Starting Android app development requires a well-defined product goal and awareness of variety in devices. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early, the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app scales.

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