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

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