Writing applications on a single platform is no longer a rarity. Statistical software developer creates the 2.9 platform. It’s still less than the average of 3.2 two years ago – the likely reason is the poor state of the Blackberry. Overall, up 71 percent. developers write applications for Android, and 56 per cent. for iOS and.

course, there is nothing surprising in this, because it’s Apple’s profits from the system are the most – an average of 5200 dollars. per month. They come mainly from the purchase application or internal payments. Developers of programs for Android can boast earnings at 4700 dollars. month, but – apart from buying applications – the most popular source of income is advertising. In third place is a Windows Phone with a score of 3600 dollars., And the fourth … HTML5, whose average earnings are 2900 dollars. Blackberry closing rate with a weak – compared to the other – the result of 1200 dollars.

Earnings are important, but as shown by the survey, developers are much more important things. In terms of the motivation of developers, the money is only fifth place. Ahead of it (in order from the most popular): being creative / feeling of success, the pleasure of building a website, building a business, and participate in an exciting market.

interesting were the results of the readiness to develop an application on another platform than the systems of Google and Apple in the third quarter of this year. Here won the Windows Phone (if you do not count Windows 8) with a score of 35 percent. Although a decrease of 12 percentage points compared with the result scored as shown by six months earlier was enough to leave the rest of the platform behind. Behind him were the Blackberry 10 (28 percent.) And Firefox OS (27 percent)..

Interest developer platform is a good indicator of its development. Forecasts for Windows Phone’a are good, but VisionMobile writes:

“duopoly with iOS and Android still strongly held and there is no indication that, in the near future this will change.”
