Development of a Cross-Platform Mobile Application and an Image Cloud Storage for an IoT System

The iXemWine platform, developed by the research group from the iXem Laboratory, uses wireless technology applied to precision agriculture in rural areas that allows wine producers to monitor their vineyards through a web application. Given the widespread use of smartphones, there was a need to create a mobile application to help the visualization the data collected from different sensors in a meaningful way. The two main operating systems, Android and iOS, uses both distinct languages to create native apps which are fast and optimized, but this leads to a duplication of the code base. There are cross-platform solutions aim to simplify this problem by using a single programming language for multiple platforms. The main goal of this project is to develop a cross-platform mobile application using the framework React Native, a JavaScript framework for writing natively rendering mobile applications for iOS and Android. The goal of the second part of the project is to investigate the different options for cloud storage service for pictures taken by the sensor’s camera and visualize them in the application.
