I'm a 3rd party iOS developer: If you want to make money by directly selling something, or need people who constantly use your app => iOS still seems to have higher engagement and higher revenue. If you want to make money by having a thing you're giving away to tons of people who need to only use your app briefly, android MIGHT be the case for tomorrow and for certain communities, today. That said, "Android" isn't a monolith. I think Google did a tremendously good thing by incorporating so many new services into the Play Store rather than into the almost-never-updated core OS, and you should be looking at targeting THAT, not years old versions of Android, to get an updated, easy to maintain android target you do aside an iOS target. People will complain, but will also get new phones that have the Google play store with modern services. With both versions, it's always really important to measure cost per user on a version by version, platform by platform basis.
