Developing an app is a very difficult and challenging task which is increasing rapidly with the growth of smart phones among the users in the market. In this article we will understand the differences between the Android Developers India and the IOS operating system users.
According to a statistics survey conducted in 2018, the Smartphone users across the globe were termed nearly at 2.53 billion and were expected to cross a mark of 5 billion in 2019. Where Apple released its first IOS official version in 2007, Google started its first version in 2011 and since then both have created many updates over the years.
The Android Developers India, have therefore seen a slow and sturdy cover up over their fortune with the augmentation and growth of the Apple market. Not only have the Android Developers in India, but across the globe marked the increasing users of IOS users. In Spite of the high ranging price values, the quality of IOS is marked to be on fleek.
- The development language:
Java is the development language used in the Android based apps which require a lot of coding, whereas Swift is a very new language which is designed to develop the IOS based applications. The coding used in Swift is much faster in comparison to Java. Swift was first seen in the applications in 2014.
Java has an alternative language as well which is known as Kotlin coding language which is correlated with Java. Java usually is known for its intuitiveness and is quite easy to read but Kotlin is basically considered to be the actual main language used in building Android powered applications.
- Development of the speed:
Android based smart phones are less time consuming and also are slow in terms of having the OS fragmentation. It usually takes about 30-40% longer for the engineers to build an Android Smartphone in comparison to the IOS Smartphone. Despite the language not being so complex, Android application Smartphone require more developing time.
- Cost of development:
The cost of development usually depends upon the requirement and the needs of the business. The companies usually first take an appropriate decision related to the platform and then choose their development team accordingly by fixing up a rough cost estimate.
One should also keep in mind that an app development cost mainly depends on the time it takes to be made, the higher the time higher it will cost. Usually for IOS app development you need to pay about $100 per year but for Google store it can be a onetime fee of $25. Both also can at time cost the same but it revolves around the time factor.
Conclusion
If your company is a start up then IOS will be the best place to begin with as it attracts more influencers and PR, but if your users are based in the emerging markets, then you can start with the Android powered applications as it will be easier for you to visit the app stores more often. There cannot be a straightforward answer as to which one is better than the other as it depends on each of the app owners to analyze their needs.
