Android App Development Services for Every Android Device

Native Android development with Kotlin offers superior performance, immediate access to latest Android features and Google services, better integration with Android ecosystem (Google Pay, Maps, ML Kit), optimal battery efficiency, and seamless support for diverse Android devices (phones, tablets, foldables, wearables, TV). Native apps fully leverage Material Design 3, provide better user experience, and offer superior device compatibility across different manufacturers and screen sizes.

Google Play Store review is typically much faster than App Store, usually completing within a few hours to 1 day for most apps. First-time submissions may take slightly longer. Apps are automatically scanned for policy violations, malware, and content issues. If flagged, manual review may extend the timeline. Using internal/closed testing tracks before production release helps catch issues early. We ensure your app meets all Google Play policies to minimize rejection risk and expedite approval.

We recommend targeting the latest Android API level (Android 14/API 34 as of 2024) and setting minimum SDK to API 24 (Android 7.0), which covers approximately 95% of active devices. However, this depends on your target market and analytics. Apps must target API level within one year of latest release to remain on Play Store. We analyze Android version distribution data and your user demographics to recommend optimal API levels for maximum reach while maintaining modern features.

We address Android fragmentation through: responsive layouts using ConstraintLayout and Jetpack Compose, comprehensive device testing across manufacturers (Samsung, Google, OnePlus, Xiaomi), screen size adaptation with resource qualifiers, backward compatibility with AndroidX libraries, Material Design 3 for consistent UI, and defensive programming for API level differences. We test on both physical devices and emulators representing popular device categories, ensuring your app works flawlessly across the Android ecosystem.

Android app development costs vary by complexity: Simple apps (MVP) typically range $15,000-$40,000, medium-complexity apps $40,000-$100,000, and complex enterprise apps can exceed $100,000. Factors include features, design requirements, Google services integration, and third-party APIs. Android development can sometimes be slightly more cost-effective than iOS due to fewer strict guidelines. Google Play Developer account costs $25 (one-time). Play Store takes 15-30% commission on in-app purchases and subscriptions.

Choose native Android if you need: maximum performance, latest Android features immediately, deep Google services integration (Maps, ML Kit, Firebase), or complex device-specific features (foldables, Android Auto). Choose cross-platform (React Native/Flutter) if you need: faster time-to-market for both platforms, lower development costs, single codebase maintenance, or simpler business apps. We analyze your requirements, target audience, budget, timeline, and feature complexity to recommend the best approach. Many successful apps start with Android (larger global market share) then expand.

We implement In-App Purchases using Google Play Billing Library, supporting: one-time products (consumables, non-consumables), subscriptions (weekly, monthly, annual), subscription features (grace periods, account hold, pause), secure purchase verification, and deferred purchases for pending payments. Implementation includes proper error handling, offline purchase caching, purchase acknowledgment, and subscription management. Google Play takes 15% commission (first $1M revenue) then 30%, or 15% for subscriptions after year 1. We integrate analytics for revenue tracking and optimization.

Our post-launch services include: 24/7 app monitoring with Firebase Crashlytics, bug fixes and performance optimization, Android version updates (supporting new OS releases), security patches and Play Integrity API updates, feature enhancements based on user feedback, Play Store ASO for better discoverability, keyword optimization and listing updates, staged rollouts for safer updates, and A/B testing with Google Play experiments. We offer flexible support packages from basic monitoring to dedicated growth teams for continuous improvement.
