Development Battle - Android vs. iOS - Part 5: Summary

Here’s the recap of the battle of the mobile platforms:

• Development Tools: Android
• Code: Draw
• Testing: Draw
• Deployment and metrics: Android

For me, the winner was Android. I did my best to be objective, though it’s very possible that my experience with Android biased my opinions regardless. I think it’s important to note that while I prefer developing for Android, iOS is still very necessary.

I would love to hear other developers opinions on both platforms, especially if you have been a long time iOS developer who had to port an application to Android. Did you have a similar experience or a completely different one?
