Mobile & PWA
Android
Android is Google's open source mobile operating system, the most widely used smartphone platform in the world, with native apps typically built in Kotlin using Jetpack Compose.
What Android development involves
Native Android apps are built primarily in Kotlin, with Jetpack Compose as the modern declarative UI toolkit and Android Studio as the standard IDE. The platform spans phones, tablets, foldables, watches, TVs, and cars, and apps are distributed mainly through Google Play. Android's openness also supports enterprise device management, custom hardware, and alternative distribution, which makes it common in logistics, retail, and field-service scenarios. Cross-platform frameworks like Flutter and React Native target Android too, compiling down to apps that run on the same platform services.
Why it matters for business software
Android's global market share makes it unavoidable for consumer products, and in many regions it is the dominant or only practical platform. For enterprises, Android powers rugged scanners, kiosks, point-of-sale devices, and fleets of managed handsets, so line-of-business apps frequently target it exclusively. Device diversity is the main engineering challenge: apps must handle many screen sizes, OS versions, and hardware capabilities, which makes disciplined testing and a well-chosen minimum supported version important for keeping quality high and support costs down.
