Yes, some apps still release for iOS first, but the lure of Android's large market share may be causing devs who were going iOS-only to rethink and consider an Android app too. One way to interpret this is by saying that devs are still in the iOS-first mentality, but I think the narrative has shifted a little over the years. First of all, as shown in the graph at the top of the page, it's clear that more apps are going cross-platform from iOS to Android than the other way around. The answers are all very interesting in their own right, but a few of them caught our attention.

We don't usually cover infographics and comparisons on Android Police - most are biased, pointless, or without much credibility - but this latest data set from appfigures made us stop and do a double-take because it presented interesting stats from a rather reputable app analytics company.Īppfigures' report looked at 10 different questions regarding the Play Store and App Store and tried to answer them with stats pulled from its Explorer app research tool.
