Why Companies Are Leaving iOS for Android

Brett Cooper sits down with Richard Makerson (CEO, BlueFletch) and Alan Lampa (CTO, BlueFletch) to talk through what actually happens when a company moves its frontline fleet from iOS to Android. 

Richard breaks down why the economics catch up with iOS over time, why device options across Android OEMs matter more than people think, and the WWDC story that nearly got BlueFletch fired from a client project. 

Alan covers the technical side: app lifecycle differences, Android Enterprise security, and the mistakes teams make when they try to port an iOS app one-to-one instead of rethinking the experience.

Reach out to BlueFletch at bluefletch.com if your team is planning an iOS to Android migration.
