IDC's latest numbers this week put Android at 84% for Q2 unit sales, with
Apple at 11%. Not that much different from what we see on the desktop,

7.8%.
But on phones, that 84%/11% runs the other way on revenue. Android users
just don't pay for apps; iOS do.
Exactly, as I noted in that post.
Later on in that post I described why most of the biggest names in the
business continue to ship to both.
There are many ways to make money in software, and direct revenue from
per-download licenses is only one of them.
Neither iOS nor Android is going away soon. Doesn't seem all that
controversial to expect parity support for them in a multi-platform tool
like LiveCode.
