I’m considering making an existing mobile app into an open-source project. It has an Android and iPhone version.
While I have used open-source projects and submitted feature requests and bug reports, I have never created an open-source project nor contributed with a patch to an existing one.
What are the top things that I should take into account before opening the source of my project? What specific steps do you recommend taking for open-sourcing a mobile app?
You are lucky as when I started to run open source projects I did not realize this great book exists,

It provides general tips in almost all aspects of running an open source project, and you can add your own for mobile world.
