Starting Android app development involves a clear product objective and an awareness of device variety. Defining the MVP, selecting an architecture, and outlining core user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

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