iOS apps are almost exclusively purchased, installed, and updated through

Apple’s App Store. An exception is providers of line-of-business apps

specific to a particular organization. These internal development groups

reside within an organization and can develop iOS apps, but deploy them

only to devices that are under the organization’s control, skipping the public

App Store. They still have to undergo a type of Apple partnering and

enterprise licensing approval process.

Google Android

For simplicity, think of Android and iOS as opposites. Android (see Figure

24-16) is an open-source platform, based on yet another open platform,

Linux, and is owned by Google. Because Android is open source, device

manufacturers can (and do!) alter or customize it as they see fit; there are

differences among the implementations from various vendors. Google writes

the core Android code and occasionally releases new versions (naming each

major update after a dessert or candy of some sort), at which point vendors

customize it to add unique hardware features or provide a branded look and

feel.
