Flurry Analytics today released a new report highlighting developer interest
in iOS and Android as measured by downloads of Flurry's tools for
integrating analytics into apps. With a new high of over 18,000 SDK
downloads by developers during the first quarter of 2012, Flurry found that
iOS continues to hold a substantial lead over Android with 69% of those
downloads being for iOS.
For every 10 apps that developers build, roughly 7 are for iOS. While
Google made some gains in Q1 2012, edging up to over 30% for the first time
in a year, we believe this is largely due to seasonality, as Apple
traditionally experiences a spike in developer support leading up to the
holiday season. Apple’s business has more observable seasonality.
Flurry points to Apple's dominance in the tablet market as one significant
driver of its popularity with developers, with Flurry's numbers showing that
the iPad accounted for 88% of all user sessions on tablets during the first
five months of 2012. Samsung's Galaxy Tab placed second with just 9% of
the market with Amazon's Kindle Fire representing 3%.
Flurry also offers data on fragmentation within the Android ecosystem,
illustrating how both multitude of devices and operating system versions
leads to developers having to design their apps to be compatible with an
increasingly complex variety of user setups.
Looking at revenue generation, Flurry calculates that for every dollar of
revenue per active user generated on iOS, a developer can only expect to
earn 24 cents on Android, demonstrating the main reason why developers
continue to choose iOS as their first priority for app development.
At the end of the day, developers run businesses, and businesses seek out
markets where revenue opportunities are highest and the cost of building and
distributing is lowest. In short, Android delivers less gain and more pain
than iOS, which we believe is the key reason 7 out of every 10 apps built
in the new economy are for iOS instead of Android.
Flurry's report comes as TechCrunch reminds readers of Google Chairman Eric
Schmidt's claim from December stating that within six months most developers
would choose to develop for Android as their first priority. With six
months having passed and developers clearly still choosing iOS first,
TechCrunch reaches a similar conclusion that fragmentation, particularly on
the operating system side, has been a major contribution to Android app
development falling short of Schmidt's predictions.
Most notably, seven months after the launch of Android 4.0 Ice Cream
Sandwich, Google's own data reveals that only 7.1% of Android phones are
running the latest operating system, a number in line with that observed by
Flurry. In contrast, iOS 5 is reported to be installed on 75-80% of active
devices as measured from a sample of downloads from the popular Audiobooks
application.
