After you get the app done, can a non techie manage it? No need to hire someone from a tech background to manage it? Like if it’s a task app, can the non tech guy hand over tasks? Through admin panel or something? Or again need a tech guy?
Obviously for bugs and new ideas that i conceive needs an external developer to add to it, I know that.
But then just about what the app is designed to do.
Can I change the UPI Id, without being a tech guy?
Can I hand out push notifications by just writing in some place? Or need code?
Please do explain a bit without condescending:)
Think app development as if it is farming.
Your outsourcing company is basically just a farmhand. You ideally still want your own technical people, if anything to act as the architect. This is because many of the architecture choices’ will impact your outcome, but not in an immediate way. Sure, the outsourcing company can help you architect, but their goal is to complete the dev and handover, not the potential future problem if certain things are done in a certain way.
For example, because their goal is to show that they have planted some crops, and that the crops is producing during handover, they can just choose to hand water all the crops (easiest) and not build a proper irrigation system.
Now to answer your question, the farm can run today, but things do break down. Suppose there is no rain for an extended amount of time, you will need to quickly adapt on how to sustain your farm. If you don’t have anyone inhouse, it will be very risky.
You will also need to make sure your soil is healthy along the way.
Point is, tech development is a “living” thing. You can’t just do it once and be done with it.
