How to Build a Fitness Android App targets Google Play and the Android long tail—lower ARPU than iOS in the US but essential for global and emerging markets. Play Store policies differ from Apple: know them before scoping.
Android MVP Decisions
React Native + Expo ships both stores from one codebase when iOS follows within months. Native Kotlin when Android-only or heavy Google integrations.
- Play Console setup + closed testing track
- Google Play billing for digital goods
- Target API level requirements (update annually)
- Privacy policy and data safety form mandatory
Cost & Timeline
Android-only or cross-platform MVP: $3,460–$20,000 fixed scope, 21 days–6 weeks typical.
- Play review often faster than App Store
- Device fragmentation = more QA time
Common Rejection Fixes
Metadata, permissions, and billing misconfiguration cause most delays.
- Overbroad location permissions
- Missing privacy policy link
- Billing library version outdated
