HOW WE USE IT
Kotlin / Jetpack Compose in our stack
We write native Android applications in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose — Google's current recommendation for Android UI. Our Android apps use clean MVVM architecture, proper dependency injection, and are tested across device matrices via Firebase Test Lab.
CAPABILITIES
What we deliver
- Kotlin 2.0 with coroutines and Flow
- Jetpack Compose declarative UI
- MVVM + Repository + Hilt architecture
- TensorFlow Lite on-device AI inference
- Room database and DataStore
- Firebase Test Lab device matrix testing

Native Kotlin gives you full access to the Android platform — Jetpack Compose for modern declarative UI, WorkManager for reliable background tasks, Android-specific APIs (NFC, BLE, Camera2), and the best battery and performance profile. For Android-first products where platform depth, hardware integration, or enterprise MDM integration matter, native Kotlin is the right choice. React Native and Flutter are better when cross-platform parity and a shared codebase are the priority.
A production Kotlin Android app uses Jetpack Compose for UI, Kotlin Coroutines and Flow for async operations, Hilt for dependency injection, Room for local persistence, Retrofit for API calls, the Android Keystore for secure storage, and JUnit with Espresso for testing. We follow Clean Architecture or MVVM patterns and automate release builds with GitHub Actions and Play Store deployment via Fastlane.
A production Android app with authentication, core features, and backend integration typically takes 10-16 weeks. Apps requiring hardware integration (BLE, NFC, camera) or TensorFlow Lite on-device AI add 4-6 weeks. Google Play submission and review adds 1-3 days for new apps. We deliver weekly builds via Firebase App Distribution for continuous testing.
