What is this programme?
The Mobile App Development Fundamentals Certificate from ecertificate.pro is a self-paced online program covering how iOS and Android apps are structured, how screens are connected into a navigation graph, how data is stored on the device, how runtime permissions are requested and refused, and how a signed build is published to the App Store and Google Play. It takes roughly 24 hours of study and finishes with an assessment plus a short applied task, after which the certificate is issued to your private panel on ecertificate.pro — it is never sent as an email attachment. Each certificate carries a unique verification code that is queried only in the ecertificate.pro database; no other organization holds a record of it. ecertificate.pro is an independent education provider that has operated since 2016, so the certificate is not government approved, not officially accredited, grants no license or professional title, and does not guarantee employment. It is best used as documented evidence of structured self-study alongside a portfolio of apps you have genuinely built and shipped.
Who it is for
Junior developers moving from web or desktop work into mobile, computer science and bootcamp students preparing for a first mobile role, and backend engineers who need to understand what the app side actually requires. Product managers and QA testers who must reason about permissions, offline behavior and store review timelines will get the most from modules 5, 6 and 7, and designers who hand screens off to mobile teams will find the navigation and layout material directly useful.
What you will be able to do
- Choose among native, cross-platform and web delivery for a given product brief, and defend the choice in a written decision record covering device API reach, team skills and release speed.
- Model an app as a screen graph — stack pushes, tab roots, modal sheets, nested graphs — and implement deep links that open the correct screen from a URL on both platforms.
- Build layouts that hold up across safe areas and display cutouts, maximum dynamic type, dark mode, right-to-left mirroring, landscape and tablet widths, not only on the one simulator you develop against.
- Select the right local storage mechanism per data type: key-value preferences, a relational store through Room or Core Data, plain files in the correct directory, and Keychain or Android Keystore for tokens.
- Write a schema migration for a database that already exists on installed devices, so an update does not wipe or corrupt user data.
- Implement a runtime permission cycle that explains the reason in context, survives a permanent refusal, and matches the iOS purpose strings, Android manifest entries and store privacy forms.
- Produce a signed IPA and Android App Bundle, complete App Store Connect and Play Console listing and privacy fields, and run a staged rollout with a defined halt threshold and hotfix path.

How it works
Learning format
Self-paced written material, downloaded from your dashboard. No fixed schedule and no live sessions — you work through it when it suits you.
Material delivery
Everything appears in your dashboard as soon as your payment is confirmed. Files are served only to your signed-in session.
Prerequisites
You should be comfortable with one general-purpose programming language — JavaScript, Kotlin, Swift, Java, Dart or Python all work — and with basic Git usage. No prior mobile experience is assumed. A Mac is needed only if you want to build and run the iOS examples yourself; Android tooling runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Free developer accounts cover the local build and on-device testing work, while TestFlight distribution and an actual store submission require a paid Apple Developer or Google Play developer account.
Completion
Work through the eight modules at your own pace, then pass a multiple-choice assessment plus a short applied task: submit a screen-flow diagram and a storage and permission plan for an app idea of your own. A pass releases the certificate to your private panel on ecertificate.pro, where you can download it together with its unique verification code.
Your certificate
Once your completion is confirmed, we prepare your certificate and upload it to your dashboard, normally within 24–48 hours. You receive an e-mail as soon as it is there — you never have to chase it.
Refunds
Because the material is delivered digitally and immediately, purchases are non-refundable once the files have been made available to your account. The full terms are in our Refund Policy.
