| > quality apps on the Play store After 10+ years of making apps, the discussion with new clients is still the same here (EU/USA) every time: Client: we want an app Me: iOS or Android or both? Client: both Me: Ok, which one first? Client: iOS, I have an iPhone 13 Pro max, make it work on that! ... app designed and built in close co-op with the client Me: What do you think? Client: Great! Publish it! Let me put it on my phone! Me: shall we do the Android design? On which phone types should it work; premium or also mid or budget? Client: Who cares, just do something and publish it whenever. Here is money, Bye! |
On iOS we inevitably made anywhere from 2x to 10x the amount of money through IAPs. No matter how good or fast the Android app was, no matter how many good reviews, no matter if we saw 2x or 3x or 4x as many installs on Android.
If our clients wanted to actually profit, the answer was clear: do iOS first, and then decide whether an Android version is even necessary.
