Launching a desktop app begins with selecting the appropriate platform strategy: native options (Windows/macOS/Linux), cross‑platform tools, and the distribution approach. Defining a solid MVP and an early prototype helps verify workflows, performance requirements, and the overall user experience on real devices.

As the product evolves, reliability, updates, and packaging become essential. Careful management of file systems, permissions, offline functionality, and integrations (device APIs, peripherals, enterprise authentication) contribute to daily stability, while an update system and crash reporting facilitate long‑term maintenance.
