- What can be included in the scope?
- Agreed Android flows, backend integration, device coverage, Play submission preparation, and release instructions.
- What affects the cost?
- Target platforms, custom interfaces, offline behaviour, device features, backend APIs, and testing coverage affect the estimate. Clarify store-account fees, cloud services, and maintenance across OS updates.
- How will we agree a realistic timeline?
- Scope backend work, device testing, privacy disclosures, and submission preparation as well as development. App-store review is an external dependency, so submission and public availability are separate milestones.
- What should we agree about ownership and handover?
- Agree source-code access, developer-account ownership, signing credentials, backend access, release instructions, and support for future OS versions. IP and third-party licence terms belong in the contract.
