So, you can see both of these have their limitations and advantages while developing applications on android operating system seems to be more beneficial.

ANDROID	iOS
Android has a clear distinctive advantage because of a larger global platform share	iOS is highly popular across the US and European markets
Android is popular in developing countries and among people with low income	Popular among high income groups
Consumers spend money on practical purchases	Users prefer to invest more money and time on apps
The devices come in multitude of sizes and choices	Limited choices
Apps can be developed across OS	Apps can be developed on a Mac alone
Multiple vendors are running the OS	Apple has exclusive license for their OS
Development time is long	Short development cycle
Costlier to develop	Cost advantageous

Five User Behavior Factors While Developing Mobile Applications

• Purchasing power and purchasing tendency

iOS app users would be more interested to invest more money than those using android applications. So, the scope of monetization and targeting pinpointing segments of high income group audiences is relatively simple and easy in iOS.

• Preference of quick roll out

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. So, if your audiences are attentive towards quick roll out of their preferred apps, iOS might essentially have some advantage over android  

• Personality

Interestingly, android users are more introverted. iOS users prefer to spend more money and might be interested in leadership roles. In contrast, android users better want to remain as followers and be the contributor of change

So, consumer spend, their buying habit, their time spent on an app, and the tendency of baying pattern etc collectively make the overall scenario leading to the development of an application. 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. 

The golden rule to design and develop a successful application for business across android or iOS 

• Identify the problem area 
• Choose the platform and device
• Narrow down the revenue model 
• Design
• Narrow down the approach 
• Develop a prototype 
• Market

Many companies create mobile apps, but then there are only few who do it remarkably better. Now, you would ask remarkably better means remarkably more investment. You would be surprised to learn you do not need to invest more if you are in the good company.

The core steps to develop a successful mobile application for your business -

Identify the problem area

First, think about an issue the market is having and then subsequently think about the solution you can offer using an application. Always try to begin something new. If you are offering anything already available in a tough competitive marketplace, you might not be at all be visible, let alone winning the niche.

Choose the platform and device

Based on the application needs, choose the platform and devices. Think about the battery life, hardware performance, coverage, support, device support, features etc. while choosing the method to launch your app.

Narrow down the revenue model

The app you want to develop should have its own revenue model. Without a successful revenue model, your app could not necessarily survive in a competitive marketplace. The revenue model could be of many types; including subscription based, in-app purchases, premium, advertising, pay per download etc.

Design

That's when you turn ideas into practice. Keeping special focus on UI design, multi-touch gestures for touch-enabled devices, practical design standards and raising the bar with meaningful additions of features play a key role

Narrow down the approach

Based on the time and budget constraints, you should choose the approach from possible available options including native, hybrid and web. When an app is specifically designed for a platform, it is called native app, if the app can be run on a browser and can be installed on a device like a native app, it is called hybrid app. Now, when it comes to web apps, it could be traditional, responsive and adaptive.

Develop a prototype

Before the final launch, a prototype offers preview of the app with some basic features. It is helpful in attracting investors and preview them the basic ideas.

Now, the rest of the steps include integrating an appropriate analytic tools, get feedback and suggestions from beta testers, deploy the apps.

The other step necessarily includes marketing it.

A business website is like a heart. It keeps working round the hour and in return, it does not complain for the restless job it performs. Rather, it keeps you going. In this highly competitive world, where new technologies are replacing the traditional ones; it comes as a shocker why so many businesses - mostly small businesses - are so indifferent to the development and think twice before launching their own, so-called business website.

Before we impress you with logical reasons you need a business website, please find some statistics that point at multiple alarming and surprising facts about the indifference of some businesses to the importance of having a website.

Did you know?

• 31% of small businesses prefer to use social media rather than a website
• 25% of small businesses do not have sufficient technical knowledge
• 23% of small businesses believe a website is not at all required
• 22% of small business lack human and/or financial resources
• 29% of small businesses do not have a website

So, what restrict businesses from developing their own website?

Perhaps a number of factors play a decisive role in this.

• Indifference - Not knowing what is happening in the world or not wanting to know
• Unwillingness - Not wanting for a transition from traditional means of marketing to new ones
• Budget - Most businesses would lack resources to develop their own website and hence they might seek professional help, but upon knowing about the extent of costing could turn down the idea of a business website. If they make a comprehensive search and prefer to cross check the pricing.
• Orientation - Some businesses do not know the benefits of having a business website in details.

Counter arguments

• Indifference - It can never be an answer for not having a website. If you are in a business, you must be in the know of the development
• Unwillingness - Not interested is another matter. And not wanting because you cannot is another. No business would want to lose on profit simply because of ignorance
• Budget - Rather than asking one or two high end service provider who charges more, you can seek for more help by broadening your search and comparing the quotes.
• Orientation - If you are willing to learn, knowledge is free to consume.

Well, now let us cover the crucial benefits associated with launching and managing your own business website

• It provides social proof
• You control your website
• It is an affordable way to tell about you
• It keeps you in competition
• It is available round the hour

So, when you launch a website; you benefit in a number of ways. The marketing opportunity increases from local audiences to global audiences. The digital sales makes you smart, it offers you cost effective means to reach out to a larger targeted audience. Other than these benefits, a website can help you track user behavior and narrows down on who your pinpointed audiences are. So, it offers increased range of analytics for better business.

Elaborated points

In order to make a Chat Application, you need to have a server for storing user information such as password, user name etc. You can host it anywhere such as Amazon EC2, Google app engine etc. You need to register for GCM push notification.

For android, you should register to GCM and then send the GCM registration id to the server to upload. Another important thing that you need to consider is to design user interface to deliver message, send a message through REST APIs to the server. For this, you can choose to use XMPP or MQTT. Now, in order to receive message from the device, you can send a push notification to the device. There are usually two ways to do this -

1) Deliver the message payload with the help of push notification
