Developing Android apps starts with a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety. Outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early ensures the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the foundation exists, focus shifts to a cohesive UI, performance, and ensuring compatibility across different OS versions and display resolutions. Robust state management, meticulous networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify ongoing maintenance and iteration after the Google Play launch.
