Theoretically yes, but you will need to ensure the following:

- You will need to install the Clover SDK into your project
- You will need to go through the Developer approval process
- You will need to go through the App approval processes (all apps have to be installed via the Clover Market)
- Your app does not rely on any Google Play Services (e.g. push notifications)
- Your app does not require disabled device services (e.g. an email client)

The fundamentals of the Clover devices run Android and you can very much use all or most of your Android App on Clover, but often you will need to build a separate flavour to ensure platform specific idiosyncarsities are adhered to.

All of this is for very good reason, because these devices handle payment card information and must be PCI compliant (like a lot of tablet based POS devices are not), from a security perspective there are some hoops that must be jumped through.
