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

Once the foundation is set, focus shifts to consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics and crash reporting help sustain the app and streamline updates after it hits Google Play.
