It is the most popular OS in the world, and the best part about Android is that it is open-source software; it gives all phone manufacturers a free license to be able to modify the OS of their own devices. The freedom that is given for modifying Android also comes with a few challenges along the way.<\/p><p>It was only a couple of years ago when Android released Android 9.0, aka Android Pie, that implemented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/blog\/what-is-artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">artificial intelligence (AI)<\/a>.

Apple\u2019s development tool is Xcode which is available for free. In 2014, Apple, the Swift programming language, was supported by the IDE in order to simplify development for all developers. In this case, developers can use Swift or Xcode to build applications on macOS, iOS, and more. Indeed, it is the only and the most popular development platform for <a href=\"..\/services\/mobile-application-development\/ios-application-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS app development<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Apple Developer Program has a yearly cost of $99 and allows you to submit apps on the iTunes App Store.
