Android represents the majority of the global smartphone market — making it the right platform for apps targeting broad consumer audiences, emerging markets or device diversity. Building for Android well requires experience with the fragmented device landscape. Barquecon's Android team writes modern Kotlin with Jetpack architecture components that handle device variations gracefully.
