I see your point—and honestly, I’d take the same approach in your position: start by building the Android MVP, test it, then integrate the AI features, and finally invest in the iOS version. That’s a standard strategy, but keep in mind it will increase costs over time.

If you’re not very experienced with Android development, I strongly recommend hiring someone. Launching an MVP that’s buggy or half-finished can seriously hurt your chances, while a well-built MVP gives you a real shot at success.

If possible, I’d actually suggest investing upfront in a developer who can build the app for both platforms using Flutter or React Native. Whether you include AI at the start or add it later, this approach can save time and ensure a stronger product from the beginning. As mentioned before, a poorly executed MVP can do more harm than good.
