FLAGSHIP SERVICE

Google Play Compliance Rescue

Google raises its minimum Android target version every August. Apps that fall behind are hidden from new users on current phones and blocked from publishing updates — silently. We bring your existing app back to full compliance, publish it under your own developer account, and hand you before/after proof.

Standard

€490

fixed, ~1 week

Java/Kotlin app, buildable source provided. Target-SDK update, UI & permission fixes, full test pass, republish + proof.

Plus

€890

fixed, 1–2 weeks

Hybrid apps (Flutter / React Native) or light dependency surgery on aging libraries.

Annual Upkeep

€190/yr

existing clients

Every August the bar rises again. We re-audit, update and republish before the deadline — you never think about it.

How it works

Free 2-minute compliance report. Reply to our email or write to us — we audit your app's exact status against Google's current requirements. No call, no commitment.

Fixed quote, fixed scope. If the source code and signing access check out, you get one price and one deadline. 50% upfront, 50% on publish.

Published & proven. The update ships under your own Google Play account — you keep code, keys and ownership of everything. We hand over before/after compliance proof.

Also under the roof

App maintenance

Ongoing care for Android apps: dependency updates, crash fixes, policy compliance, store listing hygiene.

Dashboards & data

SQL pipelines, BI dashboards and reporting rescue — built or repaired, fixed-price.

Automation

The boring work your team does by hand, scripted and scheduled. Quotes per project.

Don't take our word for it

Everything we flag is independently verifiable in about a minute — we'd rather you check than trust:

Read Google's own policy. The target-API requirement and what happens to non-compliant apps is published by Google here: Target API level requirements.

Check your own app. Open your app's Google Play page and look at About this app → App info → Updated on. If the last update is older than ~18 months, your app is at or past the visibility cliff.

Try it on a new phone. Search for your app from a recent Android device you've never installed it on. If it doesn't appear — that's the problem we fix.

Honest answers

Do we keep ownership of the app?: Completely. Work happens under your Google Play developer account; code, keystore and listing stay yours. We never hold your assets.
What if we lost the source code?: The fixed price requires buildable source. If it's lost, we'll tell you honestly what a rebuild would involve — no pressure either way.
Why is it so much cheaper than an agency?: No office, no account managers, no markup — one senior engineer with a very specific specialty and a repeatable process.
Who are you?: Vidra Labs is run by a senior software engineer with a decade of production experience in data-heavy industries. Vidra is Serbian for otter — small, fast, fixes things with its hands.
