Frequently Asked Questions
Which Android versions do you support?
We typically target Android 8.0 (Oreo) and above, which covers over 95% of active Android devices. If your use case requires specific newer APIs, we can set a higher minimum SDK. We'll advise on the right minimum version based on your target market during planning.
How do you handle the fragmentation of Android devices?
Android device fragmentation is real but manageable with the right approach. We use Android's adaptive layout system and constraint-based designs that work across screen sizes. We test on a wide range of devices using Firebase Test Lab's real device cloud to catch device-specific issues before launch.
What is the difference between native Android and cross-platform development?
Native Android development with Kotlin gives you the best performance, fullest access to Android APIs, and the most refined user experience. Cross-platform solutions (React Native, Flutter) allow a single codebase for both iOS and Android, which can reduce cost for simpler apps. We'll recommend the right approach for your specific project.
How long does Google Play review take?
Initial Google Play reviews typically take 3 to 7 days. Subsequent updates are usually reviewed within 2 to 3 days. We factor this into project timelines so launch dates aren't delayed. We prepare your store listing, screenshots, and privacy policy to minimise the risk of review issues.
Can you build enterprise Android apps for internal use?
Yes. Enterprise Android apps distributed outside Google Play through Android Enterprise or direct APK distribution are a speciality. These often include MDM integration, kiosk mode, device management APIs, and custom launcher applications for specific business use cases.
