Android Social Media App Development

I need a complete Android mobile application that serves as a social media platform. The core task is to turn my concept into a fully functioning app—from setting up the project in Android Studio, through coding the main social features, to packaging a release-ready APK.

At this stage I will provide the feature list, brand assets, and any required APIs; you’ll transform them into clean, well-documented Kotlin or Java code. Expect typical social elements such as user registration, profile pages, a scrolling feed, basic post interactions, and push notifications, but I’m open to your technical guidance on the best architecture and libraries.

Deliverables
• Full Android Studio project with readable, commented source code
• Signed release APK and a debug build for testing
• Brief setup/readme so another developer can compile the app locally

Acceptance criteria
• The APK installs and runs on current Android versions without crashes
• All agreed features operate as specified in the shared requirements document
• Code passes a quick review for structure, naming, and modularity

If you have recent experience shipping social-style apps on Android, your insight on UI/UX decisions, Firebase or another backend, and store-ready compliance will be invaluable.
