Android app development starts with a well-defined goal for the product and awareness of device variety. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early helps maintain focus for the initial release and minimizes rework as the app scales.

Once the groundwork is set, focus moves to a consistent UI, strong performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, thoughtful networking, and dependable analytics and crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after the Google Play launch.
