Android Development
Android is not one platform, it is thousands of devices: budget phones with little memory, flagships, tablets, different screen sizes and OS versions. An Android app that is only tested on the developer's own phone will fail somewhere in that range. We build and test for the range.
In India and many other markets, a large share of users are on mid-range and budget Android phones. We set performance budgets for those devices — startup time, memory use, app size — and test on real low-end hardware, not just emulators and flagships.
Slow networks get the same treatment: screens load from a local cache first, images are sized for the device, and the app keeps working when the connection drops, syncing when it returns.
Native Android is the right choice for apps that lean on the device: background services, Bluetooth and hardware, deep system integration, or performance-critical screens. Where you also need an iPhone app and the screens are mostly business workflows, Flutter or React Native share one codebase across both.
We make that decision with you at the planning stage, against your features and budget, and write down the trade-off so it can be revisited rather than argued about later.
Most business apps are a window onto other systems. For a multi-location gym chain, the Android and iPhone member app we built in React Native connects to the CRM, QR-code entry gates and kiosk payments on AWS, so a membership change shows up at the gate immediately.
That integration layer — APIs, authentication, sync and error handling — is where most of the engineering goes, and it is what decides whether the app feels reliable.
We prepare the Play Store listing, data-safety form and release tracks, roll out gradually to a percentage of users first, and watch crash and ANR (app not responding) rates before going to everyone.
Google raises its target Android version requirement every year, and apps that fall behind stop being offered to new users. Maintenance keeps the app current with those requirements, fixes what crash reports reveal and ships small improvements on a regular cadence.
Tokens and sensitive data are stored with Android's keystore, not in plain preferences. Network traffic is encrypted, and the API behind the app checks every request instead of trusting that the app is genuine.
Before release we review the app against the OWASP Mobile Top 10, remove debug settings, and shrink and obfuscate the code, so the build on Google Play reveals as little as possible about how it works.
While we scope this together, here's what's already a proven, dedicated service.
The answers are the same ones we give on a first call — including where the honest answer is "it depends, and here is what it depends on".
It depends on the screens, integrations and whether iPhone is needed too. A focused first version is much smaller than a full product. We give a fixed estimate after a scoping call.
Yes, if it is built for them from the start. We set performance budgets for mid-range and budget devices and test on real hardware before launch.
Yes. With Flutter or React Native most of the code is shared, which usually lowers the cost of building and maintaining both apps.
Yes. We handle the listing, data-safety form, staged rollout and review. The app is published under your own Google Play account.
A focused first release typically takes a few months, following our seven delivery stages from discovery through testing and launch.
Yes. We audit the code and crash reports first, then update it to current Android requirements and fix the highest-impact problems.
Kotlin for new native Android work, as Google recommends. We maintain existing Java apps and move them to Kotlin gradually where it helps.
Yes. Screens load from local storage, actions are queued while offline, and data syncs when the connection returns, with conflicts handled by rules agreed with you.
Tell us what you're building and we'll be honest about whether we're the right fit.
