Android development services built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
Google Play now requires every new app and update to target Android 16 by the end of August 2026 — and the platform itself is shifting toward on-device intelligence. We build native Android apps with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, reaching for the NDK only when a workload genuinely needs it — headquartered in London with a world-class engineering team in India, delivering for clients across the UK, US, Europe, and Asia for over a decade.
What we build
Android solutions we deliver.
Native Android development built around Kotlin and Jetpack Compose — reaching for the NDK only where a workload genuinely needs it.

Native Android Apps with Kotlin & Jetpack Compose
Compose is now the standard way to build Android UI — declarative, Kotlin-only, and built around smart recomposition that only re-renders what actually changed. We build new apps on it directly rather than defaulting to the older View system.
High-Performance Apps with the NDK
For games, real-time video processing, or heavy computation where every millisecond matters, we write the performance-critical path in C/C++ via the NDK — and keep everything else in Kotlin, rather than reaching for native code by default.
On-Device AI Features
As Android shifts toward built-in intelligence, we integrate on-device ML — smart suggestions, image and text recognition, summarization — using ML Kit and on-device models, where it genuinely improves the product rather than as a checkbox feature.
Google Play Compliance & API Level Migration
Every new app and update must target Android 16 by August 31, 2026, or it becomes invisible to new users on modern devices. We handle target API migrations, deprecated API cleanup, and the Play Console submission process itself.
Offline-First Apps with Room & WorkManager
For apps that need to work reliably without a constant connection, we build local-first data layers with Room and schedule background sync with WorkManager, so the app stays usable and consistent regardless of connectivity.
Legacy Android Modernization
Still running Java and the old View/XML layout system? We modernize toward Kotlin and Jetpack Compose incrementally, screen by screen, rather than forcing a disruptive full rewrite.
Our approach
A decade of Android delivery, led from the UK
Building and shipping complex software since 2013, across 500+ clients in the UK, US, Europe, Japan, the Middle East, and Asia — we’ve already solved most of the classic Android production problems before they cost you time and money. Our London team manages everything client-facing, from discovery through delivery sign-off, while our engineering team in India handles the deep technical build: senior oversight without the cost of a fully Western dev team.

Architecture
Compose by default, the NDK only where it earns its place
We don’t reach for native C/C++ by default just because it sounds faster. Jetpack Compose handles the vast majority of apps well, and the NDK earns its place only where profiling shows a workload — a game, real-time video processing, heavy computation — genuinely needs it. Android (Native) sits alongside iOS as one of five core mobile stacks we actively maintain client apps on, alongside Flutter, Ionic, and React Native for teams that need a cross-platform approach instead.

Governance & process
Compliance-ready architecture and a clear delivery process
The backend behind your app is built by an AWS and Microsoft Azure certified partner, giving direct platform support and deep cloud expertise on every deployment. Target API level requirements, data privacy disclosures, and secure authentication are designed in from the first architecture decision, not patched in right before submission — essential with Google Play now requiring every app to target Android 16 by August 31, 2026. We start with 1–2 weeks of discovery and architecture planning, move into 1–3 weeks of design and prototyping in Figma, build in continuous sprints with Gradle and GitHub Actions and ongoing Compose UI testing, and follow every launch with 90 days of active support covering Play Console submission, crash monitoring, and performance tuning.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What we hear most often about Android projects — Compose vs. the NDK, the Android 16 target requirement, and what happens after launch.
What kinds of Android projects do you take on?
Native apps with Kotlin and Compose, high-performance NDK work for games and real-time processing, on-device AI features, offline-first apps, Play Store compliance and API level migrations, and legacy Android modernization.
Should we use Jetpack Compose or the NDK for our app?
For the large majority of apps, Compose alone is the right answer — faster to build, easier to maintain. The NDK earns its place for genuinely performance-critical work like games or real-time video processing. We’ll tell you honestly which one your app needs.
Is our app affected by the Android 16 target API requirement?
If you haven’t updated your app’s target SDK since the requirement took effect, yes — any new submission or update after August 31, 2026 will be blocked, and existing users on newer devices may eventually lose visibility into your app on the Play Store.
Can you add on-device AI features to our Android app?
Yes. Using ML Kit and on-device models, we can add features like smart suggestions, image recognition, and text summarization without sending user data to a server — where it genuinely adds value, not as a checkbox feature.
Can you modernize our existing Java or View-based Android app?
Yes. We regularly take over existing Android codebases — auditing dependencies and modernizing toward Kotlin and Compose incrementally, screen by screen, rather than recommending an unnecessary full rewrite.
What happens after the app is launched?
We include 90 days of post-launch support covering crash monitoring, bug fixes, and performance tuning. After that, we offer optional retainers for feature development and staying current with Google Play’s annual API level requirements.
Ready to build an Android app that’s compliant and current?
Whether you’re starting fresh or your existing app needs an API level migration before August 2026, start with a conversation. We’ll tell you what’s feasible, what it will take, and what’s actually required.
