FIRST APP GUIDE

Next Steps

Congratulations! You've completed the quickstart guide and built a solid foundation for your app. Let's recap what you've accomplished:

  1. Created a new Codika project with best-practice architecture
  2. Set up continuous deployment with Codemagic
  3. Configured TestFlight distribution
  4. Added a new feature (FAQ) to your app
  5. Deployed it instantly using Shorebird code push
  6. Integrated analytics to track user behavior

Where to Go From Here​

Now that you have a working app with a professional infrastructure, it's time to make it truly yours! This typically involves two main areas:

1. Adding Your Custom Features​

Start building the unique features that make your app special. You can:

  • Create new blocks for your specific functionality
  • Modify existing blocks to match your requirements
  • Integrate additional services and APIs
  • Add custom business logic

2. Customizing the Design System​

Make your app visually distinctive by:

  • Updating the color scheme
  • Customizing typography
  • Modifying component styles
  • Adding your branding elements
  • Creating custom animations

Coming Soon

We're currently working on two comprehensive guides to help you with these next steps:

  1. Feature Development Guide - A deep dive into creating custom blocks, integrating services, and building complex features
  2. Design System Customization - Step-by-step instructions for making the UI/UX truly yours

These guides will be available soon! In the meantime, feel free to explore the existing blocks and experiment with the design system files in your project.

Remember​

You've built your app on a solid foundation:

  • Clean, maintainable architecture
  • Professional deployment pipeline
  • Instant update capability
  • Built-in analytics
  • Type-safe, testable codebase

These fundamentals will make it much easier to add your custom features and styling while maintaining high code quality and professional delivery standards.
