Android app development starts with a well-defined goal and an awareness of device variation. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user flows early, the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

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