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

Once the foundation is set, focus shifts to UI coherence, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting ease maintenance and allow smoother iteration after the Google Play launch.
