Android app development starts with a clearly defined goal and an awareness of device variety. Defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining core user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app grows.

Once the foundation is in place, the focus shifts to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across operating system versions and screen sizes. Solid state handling, careful networking, and reliable analytics/crash reporting make the app easier to support and iterate on after the Google Play release.
