Starting Android app development involves establishing a well-defined product objective and acknowledging the variety of devices. By outlining the MVP, choosing a suitable architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early, the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, focus turns to a cohesive UI, performance, and cross-version and cross-device compatibility. Robust state management, efficient networking, and dependable analytics and crash reporting simplify maintenance and iterations after launching on Google Play.
