Creating an Android app starts with a well-defined product goal and awareness of device variety. Pinpointing the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

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