Android app development starts with a well-defined goal and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architectural approach, and mapping essential user flows early on keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is in place, attention shifts to a consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state handling, careful networking, and reliable analytics/crash reporting make the app easier to support and iterate on after the store release.
