Powerful Android Apps Built with React Native

Android app development costs range from $25,000 to $150,000+ depending on complexity. Simple apps cost $25k-$45k, medium-complexity apps with custom features range from $45k-$90k, and enterprise-grade applications exceed $100k. Android development can be slightly less expensive than iOS due to lower device testing requirements, but the difference narrows with React Native cross-platform development.

The choice depends on your target market. Choose Android first if targeting emerging markets (India, Brazil, Southeast Asia), budget-conscious users, or if your app requires deep hardware customization. Choose iOS first if targeting US/European markets, premium users with higher spending power, or if design polish is critical. With React Native, you can launch on both platforms simultaneously, which we often recommend.

Android fragmentation is a real challenge with thousands of device variants. We address this by: targeting the most popular devices covering 80%+ of your user base, using responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes, testing on real devices through cloud testing services (Firebase Test Lab, BrowserStack), and following Material Design guidelines for consistency. We also implement graceful degradation for older devices.

We typically support Android 8.0 (API level 26) and above, which covers 95%+ of active Android devices globally. This balance ensures broad compatibility while allowing us to use modern Android features and APIs. For specific markets or enterprise deployments, we can adjust the minimum supported version based on your user analytics.

Yes, we handle the complete Google Play Store submission process. This includes setting up your Google Play Console account, preparing store listings with optimized descriptions, creating screenshots and promotional graphics, configuring pricing and distribution, managing the review process, and implementing Google Play's required policies. We also help with staged rollouts for risk-free launches.

Yes, we develop for all Android form factors including smartphones, tablets, foldable devices (Samsung Galaxy Fold, etc.), Android TV, and Wear OS smartwatches. We use responsive design patterns and Android's multi-window support to ensure your app looks great and functions properly on any screen size or configuration.

We use Kotlin as our primary language for native Android development—it's Google's preferred language and offers better safety, conciseness, and modern features compared to Java. For cross-platform development, we use React Native with TypeScript, allowing code sharing between Android and iOS. Legacy projects requiring Java integration are also supported.

We implement multiple security layers: encrypted SharedPreferences for sensitive data storage, SSL certificate pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, ProGuard/R8 code obfuscation, secure authentication with biometrics and OAuth, root detection, and compliance with Android security best practices. For financial or healthcare apps, we ensure PCI-DSS or HIPAA compliance respectively.

Absolutely. We integrate the full range of Google services including Firebase (authentication, real-time database, cloud messaging, analytics, crashlytics), Google Maps and Location Services, Google Pay, Google Sign-In, Google Cloud Platform APIs, Google Ads, and Google Assistant integration. Our team is experienced with Google's SDKs and best practices.

Our Android maintenance packages include: bug fixes and performance optimization, Android version compatibility updates (crucial when Google releases new OS versions), security patches, Google Play policy compliance updates, dependency updates, server-side maintenance, analytics monitoring and reporting, and priority support for critical issues. We recommend ongoing maintenance for all production apps.
