Interesting, I always thought it would be harder to hire iOS devs since the initial cost is higher - you need to buy a more expensive Apple computer and pay an yearly $99 subscription just to get started.

For that reason I thought that there would be way more Android devs. After all, a teenager with a regular computer can start developing Android apps and download the APK in a cheap Android device without paying anything.

On the other hand you mentioned _experienced_ native Android devs, while my thought applies more to junior Android devs, and maybe the two things don't correlate as well as expected.

you don't need a mac to build ios apps.
