Android app development starts with a well-defined product goal and awareness of device variety. Clarifying the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user journeys early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app scales.

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 make the app easier to support and iterate on after the Google Play rollout.
