Hi, I’m Jilakara Revanth Kumar, a B.Tech student in Computer Science and Engineering at RGUKT RK Valley. I’m passionate about Android development and excited to contribute to Mifos Mobile Applications as part of Mifos Summer of Code (MSOC) 2025.
As a part of this summer under MSOC, I am focusing on migrating the Mifos Android Client Field Officer Application to Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Compose Multiplatform (CMP). This migration will help the app become more modern, maintainable, and scalable across platforms, ultimately improving accessibility and performance for field officers and end users.
This blog will serve as a weekly progress tracker of my contributions, learnings, and challenges throughout the program. I hope it inspires and informs future contributors!
The goal of this project is to migrate the existing Mifos Android Field Officer application to Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) while enhancing its architecture, performance, and maintainability.
This migration aims to make the app run seamlessly across Android, iOS, Desktop, and Web, reducing code duplication and improving the developer experience.
Key aspects of this project include:
- 🔁 Replacing the existing RxJava-based network layer with
fineract-client-kmp-sdkusing Kotlin coroutines and Flow. - 📲 Introducing dynamic navigation graphs based on user roles to support multiple user types, not just Field Officers.
- 📡 Implementing offline sync functionality for uninterrupted access.
- ✅ Increasing testing coverage with unit and integration tests.
- 🚀 Enhancing CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions and Fastlane for streamlined Play Store releases.
By the end of this project, the Mifos Android Client will be a modular, scalable, and cross-platform solution, delivering a better experience for both developers and users.
👉 For more details, have a look at my comprehensive proposal submitted as a GSoC Proposal to Mifos.
Before officially beginning my Mifos Summer of Code (MSOC) 2025 journey, I actively contributed to the Mifos Mobile Applications for over 7 months. My focus was primarily on:
- Migrating the existing Mifos Android applications to Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP).
- Fixing UI/UX bugs and improving code structure across modules.
📌 Highlights:
- 19 Pull Requests successfully merged before MSOC.
- Migrated 7 modules in the
mifos-mobilerepository. - Contributed to 2 modules in the legacy
android-clientproject.
I’m incredibly thankful to the amazing Mifos community for their constant support and guidance throughout this journey.
Thanks to Mifos:
- I gained in-depth knowledge of Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP).
- Improved significantly in Android architecture patterns, SOLID principles, and clean code practices.
- Sharpened my version control and collaborative development skills.
This strong foundation has set me up to confidently take on the challenges of MSOC!
This section will document my weekly progress throughout the Mifos Summer of Code (MSOC) 2025 journey. Each row summarizes the work done during a specific week, and links to a dedicated README for more in-depth insights.
