Starting with a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety, Android app development sets the stage. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user journeys early, the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is established, focus moves to consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and display sizes. Robust state management, efficient networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after launching on Google Play.
