The Android operating system is a Linux-based mobile operating system with the largest installed user base. At 53% device market share and 1.5 million (and counting!) available apps in the Play store, Android-powered devices have managed to create a strong stranglehold on the mobile devices market. One factor contributing to the exceptional rise of Android as the most preferred mobile operating systems is it being open source and freely available to app developers. The open source code along with the development tools enable developers to freely create and distribute their applications on the app store.
In addition to being an open source system, Android app development is highly cost effective as well. The Android app developers hardly need to install any additional hardware infrastructure for their app development endeavors. Its relatively low barrier to entry further enhances the return on investments by considerable numbers.
