Migration of AlertBuddies from .NET MAUI to Native Android & iOS with Enhanced Map & Location Features
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
We are looking for an experienced mobile app developer/team to migrate our existing AlertBuddies application from .NET MAUI to fully native Android and iOS implementations.
The goal is to smoothen app performance, improve responsiveness, and enhance the map and location experience while maintaining all existing functionality.
This project requires expertise in native mobile development, background location services, MQTT integration, and API-driven apps.
About AlertBuddies
AlertBuddies is a mobile platform designed to help users quickly alert and notify others during emergencies or panic situations. It allows users to connect with trusted contacts—called Buddies or Monitoring Me users—who get notified instantly in case of an emergency.
Users can activate alerts through the app, and their designated contacts are immediately notified via SMS, phone call, email, and push notifications. The app also supports live location sharing, trip tracking, and real-time monitoring, helping ensure timely assistance and safety for users.

Scope of Work
Migrate the current .NET MAUI app to native Android and iOS.
Integrate all existing backend APIs (54 APIs — 31 GET, 23 POST) with proper Keycloak authentication (JWT).
Reimplement background location services:
Android: Fused Location Provider
iOS: Significant Location Change & Background Location Updates
Implement MQTT-based real-time communication for alerts and messaging.
Improve map experience similar to Life360 app (live location tracking, smooth map rendering, trip history, and route visualization).
Ensure high performance, smooth animations, and minimal battery usage.
Maintain current app functionality and user flows.
Deliverables
Fully native Android and iOS apps (source code + builds).
Integrated and tested apps with all backend APIs.
Updated location services and MQTT functionality.
Enhanced map experience with smooth live location tracking.
Documentation for setup, build, and release.
Production-ready app packages for App Store and Play Store.
Requirements
Proven track record in migrating apps from cross-platform frameworks to native.
Expertise in background location tracking, real-time communication (MQTT), and map SDKs (Google Maps, MapKit).
Experience optimizing API-heavy apps (50+ APIs).
Familiarity with secure token-based API integration (JWT).
Ability to deliver clean, maintainable, and modular code.
Timeline
4–6 weeks
Next Steps
If you have experience in native app development, complex migrations, and real-time location-based apps, please submit:
Your portfolio or examples of similar projects.
Your estimated timeline and cost.
Tools and frameworks you plan to use.
We are looking for high-quality, performance-oriented native apps with a smooth map and location experience, similar to top safety apps like Life360.
