Successful Android app development starts with a clear product goal 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 in place, focus shifts to consistent UI, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, reliable networking, and solid analytics/crash reporting simplify support and iteration after launch on Google Play.
