Transforming Farmer's Lives Using Android in Kenya
summary
Apollo Agriculture runs two Android apps written in Kotlin that are offline‑first and render UI from the server using Jetpack Compose. Forms are JSON Schema driven with versioning and a Choice Expressions engine, images upload via AWS SDK, sync runs on a background schedule (≈every 10 minutes), and automated credit decisions move from hours to under five minutes. UI state is unit‑tested, field states handle validators and rehydration for low-end devices (≈1 GB RAM, <16 GB storage) and conditional tasks update without app releases.
