Transforming farmer’s lives using Android in Kenya
summary
Apollo builds two Kotlin Android apps that are offline-first and use server-driven UI so field agents fetch versioned schemas (one example is form v14) from the server, render dynamic forms from JSON Schema, collect photos and GPS, save to Room, and upload assets to AWS when connected. A two-engineer team implements conditional visibility and a built-in calculator via Choice Expressions so agents and graders can complete and sync loans and voucher redemptions on low‑RAM phones; migration to Jetpack Compose is underway.
