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

Once the foundation is established, the focus shifts to a consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify support and iteration after the Google Play launch.
