How to Build a Manufacturing 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Billing library version outdated
