In fairness, they managed to do it only for the highest of high end users. Apple institutionally doesn't care about anyone in places like China, India or Africa where data is expensive. That's why Android completely dominates the global smartphone market share.

I guess nothing would stop the Play Store from AOT compiling binaries just for users with fast connections though.

Windows Phones were widely available in India, before everything kind of felt apart, though.
