Ask HN: Android development, revenue and compatibility

9 pointsby chrisbover 15 years ago
I'm considering writing an app for Android. However, having read a number of blogs/articles it appears to be difficult to make much money from Android, although I haven't been able to find any hard revenue figures from anyone.<p>So, if you've done any Android development, have you made any money?<p>And how much of an issue is compatibility between different platforms?<p>Thanks

Compatibility isn't much of an issue unless you are doing something low level with the NDK, or are using an API that has changed significantly between versions (most are fairly stable). Otherwise just follow the recommendations from the Android team for different screen sizes, etc.<p>I haven't released my app yet and it's going to be free initially anyway, so I don't have any direct observations on revenue.
