ISSUE #01

App Looks Broken on Half Your Users' Devices

Android runs on 24,000+ device models across 8 active OS versions. An app tested on two Pixel phones ships with untested layout breaks on Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and OnePlus — which cover 80% of real-world installs.

Our fix

We maintain a device test matrix across major OEM skins and screen densities. Every release is tested on real physical hardware before it reaches the internal testing track.

Android done the right way

Kotlin + Jetpack Compose

Modern Android stack. Compose UI is faster to build and more maintainable than XML layouts — less code, same native performance, smooth 60fps rendering.

Security by Default

Biometric auth, encrypted local storage (Room + SQLCipher), certificate pinning, and Play Integrity API for tamper detection and device attestation.

FCM Push Notifications

Firebase Cloud Messaging with rich notifications, notification channels, deep-link routing, and delivery tracking — configured from day one.

Offline-First Architecture

Apps that work without internet. Local-first data with Room, background sync when connectivity returns — no loading spinners frustrating your users.

Background Services

WorkManager for reliable background tasks, location tracking, file downloads, and scheduled operations — guaranteed execution even when the app is closed.

Play Store Deployment

App signing, store listing optimization, staged rollout strategy, and in-app review prompts. We handle the launch mechanics — you collect the installs.

Spec → Design → Build → Play Store

From device strategy to staged Play Store rollout — transparent sprint delivery.

01Week 1–2

Discovery & Device Strategy

Target device matrix, Android version support decisions, permissions strategy, and feature prioritization. We identify every Play Store policy requirement upfront — no surprises during review.

02Week 2–4

Material 3 Design & Prototype

High-fidelity Figma screens designed to Material Design 3 guidelines. Adaptive layouts tested across common device sizes and OEM skins before engineering begins.

03Week 4–10

Kotlin Development & Testing

MVVM + coroutines + Flow. Unit tests with JUnit, UI tests with Espresso. Code review on every PR. Firebase Crashlytics from sprint one. Play Store internal track builds every two weeks.

04Week 10+

Play Store Launch & Growth

Internal → closed testing → staged production rollout with Play Console monitoring. ASO-optimized metadata, graphic assets, and data safety declaration. Crashlytics monitoring through launch.

Frequently asked questions

We target Android 7.0 (API 24) and above by default, covering 98%+ of active devices. Support for older versions adds meaningful complexity — we'll give you a clear trade-off breakdown if you need it.

Kotlin. Java is legacy Android. Kotlin is the official Android language, actively developed by JetBrains and Google, and required for Jetpack Compose. All new code is Kotlin.

Yes. We're full-stack. Node.js, Go, or Firebase alongside the app, or integration with your existing API. API contract is designed from the start — both sides move in sync.

An MVP with auth, core features, backend integration, and Play Store submission takes 8–14 weeks. Complex apps with real-time features, payments, or heavy offline sync take 16–24 weeks.

A focused Kotlin/Jetpack Compose MVP typically runs $25,000–$60,000, while a feature-rich app with payments, offline sync, background services, and a backend ranges $60,000–$130,000+. We scope a fixed price after the device-strategy and discovery phase so there are no open-ended hourly surprises.

Android runs on 24,000+ device models across many OEM skins, so we maintain a device test matrix covering Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Oppo across multiple screen densities and OS versions. Every release is tested on real physical hardware — not just emulators — and we specifically validate Doze mode and OEM battery-killer behavior before it reaches the Play Store.

Yes — entirely. App signing, store listing and ASO, graphic assets, the Data Safety declaration, and staged rollout through the Play Console are all handled by us. We audit permissions and deprecated APIs on every release and track Google's quarterly policy updates proactively, which is why we've never had a Play Store policy violation.

Yes — you own 100% of the Kotlin source code with full Git history, and the app is published under your own Google Play Console account so installs, reviews, and revenue belong to you. There's no vendor lock-in: another team can pick up a clean MVVM codebase with documented ProGuard/R8 rules at any time.
