Android App Development

Keeping older Android apps compliant

Google Play regularly raises the minimum target SDK level. Apps that are not updated stop appearing to new users on recent devices. We update older apps, including Cordova and PhoneGap apps, so they meet current Play requirements. See mobile app development for migration options.

FAQ

Android App Development questions, answered.

Ask an engineer
Native Android or Flutter?
Flutter suits most business apps that also need iOS. Native Kotlin suits apps relying on advanced device features, heavy graphics or Android-only distribution.
Can you update my app for the latest Play Store requirements?
Yes. We update the target SDK, libraries and permissions, fix compatibility issues and resubmit the app.
Do you build apps for Android tablets and rugged devices?
Yes. We design layouts for tablets and build apps for rugged and kiosk devices used by field teams.
How much does it cost to develop an Android app?
Android app cost is driven by the number of screens and user roles, device features such as Bluetooth or offline sync, back-end integrations and whether you also need iOS. Vibidsoft does not bill hours: a fixed-price assessment (from $1,500) defines scope, then the app is built as milestone projects paid on acceptance, or by an outcome pod from $4,000/month for ongoing product work.
How long does it take to build and publish an Android app?
A first version of a business Android app typically takes three to five months, including design, development, testing on real devices and Play Store release. Newer personal developer accounts on Google Play must also run a closed test with real testers before publishing to production, so we plan that step into the schedule rather than leaving it to launch week.
Why was my Android app removed or restricted on Google Play?
Most removals and update blocks come from an outdated target API level, a missing or inaccurate data safety form, sensitive permissions without a valid declaration, or policy changes the app was not updated for. Google raises the target API requirement every year. We review the Play Console notices, updates the code and declarations, and resubmits the app under your own account.
Can Vibidsoft rescue an Android app another developer left unfinished?
Yes. Vibidsoft starts with a code and architecture review, gets the project building again with current Android tools and libraries, fixes critical crashes and security issues, then continues development. For apps in poor shape, our Modernize & Rescue engagement (from $5,000) stabilises the app and gives you a clear plan for what to keep, refactor or rebuild.
Is Kotlin Multiplatform a good alternative to Flutter?
Kotlin Multiplatform suits teams that already have a native Kotlin Android app and want to share business logic with iOS while keeping native interfaces on each platform. Flutter suits new apps where one shared codebase for both logic and interface keeps cost and timelines lower. We recommend one or the other after looking at your existing code, team and feature list.
