Department Pros & Cons Details

PROS FOR ANDROID DEVDELOPMENT

• Open system. Android is naturally open to more of the inner workings of the system. This accessibility helps developers to create and apply features that would probably be restricted by iOS.
• Flexibility. With its open-source software, Android offers developers a low barrier to entry. Developers can utilize various crowdsourcing frameworks and plugins and play around with the features and functionality, which makes the platform more flexible than iOS. However, this significantly complicates the development process.

• Design. Google’s extensive developer guidelines to design are pretty helpful in building an aesthetically appealing layout and intuitive Android user interface.
• Release. In contrast to iOS, publishing apps is easier and quicker on Google Play. Once the Android PacKage (APK) is uploaded, it takes only a few hours before the app goes live.
• Fragmentation. On the one hand, fragmentation may be considered a disadvantage, but Android allows creating apps for a wider range of hardware such as wearables, streaming devices, TVs, in-car systems, and more.

Cons of Android App Development

• Fragmentation. There are a multitude of devices with different resolutions and screen sizes to take care of. This makes the app design and UI development much more challenging. Android development teams should take this into account if they want to deliver a responsive app design that runs seamlessly across many devices, as well as to assess the impact of launching new features since a malfunction on a device can prevent users from running the app as anticipated. This is why there are so many apps of poor quality in the Play Store.
• Testing. Given the multiple Android devices and versions, QA specialists have to spend more time to thoroughly test apps on all models.
• Cost. Due to the fragmentation and a large amount of testing required, it may cost more to develop in this platform. Still, it depends on the app’s complexity.
• Open system. Android is naturally open to more of the inner workings of the system. This accessibility helps developers to create and apply features that would probably be restricted by iOS.
