The thing that I found challenging as an app developer was to keep the MVC pattern, the more I try to keep it simple, the more it gets complex, and the second thing that I found challenging was to keep data in sync with the cloud database with proper error handling. Then comes the Machine Learning part where the challenging thing was to collect proper datasets, clean them, build algorithms, train models, deploy them on a cloud server, and integrate them with the app.
