Environment, and Release Process
Now there are two languages of the mobile operating system that is most widely used by the public. First is iOS and the second is Android. Both of these operating systems are still the largest mobile operating systems with the most users in the world. Therefore do not be surprised if a lot of developers are competing to be able to enter the application in this operating system.
There are many things that need to be considered if a developer wants to publish the application on both of these operating systems. Of course there are differences between Android and iOS starting from the language of the program used until the application can be released. For developers who just want to publish their applications, it is strongly recommended to read the discussion below.
Second Application Programming Language
The first thing discussed is the programming language which is clearly different from the two. Although both operating systems are on a mobile basis, it does not mean that they are the same. Therefore before making an application for both, first understand correctly the programming language. For both operating systems each has two programming languages in between.
Java
For the first programming language, java, it is used by Android. Even so, java is not only used by Android, but also for iOS. It’s just that java is more widely used by the developer to create Android-based applications. One of the things that causes java to be very popular is the language that is easy to understand.
Java Script With Html 5
Still derived from java and are both used to develop Android-based applications. This programming language is a shortcut so that making web-based applications easier. This is because this one programming language is a hybrid platform. This way the resulting application will be one level better.
Swift
Enter programming number three, swift, which was created specifically for Apple devices. In fact, this swift was made by Apple in 2014, just a year after it was made into opensource. If you want to make a special application for Apple devices, especially the iPhone, it is better to use this programming language.
Objective C
The fourth and final type of programming language is still used for iOS. This time there is something new and still the most people use these days. By using this one language allows users to create applications that are more sophisticated. Because of this many people turn to objective C, and the use of swift has begun to be abandoned.
Development Environment for Both Applications
From the programming language, it is clear that the difference is clear as well as the development environment. Where the development environment for the two mobile operating systems there are differences in some parts. First is the difference in development costs. This is indeed not too big because not too many people realize it.
Remember this fee for one year. Especially for the Android system itself the price varies for the development of each application. But for the initial cost of Android requires The next difference is the development environment for iOS products using Xcode. This will always be listed in every iOS product. This is done so that the application can run well in iOS products. For the development environment of the Android operating system using Android studio. This programming language can also be for Linux, Microsoft and Windows.
Verification Test
When viewed closely, it will be clearly seen that at this stage the difference will be very visible. Some applications that have been declared compatible for iOS devices, especially the iPhone and iPad will be very easy to recognize. Because it will be seen easily, but not everything can be found for other devices.
Inversely seen from the side of Android. Because it is almost difficult to find applications that are compatible on Android, it can also run for iOS. Therefore when creating this Android application it is better to focus first with the operating system version. Only later will it be developed using terminals that will be supported by referring to models that currently have a large share.
Save the Application and Evaluation Process Until Publishing
After completing the application and passing the verification test stage, the last thing is application. It should be understood that both the AppStore and Playstore are a platform, so it is important for both to evaluate first. But this evaluation difference lies if the AppStore is done before while the Playstore is done afterwards.
So the path will be completely different. Where for the AppStore developers will experience the sorting process initially. So it is not possible if from the very beginning the application has been rejected for publication. Because indeed the process of filtering or filtering on application content that can be published by the AppStore is really strict and directed.
If in Playstore a person does not need to be rejected at the beginning of the application. Because as discussed earlier if this application will get an assessment at the end. But don’t be happy yet, because Playstore is also strict with ratings and user reviews. So if there are bad reports related to this application, it is not impossible that this application will be removed just like that.
