iOS if you want to get paid quickly (iOS users are more likely to pay for apps).
Android if you’re willing to wait and hope people like your app enough to buy it or click ads.
Just remember there are things like LuckyPatcher on Android that crack apps and remove ads etc.

Android, it's slightly more free(tm)

Writing Android apps is a massive pain and the ass, would not recommend

If you use flutter it's easy and targets both Android and iOS

in my experience, making iOS Apps is MUCH MUCH worse.
Swift versions changing regularly, getting deprecated and finally unsupported, forcing you to frequently rewrite large parts of your app.
Sure you could work with the abomination that is ObjectiveC, if you like pain.
The huge hassle with Signing certificates, provisioning profiles for development and distribution. With Android, you make a keystore, sign your app with one short command, zipalign your app with one short command and it's ready to deploy. Apple shit takes AGES.
XCode doesn't tell you when some resources (e.g. the AppStore Icon is missing), making you sign and upload your app (which takes ages thanks to Apples shitty ass servers) only for Apple to tell you after half an hour when you're on your way home, that something is missing and you have to rebuild your app (also not using the same App version, since you already used that in the previous failed attempt).
XCode is also by far the worst IDE I've ever used. It's slow, clunky, buggy, has a bad UI, doesn't really help you develop, and it's not configurable enough (highlighting other occurrances of variables only with underlining which isn't very visible).
Did I mention that whenever you update your dev-iPhone, you also have to update XCode because otherwise you can't debug anymore? XCode updates take a few hours, mine crashed yesterday when "installing additional required components". It never finished that. With android studio you can easily develop with any old android you have lying around. Got a new OS version? You don't need to update Android Studio, but if you do, at least you can still use your old code. Fuck iOS, Fuck Apple and their broken ass buildchain. Go with Android if you don't want to constantly contemplate suicide

LMAO. icucks forever BTFO. Literally nothing like that in Android. SDKs are supported for a long time.

Do both with flutter. It's new and lil bit bugged, but very powerful.

Nice pasta.
You’ve been posting this for like a year now. When will you stop?
Stop replying to yourself.
