> Our team, without any policy dictating daily development habits, has coalesced around Linux/Android development with iOS testing before release.
Interestingly our team has gone the opposite way (again, no official policy). The deciding factor in our case has been the relative performance of Xcode/iOS Simulator vs Android Studio + Android Emulator. Android Studio on it's own slows my computer down more than Xcode compiling AND the iOS Simulator running at the same time. The Android emulator is all but unusable on my MacBook.
I agree there's a lot of painful bits around signing/release on iOS though.
