Porting done properly, not pasted over
You can't literally copy an iOS app to Android — the platforms use different languages, UI systems, and conventions. Bringing your app to Android means rebuilding the front end for Android while preserving your product's logic, features, and identity.
A good Android version respects Android's patterns instead of transplanting iOS ones. Navigation, back behavior, share sheets, permissions, and typography all differ. We reproduce what your app does, then make it feel native to the people who'll actually use it on Android.
- Native Android build in Kotlin (or Flutter, if you want one shared codebase going forward)
- Feature parity with your iOS app, mapped screen by screen
- Android-native navigation, back handling, permissions, and system integrations
- Your branding, tone, and UX intent carried over — not a pixel-for-pixel iOS copy
- Reuse of your existing backend and APIs wherever possible
What we look at before we start
The size of the job depends heavily on how your iOS app is built. If it already talks to a clean backend API, much of that carries straight over and we're mainly rebuilding the client. If business logic is tangled into the iOS UI, there's more to untangle.
We also flag anything iOS-specific that needs an Android equivalent — Sign in with Apple, Apple Pay, iOS-only SDKs, push notifications — and map each to its Android counterpart (Google sign-in, Google Pay, Firebase Cloud Messaging) so nothing gets silently dropped.
- Audit of your iOS app, backend, and where the business logic lives
- Map iOS-only pieces (Apple Pay, Sign in with Apple, push) to Android equivalents
- Reuse the existing API; identify anything that needs Android-specific backend work
- Plan for Android's device and screen-size diversity, unlike iOS's narrower range
- Decision on native vs. a shared cross-platform codebase for future maintenance

Frequently asked questions
Can you just reuse my iOS code on Android?
Not directly — iOS (Swift/Objective-C) and Android don't share a runtime. Your backend and APIs carry over, and the product design carries over, but the app itself is rebuilt for Android. If you'd like a single shared codebase for future changes, we can discuss Flutter or Kotlin Multiplatform.
Will the Android version look identical to my iPhone app?
It'll be recognizably the same product with the same brand, but it should follow Android conventions where they differ from iOS. Forcing an exact iOS look onto Android usually feels off to Android users. We keep your identity while making it feel native.
How long does it take?
It depends on your app's complexity and how cleanly its logic is separated from the iOS UI. After a short review of your app and backend we can give you a realistic scope. Start with a free consultation and, if you can, share access to the existing app.
