Android app development companies are eying a transition at this moment, which is, a mass transition of android users from gingerbread to ICS and Jellybean. The recent data released by google shows significant rise of ICS and Jellybean while the dominating market for gingerbread has shrunk in the latest result. One of the main reasons that’s keeping gingerbread high up in the list is its favorable performance in low end android devices with limited hardware muscle. Mobile app developers also understand the challenges associated with cross device functionality in android devices and are aggressively segregating their app ideas in accordance to the newer versions of android.
Jellybean and ICS will add more flavour to android-
Android app development experts want to bank on the new technologies in android 4.0 and above. Developers do not want to miss an opportunity to create competing application for the android ecosystem. It is a well known fact that iOS’s overall performance still overruns android in a number of area. In this case android app development experts want to ride high on features like NFC, powerful voice input, video effects etc., that comes bundled with ICS and Jellybean only. Apple’s indigenous advantage of creating its own devices helps in the growth and sustainability of its ecosystem. If android wants to rule the creme market it needs to ensure a better platform for android app development so that developers can create high performance apps benefiting the entire ecosystem.
Android app developers are segregating their apps-
Android app developers have increasingly become aware of the skewed demands patterns of the android driven ecosystem. In the play store itself you have number of NFC based apps already. These apps are basically designed with customized functions. Although such apps are compatible with gingerbread as well, they perform better with higher versions of android. Infact at Openxcell, we have made a couple of music apps that runs exclusively on high end android devices. The asymmetry of the devices resulting into asymmetry of OS versions in android are thus segregating the markets of apps slowly in android.
The road ahead-
Meanwhile rumours for multiple iPhone with differing configuration for developing markets is already doing the rounds. On one side where android app development looks for uniformity to curb performance issues and nurture the ecosystem, will Apple’s step towards multiple iPhone lead to an android like situation? The answers would be interesting!
