How can a developer make apps to instantaneously run on any real, global, mobile carrier network in a dead simple manner, without changing any code? How to analyze the network traffic and see targeted corrections along with boost estimates. This performance depends upon (but can be easily learnt as building blocks) multiple factors including signal strengths, tower handoffs, and spectrum differences across geographies. Apps can do way better by tweaking a few parameters like idle timeout times, optimizing sdk logs, using good image libraries etc. In the talk, we share how developers can launch products with the confidence that their applications will work in all the network conditions their users experience. Eventually, it is all about app performance, quality and stability. This impacts DAUs and installs. And this in turn hugely impacts user experience and revenues.

Outline

Figure out how to capture network traffic on real 2g 3g 4g networks for your app, judst like wireshark and optimize for the performance of apps.

Requirements

Android phone
