The Creation Layer Is Solved. Delivery Is the New Battlefield.

For a decade, mobile teams moved slowly - design took days, engineering took sprints, QA took weeks. That pace was “normal.”

But AI shattered that.

AI compressed creation from weeks to hours.

Design, code, copy, tests, everything now materializes instantly.

And suddenly the real bottleneck was exposed:

Teams can build fast, but they still ship slow.

The New Reality Inside Mobile Teams

Internally, screens appear in minutes.

Externally, nothing changes for days because App Store delivery + user adoption still crawl.

You hear the same frustrations everywhere:

  • “We built it already. Why aren’t users seeing it?”

  • “Creation feels like 2025. Delivery feels like 2012.”

  • “Our website updates daily. Our app updates quarterly.”

Teams aren’t slow. The architecture is slow.

AI Solved Creation. It Didn’t Solved Delivery.

AI now handles:

  • UI generation (Figma AI, Galileo, Uizard)

  • UX writing & localization

  • Engineering scaffold & refactors (Copilot, Cursor)

  • Automated QA (Walrus, QA Wolf)

  • Low-code full app generation (FlutterFlow, Bravo)

The creation timeline become shorter but release + adoption remain 4–12 days because app stores enforce it.

Your app can’t learn faster than your slowest user updates.

How Large Companies Solved Delivery

Airbnb, Nubank, PhonePe, Swiggy all use the same playbook:

Server-Driven UI + feature flags.

They shift UI, content and logic to the server so:

  • Updates skip App Store reviews

  • Experiments run instantly

  • Layouts and flows change live

  • Marketing + Design can update without developers

The app becomes a renderer. The server becomes the product.

What’s new in Digia?

AI in Expression Editor

This week, we shipped one of the most empowering updates to Digia: AI inside the Expression Editor, which now allows anyone to generate fully valid logic expressions using natural language.

Instead of writing complex conditions manually or depending on developers, you can now describe the rule in plain English. Digia then generates the complete expression instantly.

Here are a few examples:

  • “Show this section only for users who completed KYC in the last 30 days.”

  • “Display this card if the balance is above ₹500 and the user has no active offers.”

  • “Hide this CTA once the user has uploaded all documents.”

Every change updates instantly across the app, with no rebuilds, no releases, and no need for users to update their apps.

Android Moves to 16KB Memory Pages

Google has officially announced that all apps targeting Android 15+ must support 16KB memory page sizes starting November 1, 2025. This shift aligns with new hardware that uses larger memory pages for faster, more efficient performance.

Here’s the part developers actually care about:

• Pure Kotlin/Java apps? You’re safe.
Managed code already works with 16KB pages out of the box.

• Native code apps must rebuild.
Anything using C/C++, .so libraries, game engines, or third-party SDKs needs to be recompiled and retested.

• Expect smoother performance overall.
Google reports faster app launches, better battery efficiency, quicker camera startup, and reduced memory overhead.

• Play Store will enforce it.
Starting November, non-compliant apps may fail to run correctly on new devices — and can be blocked from updates.
