The trendiest platforms of today’s time are Android and iPhone. most mobile apps are produced for these two platforms. Developers working for these operating systems also remain happy and smoothly execute their mobile application development projects. When developers completely get involved with these environments, they also note that both have few twists. Then they start a comparison that always remains unconcluded. most of the blogs, articles, etc. available for reasoning out a comparison go to an unknown direction.
But confusions can be cleared by understanding the foundations of both platforms. for any type of iPhone application development, the language used is Objective-C. it is entirely based on C and includes numerous extensions with interfaces, dynamic typing, messages and so forth. on the other hand, Android application development takes place around Java. Experts often say that Java is a total no-brainer programming tool. This is the main reason why many developers advocate iPhone app development. they discover that iPhone development is extra thrilling in comparison of Android application development.
When they choose Android, they always fear of that their special functionalities will be discovered by other developers because of the open nature of the OS. Other developers can easily tweak Android apps. it is also very easy and simple to download the source code of an Android app. but this is not possible with iOS and iPhone development. it is hard to discover the special functionalities and source code in applications built for iOS.
Applications for iOS also remain trendy. The platform is extra helpful with simple user interface as it based on a planned pattern. The coding patterns can be planned in better way. for the same reasons, Android appears to be little complex as it supports various processes concurrently. both operating systems support user-friendly set of XML.
But both platforms have many similarities. they have similarity on profiler, debugger, IDE, UI and code builder. there is no obvious reason for choosing one and leaving another as both have disadvantages too.
Most iOS-powered devices are sophisticated and not in the reach of every user. they are also expensive. but Android devices are available at all price-ranges. if you have a reasonable budget, you can easily buy Android powered a phone or tablet.
Both platforms have recorded terrific growth in terms of popularity and revenue. it depends on the choice of developers or clients they are working for. but one thing is clear-the comparison is still unconcluded, because both operating systems have qualities better than one another.
