Why build for Android?

Why should I port my App to Android?

Alot of the mobile phone market has changed since Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007.

Google’s copycat Android has taken over the world in many of the important numbers. 

As an App developer you need to release on both platforms.

But how?  For a solopreneurs (there are 40+ Millon in the USA and doubling by the end of the decade) the optios to develop dule platform software stacks are too costly, droping back to a JavaScript App (non native) is too much of a compromize that servers no one.

Look at these charts by Backlinko Team.

In 2024 an answer arrived on the scene...  Skip Tools.

While adding the complexity of a Transpiler to your SwiftUI stack is easy to do, it does raise the bar on skill sets and is not without mental costs.  But nothing like the 3x++ cost of going dule stack development for the small developer.

I'm using Skip Tools now to develop dule platform with a single SwiftUI code base.
