Android app development starts with a well-defined goal and an awareness of the variety of devices. Stating the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the base is established, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state handling, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify support and iteration after the Google Play launch.
