iOS DEVELOPER VERSUS ANDROID DEVELOPER: WHICH IS BETTER?
iOS and Android are the most dominant platforms in mobile devices. In the United States, the two mobile platforms have an almost equal share of the market, however on the global market, Android is the most dominant; a vast majority of mobile devices use Android operating systems. Android’s popularity has been attributed to the appeal and massive sales of mobile devices using its platform. Many wish they can develop both iOS and Android at the same time, however that would be very costly so they have to choose one to start with.
Most major apps are usually launched on iOS before being developed for Android, and the reason for this is that iOS presents less problems compared to Android when launching apps. However, Android has the advantage of being available to most people on a wide range of devices, but that too presents challenges more so if a developer has limited resources. And though Android is available to a majority of people globally, most of its users still use old versions of it like Android 2.3.x Gingerbread which was released in 2010 and cannot support the best and most interesting Android features. Android developers who develop apps on the newer Android platforms lock out millions of Android users thus cutting on their profit margins. As a novice, you might pick up Android development twice as fast as iOS. With some dedication and concentration, you can create test apps and implement most of the core functionalities that are required for the GQueues app within a week. Within two weeks of reading books and following tutorials, a good developer can comfortably develop apps on Android without relying on any resource to implement any feature. On the other hand, it takes longer for one to be able to start the initial app code base for iOS. One needs to spend a lot of time exploring the intricacies of the Core Data APIs.
The most important consideration before choosing to develop for either iOS or Android should be what is your market and where are you based. In the United States, most iOS users upgrade to the latest Operating system on release but users in Europe and Asia take a bit of time to upgrade. On the part of Android, you’ll need to target Android 4.0 and lower for you to earn higher profits. Then you are set to earn more as an iOS developer than you would developing Android apps, this is because Android users rarely pay for the apps they use. So if you’re motivated by earnings to develop mobile apps, better develop iOS apps as iOS users are known to be more willing to pay for the apps they use. Then Apple still leads in the number of countries that support paid Google play apps, so as an iOS developer you are set to earn more than your Android counterparts. However, there are several avenues for you to earn as an Android developer but it’s a bit hard to be profitable in the initial stages. |
