Abstract

Building a mobile app is no easy task! The wide variety of devices in the world makes it difficult to target them all effectively. The situation has stabilized a lot from the “olden” days (you know, like five whole years ago or so), when you had to consider iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, Blackberry OS, webOS, Tizen, and probably some others now consigned to the dustbin of history. Today, it’s a two-horse race between Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.
