Creating Android apps starts with a definite product objective and awareness of device variety. Outlining 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 established, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, meticulous networking, and trustworthy analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after the Google Play launch.
