Done with Android Development. Switching to iOS – Need Advice!
Alright, I’m officially done with my Android developer journey. Google has been such a disappointment.
I am a professional android developer for 10 years now. The whole point of choosing Android development was its flexibility and the fact that it was open source—that’s what initially attracted me. But after seeing Google brutally reject the app I’ve been building for the past year, I’m convinced they don’t value the developers who work hard on their platform...
I’ve decided I’m not going to let Google decide the fate of my side hustle anymore. I’m moving to iOS development. I know Apple has its own set of issues—they’re strict, they have their tantrums, and they often treat developers like ants. But honestly, I don’t care. I just can’t associate myself with Google and their ecosystem anymore.
Now, I need some advice: Is iOS development as much of a pain for indie developers as Android has become? Does Apple at least offer a better experience for devs, or is it just the same mess in a different package?
Let me know what you think.
