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 helps maintain focus for the initial release and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the fundamentals are set, focus turns to UI coherence, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, prudent networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration following the Google Play launch.
