Android App Development Company in Dubai - Native Kotlin and Java Apps for UAE Businesses

Cost depends on scope: native or cross-platform build, feature set, payment integrations, backend and admin panel requirements, and language support. Crafixx scopes every project in detail and provides a fixed-price quote before development starts.

Yes. We build native Android apps (Kotlin, using the Android SDK) and cross-platform solutions using Flutter or React Native. For most UAE businesses, Flutter delivers near-native performance at a significantly lower cost than a separate native build.

Timeline depends on scope: an MVP, a full-featured app with payments and admin panel, and an enterprise build each carry different schedules. We provide a fixed timeline at project kickoff and maintain it through milestone-based delivery.

Yes. Play Store optimization and submission are included. We handle the developer accounts, app metadata, screenshots, age ratings, privacy manifests, and in-app purchase compliance. The review process is managed on your behalf.

Yes. Multi-language apps with direction-aware layouts are standard. We handle script-appropriate typography, navigation, and content management, tested on real Android devices in each locale. All language versions receive equal development attention.

Yes. We integrate PayTabs, Telr, Stripe, and Google Pay into mobile apps for UAE businesses. All integrations are tested against sandbox and live environments before Google Play submission. We also support Careem Pay and other regional payment options on request. We cover fintech app solutions, e-commerce app development, and retail payment flows for UAE businesses.

Native apps (Kotlin) offer the best performance and deepest OS integration but require a dedicated Android build. Cross-platform apps (Flutter, React Native) share one codebase across iOS and Android, delivering near-native performance at lower cost and faster delivery. Understanding the native vs cross-platform trade-offs is key. For most business apps, cross-platform is the right choice.

Yes. Backend coding and API development, database design, admin panel, Firebase integration for push notifications, real-time integrations with third-party services, and full API documentation are included in every mobile app project. We can also integrate with your existing backend systems or third-party APIs as part of the scope.

Yes. UAE PASS is the UAE government’s official digital identity platform, integrating it lets users authenticate using their verified UAE national identity, removing registration friction for UAE residents. It is particularly valuable for apps in government services, fintech, real estate, and healthcare. We handle the UAE PASS SDK integration, API registration with the ICA, and compliance documentation.

App strategy and discovery comes first. An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) app, shaped by UI UX design research, includes only the core features needed to validate your product with real users, no extras, no feature creep. Build an MVP when you need to test a concept before committing a full development budget, when you are raising investment and need a working demo, or when speed to market matters more than feature completeness. Crafixx MVP builds are scoped with a fixed quote and launch on Android via Flutter or native Kotlin.

Mobile apps require ongoing maintenance to stay live: Android OS updates can break existing features; Google Play policy changes require updates to privacy manifests and permissions; payment SDKs (PayTabs, Telr, Stripe) release breaking changes; and user-reported bugs need fixing in production. Crafixx app maintenance and support packages cover OS compatibility updates, SDK upgrades, security patches, user analytics and crash reporting, performance monitoring, and ongoing feature additions. Without active maintenance, most apps begin failing within 12–18 months of launch.

App Store Optimisation (ASO) is the process of improving your app’s visibility and download conversion rate within Google Play. It covers: app title and subtitle keyword placement, description keyword density, screenshots and preview videos (the primary install conversion driver), ratings management, and localised store listings for UAE audiences. In the UAE, where mobile app usage is among the highest globally. ASO is the difference between organic growth and full dependence on paid advertising. Crafixx includes full ASO setup with every submission: multi-language keyword research, store listing copy, and custom screenshot design for the Play Store listing.

Yes. We build mobile apps that communicate with IoT devices and wearables via BLE, Wi-Fi, and MQTT protocols. Common UAE use cases include smart building apps, industrial monitoring for logistics, fitness apps, healthcare app solutions requiring real-time patient biometric data, and device compatibility testing across hardware brands. IoT-connected apps need a cloud infrastructure layer, typically AWS IoT Core, Firebase Realtime Database, or a custom MQTT broker. IoT projects are scoped separately as they require hardware specification review before app architecture is finalised.

Agile methodology breaks a mobile app project into two-week sprints, each delivering a tested set of working features through app testing and QA, instead of a waterfall model where you only see the finished product at the end. Our agile process covers full-cycle product development: sprint planning, build, QA testing, client review, and retrospective, with a shared project board and weekly status calls. You see a live demo every two weeks and can redirect priorities before they become expensive decisions. Agile consistently delivers faster time-to-market and fewer costly rebuild cycles, particularly for UAE apps with payment flows, real-time features, or multiple user roles>

App security and encryption measures include: HTTPS/TLS for all data in transit; secure keychain/keystore storage for tokens and credentials (never plain-text); JWT authentication with refresh-token rotation and biometric authentication support (Face ID, fingerprint); rate-limited and authenticated API endpoints; and OWASP Mobile Top 10 checks in QA. For UAE apps collecting personal data, we build PDPL compliance (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021): data minimisation, user consent flows, data subject access, and deletion capabilities built from the start.

Native or cross-platform app built to the approved UX design. Tested on real Android devices before submission.

Node.js, Laravel, or Firebase backend with well-documented REST APIs. Designed to scale from day one and handle real production load.

Web-based admin dashboard for managing users, content, orders, or app data, so your team has full visibility and control without touching the code.

Full multi-language app with direction-aware layouts, script-appropriate typography, and bidirectional text, tested on real Android devices in each locale.

PayTabs, Telr, Stripe, and Google Pay, configured and tested in sandbox and live environments before Google Play submission.

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for Android, configured, tested, and documented so your team can send targeted push notifications from the admin panel.

Tested on physical Android devices (Android 12, 13, 14). All user flows, payment flows, language layouts, push notifications, and edge cases verified. QA sign-off required before submission.

App metadata, screenshots, descriptions, age ratings, and compliance handled. We submit and manage the full Google Play review process from first submission to live.
