One thing this article fails to mention is the wide range of Android devices which makes testing harder. It is much easier to test and launch an iOS app vs Android app.

BTW, SendHub is hiring! We are looking for iOS/Android developers

Bullshit. I'm an Android dev and unless you're dealing with low-level hardware stuff, this is not an issue. I've done both high level stuff and low level stuff, so I've seen the difference.

And even if you are doing low-level hardware stuff (like you might for some intensive games), there's nothing stopping you from targeting a handful of the most popular Android devices and then expanding from there. You can restrict which devices your app will show up for on the Play Store.
