Android app development starts with a well-defined product goal and an awareness of the variety of devices. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is set, emphasis moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after the Google Play launch.
