What Are Important Things to Consider When Designing for Both Android?

What are important things to consider when designing for both Android and iOS?

It actually depends on what your goal is, although iOS development is much more complicated, it is far more rewarding than android. Piracy is really low on iOS compared to android, few years back iOS developers made 5x money of what android developers make. Also since there are a lot of devices for android you wont be able to focus on just one, literally so many devices run android and I don't think a guy who buys a cheap android phone(no offence to anyone) will spend his money on your app if he can get it for free. But if you want to upload your app quickly then android is what you should choose. My advice will be to focus on iOS and don't be in a hurry to upload your apps , take your time and give your best to whichever platform you choose. Also programming on iOS isn't that tough if you love programming. For me the more complicated it gets while programming more enjoyable it is. However, their standards are pretty complicated and your app might get rejected for the first time and t might ask you to perform some changes(remove some functionalities maybe)if it exploits their terms.

All the Numbers, All in One Place | TIME.com This will answer your question very nicely, it involves everything you need to compare for choosing one platform(only looking at the pie charts will be enough, no need to actually read anything). EDIT . There is also a major drawback for iOS, you cannot test your app until you are part of their developer program. Well, legally.(which is you will have to pay them 99$).
