Project description:
"I'm looking for an experienced app developer to create a utility shopping app for both iOS and Android platforms.

Key Requirements:
- User-friendly interface
- Secure payment integration
- Integrate AI functions
- Product search and filter functionality
- Wishlist and shopping cart features
- Push notifications for deals and updates

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proven experience in developing shopping or utility apps
- Strong knowledge of both iOS and Android development
- Expertise in UI/UX design
- Familiarity with secure payment systems
- Excellent communication skills for regular updates

If you are familiar with the app InstaCart I would be looking for a similar approach to clarify the scope. However the app would not function in the same way and will take a different approach.

Seeing the questions, I have very limited recent programming experience and therefore my terminology is certainly not current.

Please provide examples of previous work and a timeline for project completion. Let me know if you would consider an interest in partial ownership once you have the UX demo I provide. To clarify if this is an option we would come to an agreement on share prior to work commencing.

Having posted the project as a firm price I was somewhat concerned with the questions I received and felt it would be necessary to repost the project as hourly and break the project down to several phases as I proceed.

First phase will be to help validate data access from the stores themselves and whether or not this can be done with APIs vs scraping. This is critical should I move forward to development.

I also wish to ensure that we consider all possible uses of AI to enhance this process.

Once I award this first phase we will together lay out the remaining phases of the plan from Prototype to Mockup and development." (client-provided description)
