<p>Android is currently the absolute leader in terms of the number of devices. Their share is now 86.2%, and in recent years their share has only been growing. That is, iOS, Windows Phone, and other operating systems account for a total of less than 14%. This already unambiguously determines that applications should be developed primarily for Android. Such success of Android-based devices is primarily due to their excellent functionality, good hardware, a huge range of products and budget price due to savings on marketing.
