Why are iOS apps bigger than Android?

To successfully create an iOS app using Swift, developers are reportedly required to stuff the app with numerous libraries and runtime libraries . These “numerous libraries” according to Smith, makes iOS apps heavier.

According to the Worldwide Screen Resolution Stats (Jan 2020 – Jan 2021), the most commonly used resolutions across mobile, desktop, and tablet are: 1920×1080 (8.89%) 1366×768 (8.44%) 360×640 (7.28%)

large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp . normal screens are at least 470dp x 320dp. small screens are at least 426dp x 320dp.

Android recommends your starting app size to be 864×864 pixels because it will make it easier to tweak the design if need be. However, the majority of devices will use 36×36, 48×48, 72×72, or 96×96 pixels. (Note that Android app icons must be saved as PNG files, not JPEG).

Of all mobile apps published on the app stores, the average Android app file size is 11.5MB . And the average iOS app file size is 34.3MB. But these figures include mobile apps that have a release date in the distant past.21 Şub 2017
