Android app development starts with a well-defined product goal and an awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping core user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, attention turns to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Solid state management, thoughtful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after launch on Google Play.
