Starting with a well-defined product objective and awareness of device variety, Android app development benefits from outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping key user journeys upfront to keep the initial release focused and minimize later rework as the app expands.

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