Fragmentation of devices
Android, unlike other mobile operating systems, is an open-source project. Google gives device manufacturers the freedom to alter and enhance the Android operating system. As a result, different Android devices have different hardware features. For example, fingerprint sensors are available on some Android devices, whereas others do not. As a result, a developer cannot leverage the device's fingerprint sensor to enhance the mobile app's user experience. To accommodate the many hardware features of Android smartphones, he needs to implement several authentications.
Android lacks a standard user interface.
A hardware maker can tailor the stock Android operating system to suit specific requirements and strategies. In addition, because Google does not supply a standard UI for Android operating systems, he has the option of designing a custom user interface (UI) for the device. As a result, the user interfaces differ from one Android device to the next. Because of the many user interfaces, making an Android app suitable for each device is difficult for mobile app developers. They may always follow Google's UI design standards to help their Android apps look more appealing. However, in order for the app to be compatible with different devices, the developers must figure out how to keep the app's layout adaptable and adaptive.
New Security Concerns
Android is more vulnerable to targeted security attacks due to its large global market share. Google releases security patches and updates on a regular basis to address security flaws in the basic Android operating system. However, tweaks made by hardware makers to stock Android have resulted in a slew of security problems. Such security problems are not addressed by Google's security updates or fixes. To safeguard the app and user data, developers must employ a combination of strong security measures and powerful encryption technologies. However, addressing growing Android security issues makes it difficult for developers to make the Android app and user data secure.
