Re:Ask HN: Is there much future in being a Swift developer?

The beauty of iOS over Android is one of cohesiveness. Android seems "balkanized". Is something deployed guaranteed to work across all Android devices? I'm firmly in the iOS camp as an end user and my now-decreasing development efforts are on Linux, primarily Python and Bash (systems deployment and maintenance). Android, while nice on a Pixel (friends) seems almost broken on other devices.

This might be the case 7 years ago, but since Android Jetpack, a lot of Android development has been standardized. It used to be that it behaved differently across manufacturers with things like camera and file systems, but even this functions roughly the same these days, with CameraX and the newer media permissions.
