EAS App – Protestant Working Group for Soldier Care
Association
The Challenge
Context and audience
The Protestant Working Group for Soldier Care (EAS) supports armed forces personnel and their families with counselling, events, and spiritual offerings. A Flutter-based app needed to keep pace with new iOS and Android releases, security policies, and device fragmentation. Content about services, locations, and “Losungen” (daily texts), plus features such as event registration and mindfulness audio, had to remain reliable as store rules and system dialogs evolved.
Technical challenge
Evolving an existing Flutter app requires a clear split between UI work, plugin updates, and native configuration for Xcode and Android Gradle. Without structured releases, regressions on older devices or OEM-specific behaviour become likely. The association also needed transparent communication on milestones and testable builds so stakeholders could track progress.
Our Solution

Evolution and platform alignment
We modernised the EAS app together with the association step by step: updating Flutter and dependencies, replacing deprecated APIs, and aligning with Apple App Store and Google Play requirements. Where needed, we refined screens and navigation so information on events, locations, and daily texts, and the delivery of audio for personal downtime, remain stable and clear—for service members and their families as described for the product.
Collaboration and quality
The focus was on regular dialogue with the client: agreeing on builds, traceable release steps, and testing on common iPhones and Android devices. Development and QA are handled by our team in East Frisia (Made in Germany), keeping communication paths short and ownership of the technical delivery clear.
Results
Benefits for the association
The app remains usable for the target audience as mobile operating systems evolve. The association can continue to reach service members via smartphone—from information and registrations to supporting content for personal reflection. Our work with EAS shows how non-profit organisations benefit from maintainable Flutter development and dependable delivery partners.
