6,000 mobile developers: Android most popular, iOS most profitable, Windows Phone most “next”

The average developer, the report shows, builds for 2.9 ecosystems simultaneously — most likely a mix of Android, iOS, and Windows Phone — with either Android, iOS, or HTML5 as their primary platform 84 percent of the time. That’s down from 2011, in which developers built for 3.2 ecosystems, and shows that BlackBerry likely fell out of some degree of favor.
