Apps made for the Apple App Store differ in various ways from apps made for the Google Play Store:

Developers use different programming languages when developing for iOS versus developing for Android.
iOS apps and Android apps require different budgets and maintenance tasks.
Different mobile operating systems are popular depending on the country one wants to target.
Android is more customizable than iOS, but not necessarily more popular in every country.

What is the main difference between developing iOS and Android?

There are some crucial differences between iOS and Android app development:

iOS app developers use Swift, whereas Android app developers use Java or Kotlin.
With Apple devices, there are standardized screen sizes for iPhones and iPads. With Android devices, there is a large variety of screen sizes—meaning you need to work more on interface design and case-by-case programming to ensure compatibility and functionality across devices.
Android apps take longer to develop because of device fragmentation—the fact that there are so many different Android OS versions on the market. Different devices get important security updates at different times, and this makes maintaining and developing Android apps more challenging.
iOS and Android apps have different user demographics—age, income, hours spent on apps, locations, and so on. Apple users tend to be younger and more affluent than Android users.

Mobile applications are a move away from the integrated software systems generally found on PCs. Instead, each app provides limited and isolated functionality such as a game, calculator or mobile web browsing. Although applications may have avoided multitasking because of the limited hardware resources of the early mobile devices, their specificity is now part of their desirability because they allow consumers to hand-pick what their devices are able to do.
