Android app development starts with a well-defined goal and an awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app scales.

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 practices, and dependable analytics/crash reporting help support and iterate the app more easily after it goes live on Google Play.
