Keyhole’s Role In Development
Ecosport Sun Protection, of Sunflower Dermatology, approached Keyhole Software for assistance in making an idea come to life. As Sunflower Dermatology is not a software company, Keyhole provided all technical advisory and development roles for the project, while being in direct communication on the process and progress with the client.
Because of the company’s intent to release as quickly as possible, Keyhole consultants chose MonoTouch (now known as Xamarin.iOS) as the platform for development. The application took a total of three months from concept to Apple App Store acceptance.
