iOS vs Android developer demand

After comparing some leading features of iOS and Android development, on one hand iOS may seem like a better option for a beginner without much prior development experience. But if you do have prior desktop or web development experience, I would recommend learning Android development .

It’s faster, easier, and cheaper to develop for iOS – some estimates put development time at 30-40% longer for Android. One reason why iOS is easier to develop for is the code. Android apps are generally written in Java, a language that involves writing more code than Swift, Apple’s official programming language.

Worldwide mobile app revenue in 2020 – $111 billion. … Indian mobile app developer average salary is $4k / year. iOS app developer salary highest in the US is $120k / year. Android app developer salary highest in the US is $121k / year.

There are many reasons why developers tend to prefer iOS over Android with a commonly suggested one being that iOS users are more likely to spend on apps than Android users. However, the locked down user base is a far more basic and important reason from the developer perspective.
