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

Once the base is in place, focus shifts to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting make the app easier to support and iterate after it hits Google Play.
