According to a recent report from market researcher Vision Mobile, up to 70% of developers choose the Android operating system as the main place for them to release their mobile applications, while with iOS only accounted for 51% of developers' trust and Windows Phone at 28%, even other operating systems like BlackBerry are only 11% and HTML5 is 15%.
The difference does not seem strange when the main purpose of developers coming to Android is to make it easy to make money on this open operating system platform by the rules when through an application almost controlled less closely than Apple's App Store.
However, the report also points to an increasing paradox that is difficult when not only does the Android operating system encounter it, the saturation of mobile applications is growing, it pulls. According to the implications related to the unfair competition and the declining income of developers.
That can be seen through the number of nearly 25% of application developers today do not earn or earn very little money from the application they release. With the Android operating system, the report pointed out that up to 64% of developers earn less than $ 500 per month while this figure for iOS is 50%. However, considering the smaller angle, iOS will still be a safer option because only 33% of developers in this platform earn less than 100 USD / month while Android is 50%, even high more than Windows Phone and BlackBerry.
It is known that the above statistics are collected from over 10,000 developers from 137 countries and territories around the world.
