I think the rub is that a lot of the apps built at these massive companies use unnecessary third party frameworks and build their apps in janky ways, so while the content of their app doesn't appear to need anything special, it's actually standing on top of a house of cards built out of 3rd party APIs that are doing janky things that break between OS updates. If they just built their apps fully natively, using UIKit exclusively, they likely wouldn't have any problems between releases like you, I, and other devs see.

- zepto 6y agoEvery single person I know who has switched from Android to iOS in the past year or two has said that Apps work better on iOS. Apps simply don’t work ‘just fine’ everywhere else.
- TheKarateKid 6y agoThe quality of iOS apps being higher has absolutely nothing to do with whether the app was programmed in native Obj-C or using a framework. Most iOS apps use a framework.
