Starting Android app development involves establishing a precise product objective and considering the variety of devices. By defining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and outlining key user flows at the outset, the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

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