Overview
An android application supported by the Android Operating system is developed using the android software development kit (SDK) on android studio. For developers, with many skill levels, Android is a platform that is easier to master. For application development, Android uses Java as a programming language that most developers are familiar with. In comparison with any other platform, mobile app development services can utilize Android more easily. Android devices are used by more people therefore manufacturers producing devices that support Android apps outnumber those developing to support iOS-specific apps. Android applications have the ability to run more devices than their competitors therefore Android rules the app market.
