Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product objective and awareness of variability across devices. Establishing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early keeps the initial release targeted and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility with different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration following the Google Play launch.
