Choosing Between iOS and Android: A Guide for Mobile Development Students

In this class, we will explore the differences between iOS and Android platforms, focusing on tools, programming languages, and application distribution. Students must choose one platform for their projects. iOS development requires a Mac and utilizes Xcode and Objective-C, while Android development can be done on Windows, Linux, or Mac using Eclipse with the ADT plug-in and Java. We will discuss app distribution, including the approval process versus direct installations. Ultimately, this guide will help you navigate the most suitable platform for your mobile development journey.
