Seriously, why developers are still releasing apps just on iOS ? Not just about this project...

@valdecarpentrie average revenue per user is 10x to 100x higher on iOS vs Android. So most launch on iOS first and then make an Android version.

@joshdance @valdecarpentrie that is a bit dramatic. supporting android is really not that hard at all. you certainly do not need to be actively supporting 5 separate builds in the way you are alluding to.
