Starting with a clear product goal and awareness of device variety, Android app development sets the direction. Defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early help keep the initial release focused and minimize rework as the app scales.

Once the foundation is set, the 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 the Google Play launch.
