Kotlin & Java Development, Play Store Launch, and App Maintenance
Android apps built to actually maintain, not just ship
Android holds the largest global mobile OS install base, spanning everything from budget smartphones to flagship devices — which means an Android app has to perform reliably across a much wider spread of hardware than its iOS equivalent. We build native Android apps in Kotlin using Jetpack Compose and MVVM architecture, engineered for that real device diversity rather than tested only on the latest flagship.
What we build
- Native Android apps in Kotlin, using Jetpack Compose and MVVM architecture
- UI built to Android's Material Design 3 guidelines, not a ported iOS layout
- REST and GraphQL API integration, Firebase Realtime Database, offline-first sync with Room
- Play Store listing, staged rollout and release management
- Push notifications via FCM, in-app messaging and notification preferences
- Google Pay integration and Play Billing for subscriptions and in-app purchases
- Automated testing with Espresso and Firebase Test Lab across device configurations
Who it's for
Businesses that need a genuinely native Android app — connected to a real backend, built to scale past the first few hundred users rather than a prototype that only survives the demo.
Why device fragmentation is an engineering decision, not an afterthought
Unlike iOS's relatively narrow hardware range, an Android app has to hold up across a genuinely wide spread of screen sizes, chipsets and Android versions. We treat testing across that spread as part of the build, not a QA pass tacked onto the end — a layout that looks right on a single test device is not evidence it works everywhere your actual users are.
How we work
Apps connect to a real, properly engineered backend — see Custom Web Platforms and API & Systems Integration. Where you need both iOS and Android from one codebase instead, see Hybrid App Development.
Questions we get asked
Do you build native Kotlin apps, or do you default to a cross-platform framework?
Native Kotlin is our default for Android-specific work — it gives the best performance and access to the full platform. We recommend a hybrid approach instead where a genuinely shared iOS/Android codebase is the better fit for the project; that is an honest scoping conversation, not an upsell.
Can you take over an existing Android app rather than starting from scratch?
Often, yes — we start with a technical review of the existing codebase before proposing whether to extend it or rebuild the parts that are genuinely holding it back.
Do you handle the Play Store submission process?
Yes — store listing, screenshots, metadata and staged rollout are part of the build, not a separate afterthought you have to arrange yourself.
How do you test across so many different Android devices?
Automated testing with Espresso and Firebase Test Lab across a range of device configurations, rather than relying on a single physical test device to represent the whole Android install base.
How We Deliver
Discovery
We map your goals, users, workflows, integrations, and technical requirements before writing a single line of code.
Solution Design
We define architecture, user flows, data models, integrations, and delivery boundaries before build work accelerates.
Development
Sprint-based build with progress updates, code reviews, and continuous testing.
Launch & Improve
Go-live support, monitoring, operational handover, and iteration once real users begin using the system.
