Starting with a well-defined objective and awareness of device variety, Android app development sets the stage. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architectural approach, and mapping essential user journeys early keeps the initial launch focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is established, the focus moves to consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iterations after the Google Play release.
