Honista Atualizado is an Android-based application that also lacks any support for iOS at this point. This is caused by a limitation requiring apps to run in the main thread that Apple enforces as part of their app store submission guidelines, which set high expectations for compliance and security. All apps must undergo a strict review process performed by Apple to verify they meet anonymity, functionality and safety requirements in the App Store. This consists of checking over 100 different criteria, which by a result only allow for the approval to enter one App Store with an average of 60% chances.
The restrictions that are usually placed on regular social media apps do not apply for Honista Atualizado, making it extremely appealing to android users. This nimble use-case is more suited to those who are looking for a bit of extra customization that you cannot get with iOS. Android phone owners have been able to tailor their social networking experience quite a bit with the app; that includes ad-blocking and even beefing up privacy controls. Android's open ecosystem allows users to modify apps, a benefit that 71% of the Android users surveyed by Hal Lin & Associates in May would not want according to Statista.
As with Honista Atualizado, iOS versions of apps such as that present a lot more complications for developers to design. Creating an iOS app is about 20% more expensive than creating an Android one as unique coding skills are required and the design has to fit Apple standards. The cost of entry can be prohibitive, too-it prices out all but the smaller developers. Adding to the delays, Apple's app is also reviewed for a minimum of 24h up to 48 hours where many apps gets rejected due not fulfilling certain criteria adding an extra pain point in iOS app development.
In the technology industry, a common conundrum is to evaluate whether or not it makes sense for businesses to invest time and dollars into working with multiple platforms which aside from costs have associated challenges. One more example: 28% of the world smartphone market is occupied by iOS, and powerful ANDROID have over 70%, IDC data in 2023. This difference usually makes developers want to do Android first if anything so they can reach more people. The mobile dominance of Android, where open-source is embraced and encouraged extends fertile soil for new apps like Honista Atualizado that wouldn't stand a chance in the vast walled gardens.
Meanwhile, iOS users looking for a possible release of Honista Atualizado are searching other applications with similar features. Jailbreaking, which removes iOS restrictions but comes with serious security risks is often considered by users to open access to the files stored on their devices. Still, jailbreaking is contentious and from a security standpoint risky as it voids the warranty on your Apple device due to malware you are installing alongside of side loading apps that complement existing but incomplete features in iOS.
As a result, although Honista Atualizado is not available on iOS, it fully illustrates the difficulty for app development across different operating systems. For developers, releasing for IOS often means jumping through countless hoops to make that release worthwhile in terms of what they can get out of the game versus all developmental costs and prohibitions. In the meantime, its serving a niche userbase on Android with plenty of customization features to make their social media experience completely theirs. Only time will tell if Honista Atualizado makes it to iOS as the tech landscape continues evolving, creating a ripe new point of interest for users looking to tighten control over their digital interactions.
