A layout for every screen size
The layout rearranges itself for small phones, large phones, foldables and tablets, upright or on their side.
Android app development
An Android app that works on the phones your customers own.
Android runs on small phones, large phones and tablets, on system versions released years apart. We build one app that fits all of them, with the server and sign-in behind it, and take it through Google Play’s testing and review.
Why Android is its own job
No Android version is on even one device in five.
Google gives developers its version figures through Android Studio, the tool Android apps are made with. In the set last updated in December 2025, the most common version is Android 15, on 19.3% of devices, and about 42% run Android 12 or older.
Your customers are spread across all of them, on screens from a small phone to a tablet. Google Play is likely to show an app less on any phone model where it crashes for 8% of daily users.

12testers for 14 days: Google’s closed test for new personal accounts
The account sets the calendar
Google Play has two kinds of developer account, and each has its own wait before launch. The 14-day test is written for personal accounts. A business registers as an organization, and needs a D-U-N-S number first.
We help you open the right one in your business’s name early, and plan the launch date around its wait.
What you’d get
One app, fitted to many phones.
An agreed oldest version
We set the oldest Android version the app supports with you before work starts, and write it into the scope.
Sensible on a weak signal
Screens show what the phone already has, and the app says plainly when something is waiting to send.
Test builds on your own phone
You and your staff install real builds through Google Play’s internal testing as we go.
Google Play, handled
We do the listing, the screenshots, the Data safety form, the testing tracks and the review.
The iPhone app from the same code
One codebase, so the iPhone version is the same project and not a second one.
The part nobody sees
The screens are what your customers see. What keeps the app installable and trusted is in this list, and none of it shows on a phone. See what it takes ›
- A server and database that hold the real data
- A signing key that proves each update is yours
- The Data safety form and privacy policy, kept accurate
- A rebuild for Google Play’s required version each year

Before you ask
How long does it take to get an app onto Google Play?
It depends on the developer account. A personal account created after November 13, 2023 must first run a closed test with at least 12 testers opted in for 14 days in a row, then apply for production access, which Google says usually takes seven days or less. Separately, Google says app review can take up to seven days, or longer in exceptional cases, for certain accounts. We plan the launch date around whichever applies to you.
Which Android phones and versions will it work on?
We agree the oldest supported version with you before work starts and write it into the scope. In Google’s figures, last updated in December 2025, Android 9 and newer covers about 95% of devices. The layout rearranges itself for small phones, large phones and tablets, and it is tested across phone sizes and on an older version as well as the newest.
Do I need my own Google Play developer account?
Yes, in your business’s name, and we help you open it. Google charges a one-time US$25 registration fee. A business registers as an organization, and Google asks for its D-U-N-S number, a nine-digit business identifier that Dun & Bradstreet issues for free. Getting one can take up to 30 days, so we sort it out early. You own the account and the app in it.
Will there be an iPhone version?
When you want one. We build Android and iPhone apps from one codebase, using a tool called React Native, so the iPhone version is the same project with its own store submission.
What happens when a new version of Android comes out?
Google Play keeps raising the Android version that apps must be built for. Since August 31, 2026, new apps and updates must be built for Android 16. An existing app must be built for Android 15 or higher to stay available to new users whose phones run a newer Android than it was built for. Monthly maintenance covers this, or you can ask us when it’s needed.
