Android app development starts with a definite product objective and an awareness of device fragmentation. Defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining core user pathways early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

After the foundation is in place, attention shifts toward UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting make the app easier to support and iterate on after the Google Play release.
