[Android developers earn more money than the iOS] - Xpert Mobile

If you are starting your career as a programmer, and hopes to soon develop applications for current platforms, should ask which one offers the most profitable in the current market. The information below may answer your question, with the perspective of the situation of programmers in the United States.

Data were provided by CyberCoders, an American agency recruitment serving of intermediate between a given company and an employee. A CyberCoders recruits programmers and then directs them to the companies that requested the service. Surveying information from the year 2011, the agency provides the wage gain of programmers.

The survey results show that application developers for Android earn more than those who are dedicated to iOS. A senior developer of iOS apps earn, on average, U $ 121,117.00 per year, while a developer of Android apps U receives $ 131,571.00 annually, about $ 10,000 more. The difference is even higher among junior developers: one junior programmer of Android apps has annual salary of U.S. $ 107,185.00, while the iOS gets U $ 81,107.00 annually.

One factor that possibly justify such a difference is the number of jobs available in the market. There are more jobs for developers of iOS than for Android developers. The possibility of finding a job is 20% higher for those seeking work with iOS apps. This is reflective of the amount of skilled programmers in the world of Android, which is lower.

With respect to the programming language, the Objective-C, required to create iOS apps, is the most popular today. The Java programming language, used to Android, is in second place. This shows that developers seek more intimacy with programming dedicated to the iOS.
