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

Once the foundation is set, focus shifts to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify supporting and iterating the app after its Google Play launch.
