    While comparing, I would recommend iOS ofcourse as we all know that iOS is consistent across all Apple devices, and easy to update when a new version comes out. iOS is a more secure operating system.

    Hi Adamwill247 !!

    I feel that the scope of android vs. iOS depends on which region you are in. For example: in the US the number of iOS users is bound to be more than the android users. Whereas, it's the opposite if you go to countries in South Asia.

    But still considering the brand Apple, and the revenue which you can earn after building an app on this platform is higher. So, in monetary terms battle of iOS vs. Android is in favor of iOS. This is the reason that many college graduates are pursuing iOS development training course. I hope my answer was of some help to you.

    You might want to dig a little deeper in the iOS vs Android issue.

      Android has more market share in the USA (over 25 percentage points) and globally.




      And it's not surprise. Think about it
      - how many phone/tablet brands are out there? (many)
      - how many of those brands use iOS?
      - how many use Android

      Add that to the fact that you can get an android phone very cheap compared to an iOS. So, of course, this alone is going to amount to higher market share for Android even in the USA. This is the same reason there are more Windows PCs than Mac in use.

      Almost everyone I know who started with iOS switched to Android either for price or because they got sick of Apple's BS .

      Overall, Apple products will usually always have lower market share because it is a closed brand. Whereas anyone can build and sell an Android device.

      Of course, none of this necessarily means you should start with Android first just because it has higher overall market share whether globally or regionally. You have to do research on the market for your specific type of app. If the market base for your app has a higher percentage of iOS users, well, then you have your answer which you should develop first. No one can truly answer your question in a beneficial manner since we have no idea who your niche market base is and what the market share of iOS vs Android is in that niche market base.

      However, ultimately, like others have said, you'll want your app to be compatible with both OSes because together they make the vast majority of the mobile market and they are neck-in-neck. Even if your market base has a higher percentage of, say, Android users, there are still plenty of iOS users in that market base that you will alienate if you only ever develop for Android. No bueno.

    According to the data, Android users are more, than the iOS users and if you really want your app to become popular and should be used by everyone. Then I think you should go with Android without any second thought.

    I have used both android and ios device. I would more recommend to develop app for android rather than ios.
