Android app development starts with a definite product objective and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early keeps the initial launch focused and minimizes rework as the app scales.

Once the foundation is set, focus 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 rollout.
