The future of an operating system depends on its ecosystem of developers, which support the platform by launching the applications and games that become essential. Without this support, Android would not be what it is today.
The best showcase of apps and games on Android is Google Play, the official store of Google’s operating system that today has taken the chest to announce that have paid developers more than 80,000 million dollars to date.

The developers continue to getting more revenue in the App Store with Google Play. In the first half of the year 2019 there was a difference of 80% in favor of Apple, despite the fact that there is on the market for over 2,500 million active devices with Android front the 1,500 million active devices with iOS. Google Play is you have to put the batteries to reach the sales reported in the App Store.
