Offline-first Android launch checklist

A practical list to run through before you ship an Android app that has to work without a connection.

Who it's for

• →Founders shipping their first offline-first Android app
• →Engineering leads deciding whether their product needs a server at all
• →Android engineers building or reviewing a sync engine

What's inside

• →Getting the local data model and its defaults right before launch
• →Giving records an identity before the server has one, and syncing them safely
• →Ordering uploads so the server never holds incomplete data
• →Designing conflicts away, and telling users when they can't be
• →Keeping sensitive data safe and your Play Store declarations honest
• →Release engineering: R8 rules, staged rollouts and CI you don't have to babysit
