Overview

Engagement overview

AmTote, a racing and gaming technology company, sought to expand its reach on the Android platform by distributing the 1stBet application through the Google Play Store. The existing iOS application required Android compatibility while maintaining consistent features and authentication across platforms. 

TO THE NEW worked with AmTote to configure the Android application, integrate authentication using the existing React codebase, and establish automated regression testing and CI/CD pipelines. The initiative supported Android distribution, consistent cross-platform functionality, and more efficient testing and deployment processes.
