Software Fragmentation
It is a common challenge faced by all app developers on all the platforms, but we can say that in Android, the impact of the challenge is higher compared to other platforms. Because in Android a lot of devices are needed to be considered while developing the app. And the devices are running on different OS versions, so developing an app which works on all the versions is hard for the developers. So almost all the app developers are trying to focus on the latest versions only, due to these clients are losing their prospective customers who are using the older versions.
Mobile Device Resolution
One more challenge, especially faced by Android developers is developing an app which works perfectly on different Android devices. Each Android device has its own features in terms of display size and screen resolutions. So, according to their resolution, developing an app is hard for the developers. Developing an app which works fine on all the available android devices makes it financially heavier and painful in terms of cost.
Security Issues
In Android, security is a major issue. Making an Android app extremely secure is not an easy task. There are plenty of Android devices in the market running on different OS versions, so dealing with all these devices is pretty hard for the developers. As a result, many of the Android apps face security issues.
Patent Issues
Recently Android software developers and hardware manufacturers have faced the violation of patent issues. The reason that made it offensive is while developing they implement some innovative features which is already utilized in some other apps, without knowing that they implement that in their app.
Conclusion
Well discussing with the client is the best way that all the Android app developers can use to avoid all the above challenges. Discuss with your clients, in that discussion try to clarify all your doubts.
Plan to develop an Android app, but to execute it successfully, you have to hire an expert Android app development company.
