Starting with a well-defined product goal and awareness of device variety, Android app development lays the groundwork. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to UI coherence, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, thoughtful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after launch on Google Play.
