What you get
What’s included in Android app development
App design
Screens and flows that follow Android's design guidelines.
Build
A native or cross-platform app, tested on the devices your users have.
Back end & APIs
Accounts, data and notifications connected to your systems.
Google Play release
Store listing, release tracks and policy compliance.
Updates
New Android versions, bug fixes and features after launch.
Tools we use: Kotlin, React Native, Expo, Firebase, Node.js.
Choosing
Should you choose native or cross-platform development?
A native Android app built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose suits an Android-first product, particularly when it needs to communicate with printers, scanners, payment terminals or kiosks. It is also an option for work that runs in the background for long periods. Start with the tasks the app must perform and the hardware it must use, so the platform choice follows the work.
We also build cross-platform apps. In either case, we test the app on devices your users have. Before choosing the oldest Android version to support, check the versions your customers use through website analytics or a short survey. Supporting a wider range gives you more reach to consider, alongside the additional work involved in supporting older versions.
Market
What do app users in Saudi Arabia need?
Your users’ devices and working conditions should shape the app. Customers on budget Android handsets need an app that stays small and usable on slow networks. For logistics and field-service work, the useful functions might be scanning, proof of delivery, signatures and offline job lists on rugged devices.
Retail and hospitality teams also use Android tablets for point-of-sale screens, ordering kiosks and queue displays. Some organisations issue low-cost phones to staff for attendance, inspections or sales orders. Tell us which tasks belong on which devices; that gives the screen design and device testing a practical starting point.
Rules
What does checkout need to handle?
If customers need to pay online with mada cards, we connect the checkout to your systems and set it up for the 3D Secure payment flow supported for mada e-commerce payments. Identify the goods or services sold in the app before the checkout is designed. Google Play billing applies to digital goods and subscriptions sold in an app; it must not be used for physical goods or services such as groceries, transport or event tickets. We use that distinction when planning the payment flow.
How it runs
How an Android app project runs with us
We work remotely through video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India time is 2h30m ahead, so the shared board gives you a place to review work and leave feedback across that difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, audience and goals, then agree the scope with you. Bring the tasks you want the app to support and the people who will use it.
- 02
Design
We prepare screens and flows that follow Android’s design guidelines. You review the designs and give feedback before the build proceeds.
- 03
Test
We use Google Play’s testing tracks to share builds. Internal testing supports early checks, closed testing reaches invited users, and open testing lets people join from the store.
- 04
Release
We prepare the store listing, manage release tracks and keep the app within Google Play policy. You help review how the app is presented to its users.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather the following details before setting up your organisation’s release and testing work.
- Your D-U-N-S number and organisation name, address, phone number and website for the Google Play organisation account.
- A shared support email address and phone number, since Google Play displays these to users.
- A list of phones and tablets your customers or staff use, informed by analytics or a short survey.
- Your privacy policy and a list of personal data the app will collect and share.
- Details of data collected by any third-party SDKs, for the Google Play Data safety form.
- Reusable reviewer sign-in details, if the app has a login. They must work from any location and skip one-time codes.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timing of development?
The scope changes both the amount of work and how that work is organised.
Hardware connections
Printers, scanners, payment terminals and NFC add SDK work and testing with physical units.
Background work
Location tracking and large syncs need extra engineering because Android limits what apps can do in the background.
Screen formats
Tablet, foldable and kiosk layouts add design and testing beyond the phone layout.
Platform choice
An Android-only build is smaller at the outset, while an iPhone app later needs a separate effort; cross-platform development covers both from the start.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with Android app development
Testing on an emulator or a single brand
Include real devices from different manufacturers. Battery-saving settings on some phones can delay background tasks and notifications.
Asking for notifications immediately
On Android 13 and later, users must allow them. Ask when the benefit is clear, such as after an order.
Requesting unnecessary permissions
Ask for each permission when someone first uses the feature that needs it. Extra requests can put users off and raise review questions.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Saudi Arabia
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to develop an Android app?
There is no fixed price. The device range, support for older Android versions and the backend and admin work all affect the scope. Testing low-memory phones adds work, while a known fleet of company devices narrows the range to test. Agree the scope before requesting a quote.
How do I choose an app development company?
Choose a team that can explain how its Android screens will work across the devices your users have. Ask how it handles the system back gesture, navigation and larger font settings, and how tablet or foldable layouts adapt to wider screens instead of stretching a phone layout.
Can an app be available only to our staff?
Yes. An app for your organisation’s own staff can be published privately through managed Google Play, so only your organisation can install it. Discuss this release option when defining who needs access; it gives you a route for an internal app without making it available to everyone through the public store.
Who owns the app code and developer account?
You own your code, content and domain, with no lock-in. Keep the Google Play developer account and upload key under your business’s control, and give more than one administrator access. Losing access to the developer account can stop you from issuing updates.
What support does the app need after launch?
We handle updates for new Android versions, bug fixes and new features. Plan regular maintenance releases: Google Play requires a recent target Android API level, and an outdated app can become unavailable to new users on newer devices. Android vitals in Play Console also tracks crashes and freezes.
Does an app with user accounts need a deletion option?
Yes. If your Google Play app lets people create accounts, it needs an in-app route to delete the account and its data. It also needs a web link where someone can request deletion. Include both routes when defining the account screens and the information the app holds.
