Hi, i'm thinking about the switch from Android to IOS or working on both of them but, i wanna know is IOS competition kinda less than android or it's the same i mean is it hard to rank the apps and what about the revenue of the ads? So what do you think guys?
 
IOS is all about rich people with enough money to burn. So go for it. As far as using it for personal things, go with android.

So there's no way to make it free such as those missing apps that only exists on android? I mean using free method ASO or maybe burning few dollars on facebook ads ...
and for the Android is there a good way to speed up the rank of apps i mean relying on ASO would take a long time so is there a way to boost it without burning money on ads?
 
Keep an eye out on Flutter to see when it goes out of beta.

My bet is it will create a lot of new opportunities at the end of ‘18.
 
iOS apps can fetch you a good amount of money but it is difficult process to get the app approved compared to play store. Development for Android is also much simple comparatively.

I saw a promo video of it on Google youtube channel when they were talking about cross platform i thought it was just a remake of Ionic, but after checking the website i guess it's similar to Xamarin one base code for cross platform. I will make sure to keep an eye on, the thing that i don't get google end of last year, it consider Kotlin as a development language for android and now Flutter, so what do you need to focus on native or cross platform!?

What kind of difficulties is it about the quality of the apps? i saw some some apps on appannie of IOS the quality of them is low

Native...
Flutter handles both, no need for separate code bases.

Im going balls deep with this one. Will let you know in about 6-8 months if I made a good or bad decision...
 
Depends on what type of app you are making but why not do it for both platforms?

I'm actually have no idea about IOS developments just wanna know is it worth it cause i heard from some people they say that IOS is hard and you need budget to get started not talking about the account but to rank the app and others they said that it's kinda worth it. But yeah why not doing both trying to find the answer

iOS is more expensive to develop compared to Android. True.

On average the iOS customer has more to spend. true again, but starting to shift...

iOS is loosing marketshare against Android. again, true.

Be carefull with iOS web views. Simply “apping” your website could lead to a refusal from Apple. And it may very well be the next thing Cupertino will be tossing (banning) from their app store entirely.

Cupertino isn’t really a fan of “apps” that pull data from servers which they have no control over.

But if you are not planning to “appify” your clients affiliate website, their is no reason not to have the app(s) in both stores.
 
it is not just about the quality, they reject any apps which are clones or using themes, they go thoroughly about the permissions the app is requesting and the security of the data. It is a long process to get app approved for App Store. Coming to the use of Flutter, it looks good but still in beta and uses Dart which I am not very big fan of. In my view, React Native is much better .

Two totally separate things. RN is JS and uses JIT on iOS (very nicely.) Flutter doesn’t use JIT (for obvious reasons.)

On Android, Flutter is able to use/interact with the C/Linux layer if needed. Never seen RN do that, but my knowledge and experience with RN, R, and other JS frameworks is very limited.

Flutter is good but it is more suitable to developers with C# background. I experimented it and it uses widget method (mostly copied from RN component method) but is not effective as RN and will be a pain with styling the components. I used pretty much every framework from Ionic, NativeScript, RN , Flutter and can say RN is the best bet.
 
Does any one on here know where to get themes for react native apps from? something similar to themlock?
