New OS causes crashes and ticket spikes—teams then argue across ownership lines.
App Maintenance & Upgrades
After launch, the costliest week is when the app suddenly won't open.
OS adaptation, bugfixes, small features and dependency upgrades.
Risks of no maintenance
These usually show up before a project starts—or right after a rushed launch.
Expired payment/push SDKs fail silently—it often surfaces only after production impact.
Certificates expire—can't ship—iteration and local integration slow down.
Debt piles up until nobody dares change code—users feel it as inconsistent data or UX.
Cadenced maintenance
Define severity: crashes first, compat next, features by value. Schedule dependency upgrades with changelogs. OS and SDK churn is constant. Monthly or on-demand plans cover crashes, new OS support, dependency upgrades and prioritized small asks.
