I'm agree with Temoavv. iPhone sucks and I don't think that the Dev will like to pay a monthly subscription just to publish games on AppStore.
Difference between Android and iOS to publish games:
Marketplace and User Base:
- Android: Has a larger global market share, with many devices running on this OS.
- iOS: While having a smaller market share, users on the App Store are generally more willing to spend money on games
Development Process:
Android: Offers more flexibility with open-source code and a variety of programming languages like Java or Kotlin.
iOS: Developers are restricted to using Swift, but many find it easier and more intuitive than Java.
Monetization:
Android: Users are less likely to pay for apps and games, which may affect the monetization strategy.
iOS: Users are more likely to make in-app purchases, offering potentially higher revenue for developers.
Publishing and Approval Process:
Android: Apps and games can typically be published within a few hours.
iOS: Undergoes a strict review process before release, which can delay the publishing if issues are flagged.
Updates and Maintenance:
Android: Managing updates can be more complex due to the variety of devices and OS versions.
iOS: Easier to manage updates as most users keep their operating systems up to date.
see it's a lot and the dev wouldn't like to pay an annual subscription
