This document provides an overview comparison of the Android and iOS mobile operating systems. It discusses that Android has an open-source model supported by the Open Handset Alliance while iOS uses Apple's closed-source model. The document outlines the history and timeline of version releases for both Android and iOS. It also summarizes some of the key differences between the two platforms in areas like development environment, hardware choices, and app performance.

13. ANDROID VS IOS COMBINED
SUCCESS
 Android and iOS completely dominate the mobile market, according to new data from
research firm IDC.
 Android owned 70.1 percent of the smartphone OS market in the fourth quarter, on 159.8
million shipments.
 Android's popularity was similarly strong throughout 2012, as the operating system
scored 68.8 percent ownership, on 497.1 million shipments.
 Apple's iOS proved to be a distant second during the fourth quarter and throughout 2012.
 According to IDC, Apple's operating system owned 21 percent of the smartphone market
during the fourth quarter and 18.8 percent on an annual basis.
 Apple shipped 47.8 million smartphones in the fourth quarter and 135.9 million iPhones
in 2012. In 2011,
 Apple fourth-quarter and full-year market share was 23 percent and 18.8 percent,
respectively.

14. ANDROID VS IOS COMBINED
SUCCESS
o The dominance of Android and Apple reached a new watermark in the fourth
quarter
o Finding an Android smartphone for nearly any budget, taste, size, and price was all but
guaranteed during 2012. As a result, Android was rewarded with market-beating growth.“
o People didn’t get satisfied with BLACKBARRY OS and Symbion etc.
o Android's success during 2012 was driven mainly by Samsung
o According to IDC, that company accounted for 42 percent of all Android-based
smartphone shipments during the period

Android OS Vs. Apple iOS – Which is Better for Developers?
Pros and Cons of the Android OS and the Apple iOS

16. DEVELOPING PROGRAMME
 The Android OS uses mainly Java,
 which is the common programming language used by developers. Hence, developing
Android gets that much easier for most developers.
 The iPhone OS uses Apple’s Objective-C language,
 It become easier with the programmer who are already familier with it
16

17. FLEXIBILITY FOR THE DEVELOPER
 Android offers
developers an open
development platforms .
 Allows them the liberty
to use third-party tools
for app development
 Which helps them to
make more productive
apps
 Apple, is pretty
restrictive with their
developer guidelines
 The developer is given a
fixed set of tools
 This would eventually
curb his creative skills to
a large extent.
17

18. Mobile Apps testing
 Android offers an excellent
testing environment for its
developers
 All the testing tools
available are neatly
indexed
 IDE offers a good model of
the source code. This lets
developers test their app
thoroughly and debug
wherever required
 Apple’s Xcode lags far
behind Android’s
standards
18

19. App Approval
 Apple App Store takes 3-
4 weeks for app approval.
 Finicky and place many
restrictions on the app
developer
 The Android Market, on
the other hand, presents
no such stiff resistance to
the developer.
 This makes it very
convenient for the
Android developer.
19

20. Payment Procedure
 iOS developers can earn
70% of the revenue
generated from the sales
of their app
 have to pay an annual fee
of $99 to gain access to
the iPhone SDK
 Android developers only
need to pay a one-time
registration fee of $25
 can earn 70% of revenue
of the sales of their app
 can also feature the same
app in other app
marketplaces too, if they
so wish
20

21. In conclusion, both the Android OS and the Apple iOS have
their own pluses and minuses. Both are equally strong
contenders and are bound to rule the app marketplace with
their own strengths and positives.

 Embedded into the core layer
 Support Sleep mode/ Airline mode
25

26. Memory Management
 Android
 Handles memory management automatically
 Garbage collector destroys the application without active
 May cause performance issues(too many allocations; too large
allocations)

 Developer maintain the count number for each object
 When count number become 0, destroy the object
26

27. Development Environment
