What changed

  1. 01

    Payments

    Before

    Settlement broke every time payment gateway rules changed

    After

    Switched gateways four times, redesigned settlement, and landed on in-app purchases.

  2. 02

    Refunds

    Before

    Users spent credits and then got refunds (refund events weren’t received)

    After

    Within 3 days: a refund webhook plus automatic credit clawback.

  3. 03

    Release

    Before

    Two App Store rejections, and every fix meant another review

    After

    Moved to OTA updates so fixes no longer wait on review every time.

  4. 04

    Security

    Before

    Security gaps in code built quickly with AI agents

    After

    A full audit four months in blocked 4 critical issues.
