A long time back, when the iOS App Store was first launched, both small scale and large scale developers jumped ahead to create third party apps for the giants of smart phones. Many developers earned large sums of money by creating new and exciting apps for iOS users. With the advent of the iOS App Store, many developers saw the opportunity to start off their own business of app development. Many actually quit their regular jobs to be Apple app developers and earned a lot of money.
Lately, with the market expanding and new developers cropping up, the Apple iOS App Store has become a battleground among small scale and large scale developers. While many influential and top rated app developing companies are earning millions from the store, small scales as well as individual developers are not really shining as much as they had when the Store opened. Keeping in mind the complexity of iOS apps and the lack of sure success, at present, the App Store is not the place for regular developers.
On the other hand, third party developers for the Mac OS are doing splendid in the present scenario. When app sales are taken into consideration, the developers who work on Mac are much more successful with respect to their iOS app based developers. Though the Mac app store is actually thriving, in comparison to the iOS App Store, the Mac app store seems paralyzed. With the immense competition in the iOS Store, it is very difficult to make the consumers notice a new developed. On the other hand, since the congestion of developers is much less in the Mac Store, one has a better chance of being noticed. According to the experts, in order to thrive in the present scenario, it is much better to be a Mac app developer than an iOS app developer.
