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

Once the foundation is set, focus shifts to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics and crash reporting make ongoing maintenance and iteration easier after the Google Play launch.
