Android app studio, working remotely

Brightlane Digital

We build one Android app at a time — and the download page that actually gets it installed.

  • Kotlin & Compose
  • Play Store launches
  • Multi-language builds

What we actually do

The Android app itself

Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, one codebase, a signed App Bundle you own. Offline states, permissions and back-button behaviour handled before the first release, not after the first one-star review.

Multi-language versions

Strings extracted properly, translated, and re-tested at length — German breaks buttons that English never does. Store listing and landing page ship in the same set of languages.

A listing that survives review

Data safety form, content rating questionnaire, target API level, screenshots and feature graphic. We prepare the whole submission so the app clears review instead of bouncing.

A ten-second download page

Hero image preloaded, everything below it lazy, no heavy embeds. The install button is plain text on our own button style — no third-party store badge artwork anywhere.

Consent before any tag fires

An EU cookie banner in the page's own language, wired so analytics and ad pixels stay dormant until the visitor accepts. Privacy, terms and cookie pages linked from the footer.

Numbers that reconcile

Landing-page events on one side, Play Console installs on the other, and a plain read of where the gap is: wrong audience, slow page, or a listing that promises something the app does not do.

One app, taken seriously

Most studios sell you hours. Brightlane Digital works the other way round: we take a single Android app and carry it from empty repository to something a stranger installs on a bus, decides about in ten seconds, and keeps.

That means the work does not stop at the build. An app with no listing is a file. A listing with no page behind it is a search result nobody clicks. So the same team writes the Kotlin, fills in the data safety declaration, cuts the screenshots, and ships the download page — because every one of those things is a place the install can be lost, and they are easier to fix when one team can see all four at once.

We are an independent studio. Android and Google Play are Google's trademarks; we publish to the Play Store like any other developer, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

What you can ask us for

Ask for one of these by name, or for the whole run from repo to rollout.

Android build

The app itself, from first screen to a signed release bundle in your own Play Console account.

  • Kotlin + Jetpack Compose codebase
  • Offline and error states designed, not bolted on
  • Signed App Bundle, keystore handed to you
  • Repository and CI you keep access to
Most requested

Play Store launch pack

Everything Google asks for before an app goes public, prepared and submitted together.

  • Listing title, short and full description
  • Screenshots and feature graphic
  • Data safety form and content rating
  • Internal testing track, then staged rollout

Download landing page

The page the ad points at: one screen, one decision, one plain-text install button.

  • Preloaded hero, lazy everything else
  • EU cookie consent gating all tags
  • OG and Twitter card set from real screenshots
  • Privacy, terms and cookie pages linked

Language versions

The app, the listing and the page in another language — all three, or the install rate does not move.

  • Translated string resources, re-tested in layout
  • Localised store listing per market
  • Landing page per language with hreflang alternates
  • Right-to-left layout check where it applies

Scope and cost are quoted per project after a first call — we do not publish rate cards, because nobody's app is a standard size.

How a project runs

  1. Scope call

    You describe the app in plain words. We come back with what it takes to build, what we would cut from version one, and where the install decision will be won or lost.

  2. Build in the open

    Short cycles with a working APK at the end of each one. You install it on your own phone rather than reading a status report.

  3. Internal testing track

    The release goes to a closed tester list first — real devices, real Android versions, the crash log watched before anyone outside sees it.

  4. Submission and staged rollout

    Listing, data safety and rating go in together. Release opens to a small percentage of users and widens once the crash-free rate holds.

  5. Page, ads, measurement

    The download page goes live with consent-gated tags, traffic starts, and we read installs against page events weekly to see what to change first.

What you end up holding

At the end of a project you are not renting anything from us. You hold the repository and the build pipeline, the signing key, a published listing in your own developer account, the translated string files, and the landing page source with its consent logic intact.

Practically, that means three things:

If that is the version of a handover you want, the next step is one message describing the app.
