    To prevent compatibility issues from affecting end-users when developing mobile applications, I follow these best practices: Cross-Device & Cross-OS Testing – I test the app on multiple devices, screen sizes, and operating system versions (iOS & Android) to ensure smooth performance. Use Responsive & Adaptive UI Design – I implement flexible layouts that adjust to different screen resolutions and aspect ratios.
