Starting with a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety, Android app development sets the stage. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is established, focus moves to UI uniformity, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and different screen dimensions. Robust state management, thoughtful networking, and trustworthy analytics/crash monitoring simplify maintenance and iteration after launch on Google Play.
