Android app development starts with a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user journeys early ensures the initial launch stays focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

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