Starting with a well-defined goal and awareness of device variety, Android app development sets the course. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user flows early, you keep the initial release focused and reduce rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation is in place, focus turns 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 publishing on Google Play.
