Android app development starts with a clear product goal and awareness of device diversity. Defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining core user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is in place, focus shifts to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting make the app easier to maintain and iterate after the Google Play launch.
