  • Understand SDK (Software Development Kits), emulators, extensions and their better alternatives.
  • Resources required for implementing a particular kind of functionality.
  • Code maintenance, integration and syncing - SCM like GitHub or BitBucket.

  • A legal developer guideline self-check before publishing or deploying the app.
  • Opening official developer account and going through payment procedures.
  • App maintenance - interacting with user review and re-iterating on the scope for improvements.


    Additional steps:
  • App monetisation - ads, in-app purchases and premium app versions.
  • Design improvements as per the newest available UX in the market.
  • Performance improvements from user feedback.
  • Scaling and expansion to other platforms or devices.



    Note: I've not provided you with links because learning resources are widespread and their effectiveness may vary from person to person.
    Also, I'd like you to get more aggressive about power searching of the web - a skill that is the foundation stone of any innovative developer.

    Additional point: For a long term sustainability and support, prefer native development over hybrid development.
