Android app development starts with a clear product goal and an awareness of device variety. Defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining essential user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is in place, attention turns to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and reliable analytics/crash reporting make the app easier to support and iterate on after the Google Play release.
