iOS_Android_fragmentation

We produce a lot of iOS and Android apps here at Binary, and one of the common questions that come up during cross-platform projects is ‘Why does an Android app take so long to build?’.  The chart above shows the fragmentation of the iOS and Android platforms, where Android is clearly broken down into three main versions Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich & Jelly Bean which each use different APIs. For developers of Android apps this increases the time required to build and test… and add the number of Android devices available in the market – you soon see why Android apps take so long to build?
