As a indie I can tell you that Android is ridiculously hard (or 
impossible) to make a living on... Google made it so easy to 
install apps that piracy is a norm. Apple has its flaws (Xcode 
was a horrible horrible thing before very recently when they 
switched to clang) but there is a chance to get your investment 
back at least.
