Android Social Networking App Build

I need a complete social networking experience built exclusively for Android. The project starts with user registration (email, phone, or Google sign-in) and moves through profile creation, a scrolling feed for posts, reactions and comments, and one-to-one chat with push notifications. I’d like a modern, Material-designed interface that remains fast on devices running Android 8.0 and up, and the finished package must be Play Store–ready.

Kotlin and Jetpack libraries are my first choice, with Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Storage, Cloud Messaging) powering the back end, although I’m open to comparable solutions if you can explain the benefits.

Deliverables at hand-off:
• Clean, well-commented Android Studio project
• Release-signed AAB/APK suitable for Play Console upload
• Setup & maintenance notes (env keys, build steps, deployment guide)

Acceptance will be based on smooth sign-up/sign-in, posting, commenting, and chat flows working crash-free across at least two physical devices and one emulator, plus a green Play Console pre-launch report.

Please share links or APKs of any Android social apps you’ve shipped and outline your contributions. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right developer.
