This talk is built around two of the most important blocks of a cross platform app, client + api development, as well as how to reach, based on that foundation, the quickest MVP that allows to identify the main pitfalls, issues and use cases of your project. Main aspects about topics like quick iteration, service integration, feedback loop and living in a beta world will be covered throughout the talk. For a better understanding, the presentation will be surrounded by a test case api built with Google App Engine and an Android client. The code will be open sourced and shared with the audience.
