important reason for this growth is seen the reduction of fragmentation on the Android platform. Currently, 45% of Android Jelly Bean Users and ensures Play Services for the ‘tracking’ of older devices.

addition, the money with ads on Android easier than on iOS, because the ads are cheaper on Android. Google also has an agreement that applications can be dealt with.

Google has also developed a number of tools that developers can register using the application and thereby better able to respond to problems and needs of the user faster. Part of this include the fact that the developer via a Google+ beta test can boot and that developers can now respond in the Google Play Store.
