Although developing apps on android is more popular and has become more matured to develop on; the development time is usually a little long on android. So, if you want to quickly beta test your applications, launching applications on iOS might be more practical.

The better your entire app development method is channelizing according to the operating system and its significant attributes, quicker and simpler do you receive the yields.
