How many teammates from Ackee were assigned to this project? 6-10 Employees Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables. Ackee is developing a library for a future app named e-Doklad. e-Doklad will be used to store ID cards and other personal documents. The library is core functionality in the app and it has to follow ISO document and is of course very focused on security. Together we consulted the application specification, then studied the ISO on the basis of which we proposed the next procedure - the application must naturally meet certain conditions. From the specified procedure we programmed a PoC and on that basis we thought it was doable. Next, we discuss the procedure so that we adhere to the conditions of the ISO document.

A chat messaging and activity feed infrastructure builder needed help with the development of their iOS chat SDK. They chose to partner with Ackee in order to assist with the tasks needed for the project.
The Ackee team's presence on the project did a lot to improve the project as not only did they help with building and testing the chat SDK, they also helped with the company's SwiftUI wrappers and demo apps. Every member of the team was helpful and responsive throughout their partnership.
