what is the difference between Android and iOS app Testing ?

Answer Posted / pratyush

Android is an operating system designed and implemented by Google in order to support its vision for a mobile, light and robust operating system. It’s based mainly on Linux OS which forms the kernel of Android and “above” that kernel, a whole framework exists. The kernel and the core libraries are written in C/C++ and the API, through which one can develop his/her applications, uses mainly Java. Android’s source code is released by Google under open source licenses, even if most Android devices ultimately ship with a combination of open source and proprietary software.

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple and distributed exclusively for Apple hardware. It is the operating system that powers many of the company’s iDevices. It’s a closed-source operating system. The iOS kernel is XNU and is mainly written in C/C++ and Objective-C. The applications must be written and compiled specifically for iOS and the 64-bit ARM architecture or previous 32-bit one. Xcode is the primary development environment for the iOS. iOS applications, like many of the higher-level frameworks and applications that are part of iOS and OS X, are written in Objective-C.
