Android App Development

AIGard builds native Android apps that perform well across the wide range of Android devices. We cover design, build, back end, testing and Play Store release.

The work typically covers:

• Native Android development in Kotlin
• UI built to Material Design guidelines
• API and back-end integration
• Device and OS version compatibility
• Automated testing
• Play Store submission and updates

Android App Development is usually the right investment in one or more of these situations:

• Your audience is primarily on Android
• You need deep device or hardware integration
• An existing Android app needs modernizing
• You're deploying to managed company devices

On a 30-minute scoping call we confirm whether it fits your case and recommend a team shape and first milestones.

AIGard handles the variety of Android devices by defining a supported device and OS matrix with you and testing against it.

The matrix makes compatibility an explicit decision instead of an assumption. It reflects the devices and OS versions your audience uses, including managed company devices where relevant, and it gives our automated testing a clear target across the range you have chosen to support.

Yes, AIGard builds for both Android and iOS, either as two native apps or as one cross-platform app.

The choice depends on your product. Two native apps suit products that need deep device or hardware integration on each platform, while a cross-platform app covers both from a single build. We discuss the options during scoping and set out a recommendation in the written proposal.

It depends on the product. Native development suits applications that depend on device capabilities or performance; cross-platform suits teams that need both platforms quickly from one codebase.

We recommend an approach after reviewing your users, feature set and roadmap, and staff engineers for the platforms your product runs on.

Yes. Product designers work in the same team as the engineers, so research, interface design and build are coordinated.

Designs are tested against real constraints early, which avoids rework late in delivery.

For Android App Development, AIGard engineers typically work with Kotlin, GraphQL, Node.js, Python and Google Cloud.

The stack is selected to fit the systems you already run, and engineers are matched to it before they join.

Android App Development is available through any of AIGard’s three engagement models: staff augmentation, where engineers join your team; a dedicated team that runs the workstream; or software outsourcing, where AIGard delivers a defined project.

The choice depends on how much of the delivery you want to manage, and it can change later under the same agreement.

Engineers typically start within two to four weeks of the scoping call. The exact date depends on the roles, seniority and number of people required.

We confirm a realistic start date in writing before you commit, and you meet the proposed engineers before work begins.

AIGard engineers typically cost 30–50% less than the fully loaded cost of a comparable US-based hire, with no recruiting fees, benefits overhead or insurance costs on your side.

The figure for a specific engagement depends on the model, the roles, the seniority mix and the size of the team. We issue a written proposal after the scoping call, so the commercial terms are agreed before any work starts.

NDAs are signed before any access is given, and engineers work inside your environment under least-privilege access, with permissions limited to their responsibilities.

Access is reviewed as roles change and removed when work ends. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA, with PII masking, encryption and audit logging built into data work. We review your access policies, data-handling needs and vendor requirements during scoping.

You do. Intellectual property assignment is written into every contract, in every engagement model.

That covers source code, designs, documentation, data, models and prompts produced for you. Third-party components and their licenses are identified, so ownership is clear at handover.
