Developing an Android app starts with a well-defined goal and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation exists, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after releasing on Google Play.
