iOS first, or only?

Worldwide market share of ~15%

42% of US marketGenerates 85% more revenue for developers than AndroidTargets premier consumersDominates tablet and corporate marketsClosed ecosystem, tight controls, restricted hardware, limited licensing

Android first, or only?

Worldwide market share of ~80%

52% of US marketTargets all consumers with range of devicesMulti-user profiles, education/school featuresOpen ecosystem, limited controls, flexible hardware, broader licensingDevice variations, additional testing, more Android versions

Both, at the same time

Broadest reachHighest revenue opportunitiesHighest cost

Efficient development & testing required

Tailored interfacesMore design, testing, cost

WEB APPS & MOBILE-OPTIMIZED SITES

Great for occasional / one-time accessNot easy to replicate native UI/UXPerformance is typically poorNetwork connectivity typically requiredFew options for meaningful local data storageLimited access to device hardwareLimited security

Go Native

As much as possible, it’s a good idea to use the standard UI elements that UIKit provides.- iOS Human Interface Guidelines
