At the end of last year they saw the light two big new updates for prevailing operating systems in the mobile device industry, iOS 8 y Android Lollipop, and now that both have been in circulation for a few months, we began to be able to make the first evaluations of how each of them is doing (beyond adoption rates, a battle that we knew in advance would win iOS 8). The latest report on the matter, leaves us some interesting data regarding its stability.
How much do applications fail on each operating system?
The truth is that despite how much expected these two updates have been, both have left a good number of user reports of incidents, especially during the first weeks. Intuitively, however, it would have been possible to bet, one would say without too much risk, that the biggest problems had been for iOS 8. The consulting firm's study Crittercism, however, it allows us to conclude it with data, although it must be taken into account that its measurement is limited exclusively to the percentage of times an app closes unexpectedly, and that it is a 2,2% for iOS 8 and a 2% for Android Lollipop, a difference that seems small but is actually a 10%.
Apple will focus on achieving greater stability with iOS 9
It must be recognized, in any case, that these are quite low figures, although rising in the case iOS 8 (At iOS 7 the percentage was 1,9%), which may leave your users somewhat concerned. However, it seems that there is no reason for this, at least not as a medium or long-term trend, because in Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), are aware that they need to take at least a year to dedicate to optimizing their mobile operating system and it seems that for iOS 9 will put aside the introduction of new functionalities and will dedicate themselves precisely to solving these problems, focusing on providing it with a greater stability or with a better performance.
