BuildFire Plugin Maintenance
Keeping BuildFire plugins working through platform updates, dependency changes, and everyday bugs.
Plugins that worked fine at launch can break quietly as BuildFire updates the platform underneath them. We take on maintenance for existing plugins — including ones we didn't originally build — debugging, patching, and keeping them current.
What this covers
- Debugging existing plugins, including ones built by another team
- Upgrades to keep plugins working after BuildFire platform updates
- Performance troubleshooting for plugins that have slowed down over time
- iOS and Android testing after changes, not just a single-platform check
What a maintenance arrangement includes
- Platform updates — checks and fixes when BuildFire or the mobile operating systems change.
- Bug fixes — reproducing reported problems on real devices and fixing the cause.
- Dependency updates — keeping libraries and outside APIs current and secure.
- Small improvements — the adjustments users ask for once a plugin is in daily use.
Taking over a plugin someone else built
We start with a short review: how the plugin is structured, what it depends on, what is fragile, and what is undocumented. You get a plain summary of the risks and a recommendation — keep maintaining it, refactor parts of it, or plan a migration. Then we fix what is urgent first.
Questions we hear
Do you need the original source code? Yes; if it is missing, we discuss rebuilding the plugin instead.
Can maintenance be ongoing? Yes, as a support arrangement with an agreed response time.
