Android Development

Android's hard part is variety. Screen sizes, OS versions, manufacturer skins, and background execution limits that differ by vendor all mean an app that runs perfectly on one phone can misbehave on another in ways nobody predicted from a simulator.

So testing runs on real devices across a spread of versions, and background work is built against the strictest battery rules rather than the most permissive. Notifications that arrive on one manufacturer's phone and vanish on another are almost always this.

We build in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for native work, and React Native where the same product ships to both stores. Play Store release management, staged rollouts, and Play Console policy handling are part of the work rather than a handover problem.

// what you get

What's included.

  • Kotlin and Jetpack Compose builds, or React Native for both platforms from one codebase
  • Testing across real devices, OS versions, and screen sizes rather than one emulator
  • Background work built against strict battery and execution limits
  • Play Console setup, staged rollouts, and policy compliance
  • Google Play Billing for subscriptions and one-time purchases
  • Crash and ANR monitoring, with the fixes prioritized by how many users they hit
// where it fits

The situations this is usually bought for.

Notifications that arrive on some phones and not others

Nearly always aggressive battery management by a manufacturer. The fix is architectural rather than a setting.

An app that works on new phones and crashes on old ones

A device and version matrix, tested properly, turns a stream of one-star reviews into a short list of specific bugs.

A workforce on company-issued Android devices

Managed deployment, kiosk mode, and offline capture for staff who are not on the app store at all.
