Mobile app release
PublicShipping a feature across iOS and Android with design QA in the loop.
How this workflow works
Design
Figma — Platform UI
iOS and Android get their own screens, respecting each platform's own navigation and gesture conventions instead of one shared mockup stretched over both.
ProtoPie — Motion prototype
The transition and gesture feel gets prototyped with real physics before engineering builds it, since motion is nearly impossible to spec in words.
Build
GitHub — Feature branch
Design and prototype references get linked directly in the PR description, so a reviewer can check the build against the intended motion, not just the static screens.
QA
Storybook — Device QA
The build gets checked across a real device matrix — different screen sizes, OS versions, low-end hardware — not just the one phone on the desk.
Release
Linear — Staged rollout
The release ships to a small percentage of the app store audience first, with crash rate as the gate before it opens up to everyone.
Monitor
Amplitude — Crash & usage watch
Crash-free rate and feature usage get watched closely for the first 48 hours after each rollout stage, before the next percentage opens up.
