    Build & Ship
    a Real Android App
    With AI

    Idea → AI coding → monetization → Play Store → first users — one clear path, even if you've never written a line of code. Learn the concepts, not just copy-paste tricks.

    Written by an Android engineer with 6 years of real industry experience — not someone who just picked up "vibe-coding" from a YouTube or Instagram reel.

    "AI wrote code but I don't know if it's safe to ship."

    "I don't know what to build first."

    "I got stuck at Firebase / Play Console and gave up."

    Everything inside the toolkit

    This is a toolkit, not just a book — you leave with prompts, templates, and a checklist you reuse on every future app.

    One real app (PrepTrack), 151 prompts that build it, and a 31-prompt bonus pack for everything after.

    Practical Android App Building Guide

    A complete idea-to-Play-Store roadmap in Hinglish, 28 chapters across 6 parts, written for people who have never written a line of code.

    151 In-Book AI Prompts

    Every chapter's lesson comes with a real, contextual prompt you can follow along with — no prompt-engineering guesswork.

    Bonus: 31-Prompt Detailed English Pack

    Standalone, plug-and-play prompts for your own app, usable without the book.

    AI Tool Map

    A clear guide to when to use Claude Code, Cursor, Google AI Studio, and Antigravity, so you stop guessing which AI tool to open.

    A Real App Built Chapter by Chapter

    PrepTrack, a student prep-tracking app, built end-to-end inside the book — from empty project to Play Store listing.

    Screen-by-Screen UI Prompt Pack

    Prompts for every screen in a real app: splash, onboarding, home, paywall, settings.

    Market Research Framework

    A step-by-step process to validate an app idea before writing a single line of code.

    Competitor Research Template

    A ready-to-fill feature matrix for analyzing five competitor apps in under an hour.

    Monetization and Pricing Framework

    Freemium, subscription, ads, and hybrid models explained with a real free-vs-premium example.

    RevenueCat Playbook

    Entitlements, offerings, and packages demystified, with a working paywall setup.

    Analytics and Growth Framework

    The funnel, retention, and revenue metrics that actually matter, explained without jargon.

    0 to 1,000 Users Marketing Playbook

    A content system that turns one feature into ten pieces of marketing content.

    Play Store and ASO Checklist

    The exact listing requirements and the top rejection reasons to avoid before submitting.

    Debugging Cheat Sheet

    The most common Android and Firebase errors, what causes them, and the exact prompt to hand your AI tool.

    Security Checklist

    A pre-launch audit prompt that catches hardcoded secrets and unsafe Firestore rules before they ship.

    Production Readiness Score

    A 100-point scorecard to honestly grade an app before hitting publish.

    30-Day Build and Ship Challenge

    A week-by-week execution plan from empty project to live app.

    AI App Builder Tools Directory

    Every tool mentioned in the book, with its real official link, in one place.

    DroidStack Starter Repository

    A production-ready Android project template (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material 3, MVVM + Clean Architecture, Hilt, Room, Coroutines) preconfigured exactly the way this book teaches. Clone it and skip the boilerplate — go straight to building your feature.

    You watch one real app — PrepTrack — get built, cover to cover

    All 28 chapters, grouped into 6 parts, build the same JEE/NEET student prep-tracking app a little further. No theory chapters, no toy examples.

    01

    Think Like a Founder

    Ch 1–4

    Validate the idea, find your differentiator, and set up PrepTrack — the JEE/NEET prep-tracking app — before writing a single AI prompt.

    02

    Master AI-Assisted Development

    Ch 5–11

    Prompt, plan, and build PrepTrack's full UI with an AI coding agent — notifications, analytics and crash reporting wired in.

    03

    Make It a Business

    Ch 12–13

    Choose a monetization model and build a working RevenueCat paywall for PrepTrack.

    04

    Ship It

    Ch 14–19

    Signed release build, debugging, security checklist, and Play Store submission — including how to survive a rejection.

    05

    Grow It

    Ch 20–22

    ASO, a content system, and an analytics dashboard that tracks what actually matters.

    06

    Build a Career Out of This

    Ch 23–28

    Tools directory, 10 more app ideas, portfolio and freelancing, and the 30-Day Build and Ship Challenge.

    This is for you if

    • You're a non-technical builder ready to direct AI, not write code
    • You're an indie hacker who wants a real launch checklist
    • You're a student or side-hustler shipping your first app

    This isn't for you if

    • You're looking for a computer science degree replacement
    • You want a get-rich-quick promise with no work involved
    • You want a course on becoming a professional Android engineer — this is a build-and-ship playbook, not that
    Bonus — included with your purchase

    DroidStack Starter Repository

    Every prompt in this book assumes a specific, clean architecture: Jetpack Compose, MVVM, Hilt, Room, StateFlow. Instead of setting that up by hand, unlock DroidStack — a production-ready Android template that matches the book's stack exactly, includes AI-agent-ready project rules (Claude Code, Antigravity compatible), dark/light Material 3 theming, and pre-configured ProGuard/R8 rules.

    Only for buyers of this ebook — the private repo link unlocks in My Books right after purchase.

    Questions

    The book's 151 prompts are woven into each chapter — they teach you prompting technique in context, alongside PrepTrack, the app built throughout the book. The 31-prompt Prompt Pack is different: standalone, fill-in-the-blank templates you can use on any app, without needing the book open. Think of it this way — the book teaches you to prompt, the Prompt Pack is what you reach for once you're building.

    Yes. The book is written for zero coding background. It teaches you what to tell AI and how to judge its output, not how to write Kotlin by hand.

    Most of the stack — Firebase, Android Studio, the Play Console signup fee, RevenueCat's free tier — is free or near-free to start. The book flags where a real cost exists.

    Android only, by design — one platform done properly instead of two done shallow.

    The book teaches the underlying prompting principles — the CRAFT framework, context files, constraints — not one tool's UI. The approach outlives any single AI product's version changes.

    The book includes a 30-Day Build and Ship Challenge with a week-by-week plan, from empty project to a live Play Store app.

    AI can write the code. This book teaches you everything AI can't.
