Phone Application Development
Introduction
Mobile application development is growing at a rapid pace. It is because of the shift in
consumer preferences and the growing need to find efficient solutions to particular problems
from different sectors, which include retail, telecommunications, business, government,
healthcare, among other sectors. Mobile devices, currently, is an essential tool that enables
people to connect to the internet. Mobile application development is the process which involves
developing applications that can be used in mobile phones (Goyal, Bhatheja & Ahuja, 2016). It
includes writing software for wireless and small computing devices. Just like web application
development, mobile application development takes the concept of traditional software
development, but the difference is that mobile software is written to accommodate features that
are offered by the mobile device. However, mobile development is dependent on the platform.
This paper is a discussion between android application development and iOS application
development.
Android Application Development versus iOS Application Development
Android is currently owned by Google. At first, Android positioned as one of the
platforms, which were budget friendly and more accessible than iOS. In 2009, there were
versions which were released that could compete with iOS in all aspects receiving support from
mobile phone giants which include HTC, Samsung and Motorola (Goyal, Bhatheja & Ahuja,
2016). The platform is based on Linux core and is powered by Google’s services such as
YouTube, Gmail, Translate, and Maps, among other Google services. Android platform is an
open source, which means that the device can be customized by the user to fit his/ her

powerful back-end support, and it incorporates third-party applications, middleware apps, and
multimedia.
The users have control of their devices because of the unique security model offered by the
platform. Google, also, has control over the OS security, which allows the developers to design
and develop Android ap...
