Android app development starts with a well-defined product objective and awareness of device diversity. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early keeps the initial release targeted and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

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