Android app development for startups
Most early-stage teams need Android in the store, not a separate Kotlin team on day one. I ship Android (and usually iOS) through React Native — the same approach behind SwecoRide and MealApp — and I will tell you plainly when true native work is the better call.

Who it's for
- Startups that need Google Play presence alongside iOS without doubling engineering cost
- Founders validating mobile with one shared codebase before hiring platform specialists
- US, UK, AU, and Canada teams that want a single remote owner for mobile + API
Core features for version one
- React Native app structured for Android release on Google Play
- Shared navigation, auth, and API client patterns with your web backend
- Push notifications and deep links scoped to your MVP needs
- Store listing assets guidance (screenshots and copy are yours; build is mine)
- Crash-aware builds with staging builds for internal testing
- Clear documentation on what is React Native vs what would need native modules later
Recommended stack
- React Native
- Expo or bare workflow (project-dependent)
- Node.js / NestJS APIs
- Firebase or your push provider
Typical timeline
TODO(owner): confirm typical timeline ranges for React Native MVP builds based on recent quotes.
Risks to plan for
- Expecting pixel-perfect native Android Material behavior everywhere in v1
- Underestimating store review and signing setup the first time you ship
- Building mobile before the API contracts are stable, then rewriting both sides
- Assuming React Native covers a heavy native SDK without a spike first

FAQ
Do you write Kotlin or Java for Android?
Primary delivery is React Native for shared Android and iOS. Native Kotlin/Java is not positioned as a specialty — if you need deep native-only Android, say so in the brief and we can scope honestly.
Can you ship to Google Play?
Yes — release builds, signing setup guidance, and store submission support for standard React Native apps. You retain the developer account.
What does a startup mobile MVP cost?
A focused React Native MVP with auth and core flows commonly starts in the full-stack band from $2,999+. Marketplaces, realtime, or payments usually move toward $4,999+.
Is there proof on Android specifically?
SwecoRide and MealApp are live React Native products used on real devices — review /work/swecoride and /work/mealapp before hiring.
