First, but not exclusively. As a long time complainer about the iOS-first mindset I used to keep a spreadsheet actually of how long the Android versions of apps were delayed.

I don't recall many iOS and iOS only apps. There was just generally and Android time-tax that Android users had to wait through.

I made a good career out of selling late-to-the-party native android ports for companies.

Its pretty low key lucrative too:

- iOS development is crowded, Android devs are more scarce and there are too many unrelated skillset paths to build a native android app.

- The APIs are already developed by the time you get there.

- The designs have already happened, for the most part. Its no longer a fact finding mission and instead a pure implementation mission.

- You make more money and have to deal with less company-wide fires in the process.

- Nobody bothers you. You get to be on autopilot.

- And its also pretty pointless. Most company's android apps are just a checkbox, store presence to show they haven't neglected it. Nobody is going to actually download it.

It was fun for a while, I got my funds up.

“Can you make it look like the iOS app?”

my G!! lol....if Kotlin was available back then, I definitely would've jumped on that ship. Now it seems mobile isn't really viable in terms of money though

I saw the writing on a the wall in time

There is a ceiling you can make doing mobile dev, and companies don't make a return from pursuing it

React Native solves the needs of most companies' apps on both platforms, they'll figure it out all pretty quickly at the same time
