Android Development Agency

The number of screens, the hardware functions involved and the variety of professional devices to support weigh the most on the price. Every project is priced on quotation, once your needs and the target device fleet have been specified during scoping. A project intended for rugged or professional devices often calls for testing on several additional models, work included in the quote as soon as the target fleet and the conditions of use in the field have been identified with you.

For a standard scope, allow 21 to 60 days between the first discussion and publication on the Play Store; a broader project, with several modules or extended compatibility across many models, calls for closer to 60 days. Development in Kotlin, testing on different devices and publication, generally faster on Google's side than on Apple's, take up most of that time. This estimate is refined as soon as the target device fleet is known, with some margin for the oldest models to be supported.

Cross-platform is enough for most Android projects and makes it possible to cover iOS at the same time without multiplying budgets. Native comes into its own when the application has to run on professional or rugged devices, use specific hardware such as a built-in scanner, or access a very recent Android function as soon as it is released. We frame this choice with you according to the actual device fleet targeted and the conditions of use in the field, never out of habit. Many projects in fact combine the two, with a native module targeted at the one screen that requires it.

Yes. The audit covers the Kotlin or Java code, how it is organised and its compatibility with recent versions of Android, as well as its actual behaviour on the device models your teams use day to day. This verification in the field matters particularly when the application has to run on professional or rugged devices, whose behaviour sometimes varies from one model to another. You then receive a costed and prioritised takeover plan, before any decision on your side.

On Android, an optional annual maintenance package can cover compatibility with new versions of the system, monitoring of the various device models used by your teams, as well as fixes and small developments; its price follows the actual scope of the project. The variety of the Android fleet makes this follow-up particularly useful, since one specific model may behave differently from another after a system update. You choose whether to take it or not: the code remains your property from delivery onwards in any case.

Yes, entirely, from delivery onwards: code repository, the Google developer account used for publication, the technical documentation needed to take the project over. Across a varied device fleet, this documentation also details the models tested and any specific adaptations, so that another team can take the project over without starting from scratch on the hardware compatibility already validated in the field. This ownership matters particularly for teams that already manage a professional fleet and want to keep the ability to develop the application without depending on our agency in the long run.

On Android, an application's visibility depends first on its Play Store listing rather than on classic Google search: title, description and visuals are worked on before each release, and we take care of that with you. For applications intended for field teams, this visibility often matters less than reliability across the device fleet actually in use, our concrete priority on this type of project. Your website's search visibility follows its own rules and remains a separate piece of work.
