Build an Android app without coding, using AI

The Android app lives in the same project as the iPhone one. Eqlo writes native screens, tabs, and a signed file for Google Play. You run a closed test before the listing is public. The Play developer account stays in your name. Review stays Google.

    A job that survives more than one screen width

    What you need before you start is a loop a member will repeat on a small phone: open a tab, see a list that reflows, tap an action, and land on a loading or error state that still reads. Android is a family of widths. A layout that only works on a large flagship will fold on a cheap device. Write the loop in one sentence, and name the smallest phone your members actually carry.

    A Google Play developer account in your name

    You do not need the account to see the first screens or to test with a QR code. You need it for closed testing and for production. Google bills that account once, not Eqlo. Create it when twelve testers are about to install the build, not the night you type the prompt. The listing, the data-safety form, and the review notes sit on that account.

    A data-safety form that matches the code

    Play asks what you collect, whether it is required, and whether it is sold. The answers must match the project. Eqlo lists the permissions the app actually calls: camera, location, push, or none. You still own the sentences, because you know what you store. A form copied from another listing is a common first delay.

What the store requires that the other does not

Apple will review a binary you have mostly tested yourself. Play wants a trail of testers first. The two stores are two programmes.

A closed test with real testers

Google Play expects a closed test before you ask for production. That is not a box you skip. Eqlo gives you a test build you can hand to twelve people. Collect the crashes and the confusing tab there, not after a listing is public.

A structured data-safety declaration

Play wants a form, not only a privacy policy URL. Fill it from what the app does. Eqlo will not invent a collection you never asked for. If the project never stores an email, do not tick email.

A content rating questionnaire

IARC questions sit in the Play Console. Answer them for the audience you actually have. A kids club and a trade tool are not the same form. Apple has an age rating too, but Play is the store that blocks production until this questionnaire is done.

From the test to the signed file

A complete mobile app is about a day of back and forth after the first draft, which lands in two to five minutes. Closed testing is part of that day, not a later surprise.

Install the QR preview on two widths

Open the project, show the QR code, and install the test build on a small phone and on a larger one. The link lasts 24 hours. Tablets can share the phone screens at first. A dedicated tablet layout is a later sentence, not a launch requirement.

Correct one screen at a time

Select the element and write the change in English. Each exchange creates a version you can restore. If a list truncates on the small phone, say so in the chat. In-place text edits skip the chat when only a label is wrong.

Ask Eqlo for the signed Android package

Signed store builds sit on Plus at $19 a month and on Team at $49, with three and ten seats. Free keeps phone testing only. You upload the file in Play Console, run the closed test, then ask for production. Content updates later do not go back through store review.

The most common rejections and how to avoid them

Skipping the closed test

Play will usually stop you. Treat twelve testers as part of the build. They find the tab you cannot see on your own phone.

A data-safety form that lies

Ticking a collection you do not do, or hiding one you do, both fail. Read the permission list Eqlo shows, then fill the form from that list.

A layout that only works on one phone

Walk a cheap device before you call it done. If a button falls under the navigation bar, fix it in the project. Device catalog honesty matters: if you drop old Android versions, say so on the listing.

A login the tester cannot use

Closed testers need the same courtesy as an Apple reviewer. Leave a demo account. Confirm it still opens after your last correction.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Android app a copy of the iPhone one?

It is the same project. Navigation and permissions stay native on each side. You do not maintain two products. You do submit two packages.

How much is a Play developer account?

Google bills that invoice on its own site. The amount is not an Eqlo fee. You create the account when closed testing is about to start, not on the first evening.

Can I skip closed testing?

Play will usually stop you. Treat it as part of the build. Testers find the tab you cannot see on your own phone.

What if I only want Android?

Say so. You can ship one store. The project can still grow an iPhone package later without a rewrite.

Who owns the Play listing?

You do. It sits on your developer account. The code sits in your repository.

Describe the Android app. Run a closed test before the listing is public.
