android development

android development involves the process of creating and publishing apps on the android platform using programming languages like JavaScript and C++. The importance of Android development can not be stressed enough as billions of smartphone users around around the world use the android platform to buy and use their favorite apps. The Android platform is the largest producer of mobile apps with the highest number of apps produced in a single year consistently. Android still hold the highest market share in the smartphone, with 85.9 percent of all smartphones sold to end users phones were equipped with the Android operating system, as of 2018.

Android has a better user reachability since most smartphones run on the Android system while the competing platforms like the Apple iOS only run on the Apple iPhones and iPads. Android has also made it for new developers to publish apps since there are no "acceptance requirements", so apps can be published even when they might not be high quality apps. There are no restrictions on what should be developed, the Google and Amazon platforms are linked to the play stores, which is why there is a greater chance at an app being a success. And since it is cheaper to develop an Android app, a good app can generate handsome profits.

android apps also rely on third party advertisers, banner ads, and background usage to market paid ads.
