Android app development starts with a clear product goal and an awareness of device variety. Defining the minimum viable product, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is established, focus shifts to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics and crash reporting make the app easier to support and iterate after its Google Play launch.
