Beginning with selecting an appropriate platform strategy is essential: native options (Windows/macOS/Linux), cross-platform frameworks, and the distribution approach. A clearly defined MVP and an early prototype help verify workflows, performance requirements, and the overall user experience on real devices.

As the product evolves, reliability, updates, and packaging take center stage. Proper management of file systems, permissions, offline capabilities, and integrations (device APIs, peripherals, enterprise authentication) keeps the app dependable in everyday use, while an update system and crash reporting ease ongoing maintenance.
