1. IOS AND ANDROID APP
DEVOLOPMENT
Building mobile apps for two major platforms
2. Introduction
Mobile app development has become an
indispensable part of our digital landscape,
revolutionizing the way we interact with
technology and each other. In this presentation,
we will delve into the exciting world of iOS and
Android app development, exploring the
nuances, challenges, and opportunities that come
with creating mobile applications for two of the
most prominent platforms in the world.
3. Mobile
app
platforms
Android: Android held the largest market share globally. It was
estimated that Android accounted for over 70% of the global
mobile operating system market share. This is due to the wide
variety of Android devices available from different
manufacturers and its open-source nature.
iOS: iOS, the operating system for Apple's iPhones and iPads,
held the remaining market share. iOS had a strong presence,
particularly in regions like North America and Europe. In these
regions, iOS often captured around 30% of the market share.
Please note that these figures are based on data available up to
September 2021, and the market share can fluctuate over time
due to various factors such as device releases, regional
preferences, and market dynamics. It's essential to consult up-to-
date sources, such as market research reports or industry news,
for the most current mobile app platform market share data.
4. Advantages for devoloping ios
Lucrative Market: iOS users often
have higher disposable income, making
them more willing to pay for apps and
in-app purchases. This can lead to
potentially higher revenue for
developers.
Unified Ecosystem: Apple's
ecosystem is tightly controlled,
resulting in a consistent user
experience across devices. Developers
can target a limited range of devices,
making testing and optimization more
manageable.
Swift Programming Language: iOS
development primarily uses Swift, a
modern and efficient programming
language. It offers safety features,
performance optimization, and ease of
use, making development faster and
less error-prone.
Frequent Updates: Apple regularly
updates its operating system,
encouraging users to keep their devices
up to date. This means developers can
utilize the latest features and
technologies.
High-Quality User Base: iOS users
are often more engaged and loyal,
leading to higher user retention rates.
This can be beneficial for apps that
rely on a consistent user base.
Stringent App Review: While it can
be a challenge, Apple's strict app
review process ensures a higher level
of quality and security for iOS apps.
This can boost user trust.
5. Advantages for devoloping android
Wide Market Reach: Android
boasts a significantly larger
global market share than iOS,
making it an attractive platform
for reaching a broader audience.
It's popular in emerging markets
as well.
Device Diversity: Android runs
on a wide range of devices from
various manufacturers, including
smartphones, tablets, smart TVs,
and more. This diversity can be
advantageous for app versatility.
Open Source: Android is an
open-source platform, offering
flexibility and customization
options for developers. This
allows for more creativity in app
design and functionality.
Java/Kotlin Language:
Android development primarily
uses Java (or Kotlin), languages
known for their versatility and
large developer communities.
This facilitates development and
debugging.
Less Stringent App Review:
Google Play Store's app review
process is generally less strict
than Apple's, resulting in quicker
app approval and updates.
Integration with Google
Services: Developers can easily
integrate their apps with Google
services, such as Maps, Drive,
and Firebase, enhancing the
functionality and user
experience.
Adaptive UI: Android offers
tools like Material Design to
create adaptive and visually
appealing user interfaces across a
variety of screen sizes and
resolutions.
In-App Customization:
Android allows for deeper
customization of the user
interface and behavior, giving
developers more control over
the app's look and feel
6. Native app devolopment
iOS: Native app development
for iOS involves using Apple's
official development tools and
languages, primarily Swift and
Objective-C. Xcode is the preferred
Integrated Development
Environment (IDE).
Android: For Android
native development, Java and Kotlin
are the primary
programming languages. Android
Studio is the recommended IDE.
Advantages:
High Performance: Native
apps typically offer the
best performance
7. Hybrid
• Frameworks: In hybrid app development, developers use web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript along with frameworks like Apache
Cordova (formerly PhoneGap), Ionic, or React Native.
• Advantages:
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Hybrid apps can run on both iOS and Android, reducing development time and cost.
• Single Codebase: Developers can write a single codebase that works on multiple platforms, making maintenance easier.
• Faster Development: Using web technologies and pre-built components can speed up development.
