Is Meta Android worth it? The Crydd Verdict
CS 83Choose it if
You want to build Android apps and prefer a structured, paced path from no experience.
Consider alternatives if
You want to build for iPhone: Meta's iOS Developer Certificate follows the same structure with Swift. For cross-platform work only, the React Native courses are the core of both.
Why we say so
Kotlin and Jetpack are what Android teams use today, and the programme ends with portfolio work; published apps still matter more than the certificate.
Market demand
Android roles are steady, with Kotlin now the default; employers look for apps on Google Play or in a portfolio.
