In today’s digitized era, mobile application development has become the need of each and every online business in the world. If you are looking for mobile app development services, the question that arises is which platform is more apt for you, and has better opportunities in fields like development, design, usage, security, and upgrades.
Here’s a brief comparison between Android and iOS mobile app development that helps you in choosing the appropriate platform for your mobile application.
· Coding: The language used for coding in Android is Java, whereas in iOS it is Objective-C or Swift. Swift has already become a leading open source language which presents great opportunities for developers. In comparison, Java is a little more tough to get your head around.
· Integrated Development Environment: IDE is a tool used to develop mobile applications. Android used to perform application development with Eclipse IDE using the Android development toolkit. However, it has gradually shifted to Android Studio which provides many more ways of improving the development process. As for Apple, the iOS giant makes use of Xcode for conducting the process. Nowadays, as a thumb rule, there are 2 development tools suggested by Google and Apple - Android Studio and Xcode.
· Flexibility in Distribution Platforms: It is relatively easy for Android app developers to update the app according to the reviews provided by the users on Google Play. iOS app developers, on the other hand, have to wait for 2 weeks when it comes to making changes in the application that have been uploaded on the Apple App Store. Android users can update an application every two hours while iOS users have to wait for two weeks to fix the problem. This brings us to the conclusion that Google Play provides more flexibility for development as compared to Apple Store.
· Revenue Generation: Despite a huge difference in market share between Android and iOS, the latter tends to produce 75% more revenue than Play Store. If you are looking to get an iOS app developed, this news is certainly going to make you happy.
· Entrance Fees: You have to pay some amount of money to upload your app to a digital distribution platform. In the case of Google Play Store, you need to pay a fees of $25 to be registered, whereas Apple demands $99.
Conclusion
In our opinion, it totally makes sense to have an Android mobile app for your business as there are much more Android users in the world than there are iOS users. However, if your budget permits it, getting the same app developed on both platforms means that your app can be used by each and every person in the market, irrespective of whether they are Android or iOS users.
