Android app development starts with a clear product objective and an awareness of device variety. Defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping out key user flows early helps keep the initial release focused 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 sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting make the app easier to support and iterate after it goes live on Google Play.
