Of the 55,000 developers that are tracked by Flurry Analytics' platform, 73 percent opted to start projects optimized for iOS before Android in the last quarter of 2011.
Android devices led the way with 53 percent of all smartphone shipments in the third quarter of 2011, while iOS devices represented just 15 percent, according to Gartner.īut despite the high demand for smartphones running Android in the third quarter, there was a significantly larger number of app publishers that focused on building for the iPhone. But in reality, Apple's market share saw a 16.6 percent drop in 2011 compared to the previous year. The overwhelming popularity of Android devices may come as a surprise, considering the highly publicized success of the iPhone 4S.
While the numbers show consumers are buying nearly four times more Android devices than iPhones, mobile application developers have been disregarding the trend, and are primarily focusing on creating apps for iOS.
