Kickstarting Android app development requires a clear product objective and an awareness of device variety. Defining the MVP, selecting an architecture, and outlining core user flows early helps keep the initial release focused and minimizes rework as the app evolves.

Once the groundwork is established, the emphasis shifts to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across different OS versions and screen sizes. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting make the app easier to maintain and iterate after it goes live on Google Play.
