Establishing a Shared Foundation Across Two Platforms
Built the foundational structure to run the same screen flows and playback behavior on Android as on the existing runtime.
A product that runs on only one platform is, by definition, incomplete. Regardless of the quality of individual screens, consistent product experience requires that the same flows reproduce reliably across runtimes. This work focused on establishing that foundation for Android.
The entry flow (splash to onboarding), tab-based navigation, and repeating screen units were defined first. On the playback side, audio session initialization, track loading, the mini player, reels playback, and lock screen and Now Playing remote controls were aligned to maintain a consistent state throughout. Audio processing layers — effects and reverb — were integrated into the same structure to eliminate discrepancies between playback state and screen state.
The objective at this stage was not to expand features but to ensure both runtimes operate against the same baseline. Changes refined on one platform can then propagate consistently to both.
