Android App Development for Phones & Tablets
Native Kotlin apps or a shared Flutter codebase for Android phones and tablets — built for Play Store compliance and real-world device fragmentation.
Overview
What this service covers
This covers new Android builds and taking over existing ones. We work in Kotlin for native apps, or Flutter when you want one codebase shared with iOS, following Material Design conventions. The app is wired to your REST or GraphQL API and backend, with push notifications, in-app billing and Google Play Console setup handled for you, and it is tested across a range of screen sizes and Android versions before Play Store submission.
Client Problems
Problems this service solves
- A business idea or existing web product has no dedicated Android app yet.
- An existing Android app is unstable across different devices and Android versions.
- A single cross-platform codebase is needed instead of separate iOS and Android builds.
- Play Store submission, policies and in-app billing need to be handled correctly.
Capabilities
What we do

FAQ
Android App Development FAQ
Common questions about scope, tools and delivery. For general questions about working with us, see the main FAQ page.
Do you build native Android apps with Kotlin?
Yes. Native Android development in Kotlin is our default when an app needs platform-specific UI, performance or hardware APIs.
Can you build Android apps with Flutter?
Yes. When you want one codebase shared with iOS, we build the Android app in Flutter and still ship it to the Play Store as a standard Android package. See our iOS app development service for the other half.
Can you develop an Android app for an existing backend or API?
Yes. We integrate with REST or GraphQL APIs and existing backends, and can build the backend as well if you don't have one.
Can you help with Google Play Store submission?
Yes. We prepare the Play Store listing assets, set up the Play Console entry and handle submission and review feedback.
Can you update or improve an existing Android app?
Yes. We take over an existing codebase to fix bugs, stabilise it across devices and Android versions, add features or refresh the UI.
Do I receive the Android app source code?
Yes. Delivery includes the full source code, build and signing instructions, API and integration documentation, and the Play Store listing assets.
