Frequently Asked Questions
The development timeline depends on the complexity, features, and design requirements of the app. A basic native Android app can take a few weeks, while feature-rich applications may require several months. At Malgo, the process begins with a detailed requirement analysis to provide a clear project roadmap and estimated delivery schedule.
Since native Android apps are built specifically using Java or Kotlin for the Android platform, they are not directly compatible with iOS. However, the core logic, design assets, and API strategies can often be reused. Adapting the app for iOS will require separate development using Swift or Objective-C to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
Native development offers direct access to Android’s built-in security features like encrypted storage, secure APIs, and biometric authentication. Developers can implement fine-grained permissions, secure networking protocols (like HTTPS and SSL pinning), and regular security updates. This approach reduces vulnerabilities and protects user data effectively.
Yes, native Android development is suitable for a wide range of applications, Whether simple utility apps or complex enterprise solutions. It is particularly effective for applications requiring high performance, deep device integration, or customized UI/UX. However, the final decision depends on the target audience, feature scope, and scalability requirements.
Updates are managed through version-controlled development and regular release cycles. Features are typically added incrementally to avoid disruptions. Once updates are tested for stability and performance, they’re rolled out via the Google Play Store. Ongoing collaboration between the business team and developers ensures the app stays aligned with evolving goals.
