The SDK provides a unified set of APIs that can be used across both platforms, making it easy for developers to create AR experiences that run seamlessly on Android and iOS devices.
OpenStreetMap-based Maps and Navigation Application
https://osmand.net/At the time, OsmAnd was an Android-only application and was written in Java, except for a few bits that were implemented in C++ for performance reasons.
With a firm understanding that growth required multi-platform support, a new multi-platform C++-based core development was started. Initially, support for Windows Phone was considered as well, in addition to iOS, yet the platform died before the project fully supported it.
The rendering approaches in the legacy Java core and the new C++ core differed dramatically since the new core aimed to support 3D with the terrain. This imposed many challenges as it required a lot of device-specific OpenGL-related issues to be worked around.
We successfully achieved the goal of publishing OsmAnd to iOS and introducing 3D rendering with terrain support to the Android version of the app.

Deterministic Puppeteer Capture
A Puppeteer plugin for capturing a page as a video in a deterministic and lossless way. The project received considerable traction, with more than 300 peak weekly installs. The approach to capturing the video relies on an officially experimental API; thus, several known issues are present.
Inertial Motion Capture System (Gen 2)
The 3DSuit was an inertial motion capture system based on inertial sensors developed and produced by Inertial Labs, which took over the product from InnaLabs. The system was shipped with standalone software. The second generation of the system had more precise sensors and increased processing capacity, dramatically increasing captured motion quality.
The goal to deliver a robust, budget-friendly, and highly-mobile motion capture system was successfully achieved.

Android Operating System Adapted for Partnered Telecom Operators
The customized Android OS was part of a ChiliMobile ecosystem created for partnered telecom operators. We had to deliver a robust updatable OS image for devices.
The adaptation included a completely new Android Home design, bundling of regional applications, and custom firmware updates delivery.
The project was based on the system from one of Qualcomm's partners. It included various unwanted country-specific alterations like state-sponsored TLS root certificates, which posed a threat and required a full security audit to reveal those undocumented modifications.

OpenStreetMap-based Maps and Navigation Application Fork
The ecosystem required a maps and navigation solution as a part of an Android OS, so it was decided to take an open-source maps and navigation application and fork it for customizations. As it turned out, the application had issues with NDK-based rendering that had to be fixed first. The fixes were submitted as pull requests to the upstream project.
We successfully delivered a lightweight maps and navigation app with pre-bundled regional maps.
