Android app development starts with a clear product goal and an awareness of device variety. Defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping core user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app scales.

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