> My perception is that iOS users—both developers and users—are rather 'hostile' against Android and its ecosystem. They believe that if there is one design authority, it must be Apple, so again Why? Are you saying iOS users are hostile in general or are they hostile about apps using Android design on iOS? From what I've seen, users are hostile when said apps are using non-iOS design on iOS and I agree with them. I dislike Google's designs on iOS, they're out of place and not that great for my use. Google services are great and their apps are great on top of Android, I have no problem with them but when I use said apps on iOS, I fully expect Google to follow Apple's guidelines here. For the same reason people like OS X for many years, users want consistent design throughout all apps on the same platform, it makes it easier to switch apps and know where everything is. Design isn't the only factor, it's the consistency that's important and that's why Apple emphasizes its guidelines for all OS X and iOS developers to follow.
