Which is better, career wise? iOS or Android application development?

This is an intriguing question for me. I am a web developer by profession. I am convinced that I need to learn at least one mobile platform to keep up with the times.<p>I have an old Android flagship phone. I never considered iPhones because they are too expensive in our country. But the majority opinion I see in sites like HN and Reddit lean towards iOS. They say that you can earn more on iOS.<p>I would like to develop in Android because that is the phone that I have. But I am also enticed by the monetary advantages that developing in iOS brings.<p>I already have a macbook. Is that enough to develop in iOS? Or do I need an iPhone to truly test apps?

Java is much more ubiquitous than Swift&#x2F;ObjectiveC. I don&#x27;t know that I would consider a career writing Java &quot;better&quot; though.

Going from iOS to Android is easier than going from Android to iOS. Learn iOS first.

Personally I do Windows, Android and iOS. Xamarin allows me to use and share C# code for all 3.

I believe you will have to do both as you progress in your career.
