Platforms the app is being developed for

"Choose A Platform. The ideal approach to development is to launch on both iOS and Android, but that is not always feasible.

(Stellar Elements Canada, Inc., 2021).

Dependencies, assumptions, constraints, and submission

You do not need to discuss all four, but discuss at least two for your app.
"List Dependencies. Dependencies are any aspect that the product or product team relies on to meet objectives. These may include Hardware that the app will run on/communicate with (for example, beacons), Service/API documentation, and Profile/account/platform credentials." (Stellar Elements Canada, Inc., 2021).
"Include Your Assumptions. Assumptions relate to how product teams suspect users will behave or interact with their product. Include assumptions surrounding the business and technical aspects of the product: "X% of users will see enough value in the product to become regular users," "Technical requirement 'A' will work on the latest operating system," or "We can develop the product within a proposed time frame." (Stellar Elements Canada, Inc., 2021).
"List Your Constraints. Constraints are the limitations that teams must work within, typically related to scope, budget, and time. However, they may also include aspects like risk tolerance, resources/staff, and quality requirements." (Stellar Elements Canada, Inc., 2021).
"Define technical assets and information required for Apple's App Store submission and Google Play submission. Defining these requirements in the early stage of a project will significantly expedite the submission process when the product is ready for release." (Stellar Elements Canada, Inc., 2021).
