Android app development starts with a well-defined product goal and awareness of device diversity. By defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early, the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

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/crash reporting simplify support and iteration after launching on Google Play.
