorporate Beta Feedback]

  • The fifth milestone is to stabilize the new Skip app based on beta tester feedback and to fix any remaining issues before the final release.

  • Although all major features should already be implemented at this point (incl. tests), real-world testing will likely reveal additional bugs, performance issues and UX improvements that are difficult to identify during development.

  • This milestone is therefore focused on improving overall quality and ensuring that the new Skip app is ready to release on the App Store and Play Store.

[Milestone 6] [0% Completed]

[Update Metadata + Release App on the App Store / Play Store]

  • The final milestone is to update the (store) metadata (descriptions, screenshots, etc.) and to release the new Skip app to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
