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

Once the groundwork is in place, attention turns to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Reliable state management, well-planned networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting make the app easier to support and iterate on after the Google Play release.
