Android is easy to demo and hard to ship. The difference between a team that can show a pretty emulator screenshot and a team that can keep an app alive on a mid-range Samsung in Karachi is usually invisible in a sales call — unless you ask the right questions.
Questions worth asking
- 1Do you write native Kotlin, or wrap a web view and call it an app?
- 2Which Android versions and device tiers do you test on?
- 3Who owns the Play Console account and the signing key?
- 4How do you handle background work so the OS does not kill it?
- 5Have you shipped an app that passed Data safety review this year?
- 6What does your first-release scope look like in writing?
Red flags
- A quote without a device-test matrix.
- "We will publish under our account and transfer later."
- No mention of target API level or Play policy.
- A portfolio of apps that are no longer on the store.
A serious Android app development company will also talk about Play Console publishing as part of the engagement, not as an afterthought. If they cannot explain staged rollouts, keep looking.
