Developing an Android app starts with a defined objective and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user journeys early keeps the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

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