Ionic App Maintenance & Support
Your Ionic developer left, or the agency that built your app is gone, and the app still has to work. We take over Ionic and Cordova codebases we didn't write, fix what's breaking, and keep you compliant with App Store and Play Store policy.Emergency rescue when something is actively broken, or an ongoing retainer so it stays that way.
Built For Teams Stuck With An Orphaned Ionic App
If any of this sounds familiar, we've likely already solved it for someone else.
Who This Is For
The developer or agency who built your Ionic app is gone
Your app fails a new iOS or Android release and nobody can fix it
A Cordova plugin stopped working and blocked your last store update
You need a partner to take over a codebase your team didn't write
You want predictable monthly costs instead of emergency invoices
Problems We Solve
Store Rejections With No Owner
Apple or Google flags a policy change and there's no one left who understands the build pipeline well enough to fix it.
Bugs Piling Up Since Launch
Small issues that were never assigned to anyone have accumulated into a backlog nobody wants to touch.
Plugin and Dependency Rot
Cordova or Capacitor plugins are years out of date, and the next OS update risks breaking the app outright.
No Documentation, No Handover
Whoever built it left no notes, and every change means reverse-engineering the codebase first.
Keeping the App Alive vs Growing It
These are two different budgets and two different conversations. Knowing which one you're asking for keeps the scope and the invoice honest
Keeping It Running
Work that keeps the app doing exactly what it does today: no new screens, no new features, just nothing breaking.
Critical Bug Fixes
Example : Fixing a payment gateway failure or a checkout crash.
Security Vulnerability Updates
Example : Patching npm/pip vulnerabilities and rotating database keys.
OS & Dependency Updates
Example : Ensuring compatibility with iOS 17/18 or the latest Chrome release.
Performance Indexing & Database Tuning
Example : Optimizing PostgreSQL indexing to speed up load times.
Growing It
Work that adds something the app couldn't do before, whether that's a new feature, a cleaner codebase, or a smoother sign-up flow.
New Feature Delivery
Example : Implementing an export-to-PDF utility or adding user comments.
Third-Party API Integrations
Example : Connecting HubSpot CRM or adding Twilio SMS notifications.
Refactoring & Technical Debt Reduction
Example : Rewriting legacy components to optimize page loading speeds.
Analytics & UI Enhancements
Example : Modifying onboarding layouts based on user session heatmaps.
Predictable Monthly Cost, Not Emergency Invoices
Pick the tier that matches how much your app depends on staying up, or start with a rescue audit if nobody currently maintains it.
Essential
For stable apps that need routine upkeep and someone watching for OS or store breakage.
- OS and store compliance monitoring
- Critical bug fixes
- Dependency and plugin updates
- Monthly status report
- New feature development
- Emergency same-day response
Priority
For apps with real usage where downtime or a broken release actually costs you.
- Everything in Essential
- Priority response for store rejections
- Small feature and UX fixes included
- Direct access to your engineer, not a queue
- Large net-new feature builds
Rescue & Takeover
For apps with no current maintainer, where the first step is understanding what you actually have.
- Full codebase and dependency audit
- Stabilization plan for known issues
- Transition into an ongoing retainer
- Documentation as we go
How Fast You Actually Hear Back
Response time is part of what you're paying for at each tier. Here's what that means in hours, not marketing language.
Essential
First response within 2 business days for non-urgent issues.
Priority
First response same business day; store rejections get looked at within hours, not days.
Rescue & Takeover
If your app is down right now, we start the audit within 24 hours of the call.
Still Running the App We Built Years Ago
This is what an Ionic app looks like under an active maintenance retainer.
Scaling from 100 to 450+ Active Locations
Summon, a paperless valet management platform built on Ionic and Capacitor, has been in continuous production since launch. Divtechnosoft has maintained it directly since day one — OS updates, store compliance, dependency updates, and the day-to-day fixes that keep 450+ venues running without interruption.
"Divtechnosoft built our entire valet platform end-to-end, not just pieces of the code. The team always articulates options and solutions in a very clear and concise way. We are happy to be working with such a responsive, fast and reliable group of high quality engineers."

What Happens After You Call
No sales call that goes nowhere. Here's the actual sequence once you tell us something's broken.
Discovery & Access
You describe what's broken — a store rejection, a crash, a plugin that stopped working — and send us access to the repo and store listings.
Technical Audit
We run the audit: current Ionic/Capacitor/Cordova version, every plugin, what's abandoned, what's the actual cause of the break.
Action Plan & Pricing
You get a plain-language summary of what's wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether it's a one-off fix or something that needs an ongoing retainer.
Emergency Stabilization
If it's urgent, we start stabilizing before the full audit is even finished — we don't wait on paperwork while your app is down.
