Nice PickUse Android when targeting a broad global market with diverse hardware, such as budget devices in emerging economies, or when deep system integration like custom launchers is needed
Pros
- +Do not use it for applications requiring strict performance consistency across devices, like high-frame-rate gaming, due to fragmentation
- +Related to: kotlin, java
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Apple Platforms
Developers should learn Apple Platforms to build native applications for Apple's extensive user base, which includes over 1 billion active devices worldwide
