An app that performs across Android's device fragmentation
Test against real screen sizes, manufacturers and OS versions so the app doesn't just work on your reference device—it works on the ones your users actually own.

Quick answer
What is Android app development?
Android app development is the process of designing, building and releasing native apps for Android phones, tablets and other devices, typically using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Integr8e delivers Android app development end to end—strategy, UX, native engineering, device testing, Google Play submission and ongoing support.
- Native Kotlin & Jetpack Compose engineering
- Built to Google's Material Design guidelines
- Google Play Console submission handled
- Tested across devices, screen sizes & Android versions
Business outcomes
Built for Google Play review, not just a demo.
Integr8e approaches android app development as a business capability—not an isolated technical task. Priorities stay connected to the users, operations and results behind the work.
An app that passes Google Play review the first time
Build to Google's Material Design guidelines and Play Console policies from day one, so submission doesn't turn into a policy rejection loop.
Native performance users notice
Use Kotlin and Jetpack Compose directly instead of a cross-platform wrapper, so scrolling, animation, background tasks and permissions feel instant on real hardware.
Full ownership of the code and Play Console access
Receive maintainable Kotlin source code, Google Play Console access and documentation for a product you control, not one locked to a single agency or contractor.
What we deliver
Android app development services from strategy to Google Play.
One connected team covers the decisions and delivery work needed to move from uncertainty to a dependable outcome.
Discovery & platform strategy
Clarify the core user journey, target devices, Android version range and whether native—rather than cross-platform—is the right call before design starts.
UX & Material Design
Design navigation, interaction and accessibility that follow Google's Material Design guidelines so the app feels native to Android, not adapted from iOS.
Native Kotlin & Jetpack engineering
Build the app in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose with Room and Retrofit, connected to secure backend services and APIs.
Android ecosystem integration
Connect biometric authentication, push notifications, background services, widgets and other native Android APIs your product needs.
Device & Google Play quality assurance
Test across manufacturers, screen sizes, Android OS versions and network conditions, then validate against Google Play's policies before submission.
Google Play release & growth
Manage Play Console, staged rollouts, versioning, crash monitoring and post-launch iteration using real usage data.
Is this the right fit?
Best suited for founders and product teams launching a new Android app, or rebuilding an existing app that needs to perform reliably across Android's wide range of devices and OS versions.
Not every challenge needs the same team or solution. We start by testing the business case, current constraints and fastest credible route to value—then recommend a scope that fits the evidence.
Delivery architecture
A controlled path from concept to a live Google Play release.
The plan adapts to your context, while short feedback loops and visible milestones keep the engagement controlled.
- 01
Discover
Define users, core journeys, target devices, Android version range and the business case for a native build.
- 02
Design
Prototype navigation, interaction and visual design against Google's Material Design guidelines before engineering starts.
- 03
Build
Develop the app in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose in short iterations, with a working build on real devices at every milestone.
- 04
Assure
Test devices, screen sizes, Android versions, accessibility, performance and Google Play policies ahead of submission.
- 05
Launch & grow
Submit to Google Play, monitor crashes and adoption, and prioritise updates using production evidence.
Technology context
Tools chosen around the problem—not the trend.
We select platforms against security, scale, team fit, integration needs and the full cost of ownership.
- Kotlin
- Java

What is Android app development?
Android app development is the process of designing, building and releasing native apps for Android phones, tablets and other devices, typically using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Integr8e delivers Android app development end to end—strategy, UX, native engineering, device testing, Google Play submission and ongoing support.
What Android app development services does Integr8e provide?
Integr8e designs and builds native Android apps, including UX design against Google's Material Design guidelines, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose engineering, backend and API integration, device and OS-version testing, and Google Play Console submission and support.
Should I build a native Android app or use a cross-platform framework like React Native or Flutter?
Native Kotlin and Jetpack Compose development gives the best performance across Android's wide range of devices, deeper access to Android APIs, and day-one compatibility with new OS releases—which matters for apps with background processing, widgets or hardware integration. Cross-platform tools can lower cost when you also need iOS from one codebase and performance needs are moderate. Integr8e reviews your requirements and audience before recommending either path.
How much does Android app development cost?
Cost depends on scope—a focused MVP with a handful of core screens costs less than a full-featured app with backend integrations, offline support and complex business logic tested across many devices. Integr8e scopes the requirement first and provides a phased estimate with clear assumptions rather than a generic day rate.
How long does it take to build an Android app?
A focused Android MVP typically takes eight to twelve weeks, while a fuller app with integrations, multiple user roles and broad device support takes longer. Integr8e defines milestones after discovery instead of giving an unreliable one-size-fits-all timeline.
Will you sign an NDA, and who owns the app and code afterwards?
Yes. Integr8e signs an NDA before discovery begins if you need one. Ownership and licensing are set out in the engagement agreement, and you receive the Kotlin source code, Google Play Console access and documentation—no hidden dependency on our team to operate or extend the app.
Can you modernise or rebuild an existing Android app, including migrating Java to Kotlin?
Yes. Integr8e audits the existing codebase, architecture, crash and performance data, and Google Play rating before planning an incremental rebuild or a phased Java to Kotlin migration that avoids a risky rewrite from scratch.
How do you handle Google Play submission and policy rejections?
Integr8e validates the app against Google Play's Developer Program Policies before submission, prepares store listing assets, data safety declarations and metadata, and manages the Play Console release. If Google raises a policy rejection, we diagnose the specific policy and resubmit rather than guessing at a fix.
Can an Android app integrate with our existing systems and APIs?
Yes. Android apps can connect to CRM, ERP, payment, identity and analytics systems through REST or GraphQL APIs, webhooks, or a dedicated integration layer, with secure authentication built around your existing infrastructure.
What support is available after the Android app launches?
Integr8e can provide crash monitoring, Android OS compatibility updates, Google Play metadata and policy management, performance improvement and feature development after launch, matched to how actively the app is used.
