Do you really need to build an app to work on both platforms right away?
The biggest misconception that decision makers have is that their company’s app needs to be available on both Android and iOS immediately.
Yes, there are advantages of being on both platforms, but do you REALLY need to be on both platforms RIGHT AWAY?
Let’s take Instagram for example.
Instagram took two years to develop an Android version. Two years!
“We are currently working on making the iPhone experience as solid as possible. Only then will we consider other platforms, but currently we have nothing to announce.” – Instagram FAQs 2010
If Instagram waited two years to develop an Android app, I think you can, at a minimum, wait three.
