In Canberra

Reliable Android apps for staff and customers

Canberra organisations often issue managed Android devices to staff for field checks, events and inspections, while the public uses a mix of phones. Android app developers in Canberra confirm which devices matter, then build with security controls suited to managed fleets.

Kedra Digi works with Canberra organisations remotely from Perth. You get a named contact, a written plan and regular check-ins, and in-person meetings are available when you want them and it makes sense for the project.

  • Works with managed devices
  • Secure storage and sign-in
  • Tested across handsets

Common situations

What Canberra clients usually ask us to solve

Staff apps on managed devices

Organisations that issue managed Android phones need apps that respect device policies, work offline and sign in securely.

Community and association apps

Members use a wide mix of phones. We keep the app light so it runs on older handsets.

Event and venue apps

Event and venue apps must show programs, maps and notifications in crowded venues where mobile signal is weak. We design them to load quickly and work offline.

What's included

What comes with this service.

The essentials of the service, plus the standards that come with everything we do. No hidden extras.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
Do you build for older Android phones?
Yes, to the level that matches your customers' devices, based on the numbers for your audience.
Will you handle Google Play?
Yes, including the listing, policies and updates, so you do not have to learn the console alone.
Can you track crashes?
Yes, from launch, so problems are caught quickly and fixed before reviews suffer.
Do you build for tablets?
Yes, with layouts designed for larger screens, so the app looks right on tablets.
Can you modernise an old app?
Yes, starting with a review of the code, then fixing the most important problems first.
Do you support the app afterwards?
Yes, with updates for each Android release, so the app keeps running smoothly.
Can an Android app be distributed privately to staff?
Yes. It can be distributed through a managed Google Play account or your device management system, without appearing in the public store.
How do you handle security in an Android app?
Secure storage, encrypted connections, careful permission requests and regular dependency updates, with a review against your organisation's standards.
Which Android versions do you support?
We choose a minimum version from current usage and your audience, balancing reach against the extra testing older versions need.
What does Google require before an app can be published?
A developer account, an accurate store listing, a privacy policy and data declarations, and testing requirements for new accounts. We prepare these with you.
