I develop for both iOS and Android. Its night and day difference between the two developer tools. XCode is absolute garbage and get worse year after year. Android Studio is excellent and keeps getting better. Things which were traditionally not great with Android dev are being fixed. Like faster ADB, good emulators, faster built times, Kotlin. I could go into more details, but I would rather be a full time Android developer than a full time iOS developer. The things iOS development really has going for it is, iOS users are more willing to spend money and the there are very few unique devices. Most apps even start out just targeting a single screen size, the iPhone 6. You can't do that if you are targeting the desktop or Android.
