I'd bet few would cover more than 90% of the market and Adobe already knows which are those devices, since we all have Adobe apps installed on them.īesides this, and maybe even more important, I've know lots of artists who would not change Procreate (iOS exclusive) for any other app. Also, this is a primary need for Android tablets (virtually nobody needs it on smartphones) and I can't see why they can't do something similar to what was done on Rush's launch by focusing on most used devices (market share). Having said that, Adobe already has a multitude of apps working on Android ecosystem both for tablets and smartphones, including being the first environment were they've launched Premiere Rush (in partnership with Samsung), months before iOS version. they're great devices, but all the variations only serve to slow things down in the development.ĭave, I'm sure and aware about those extra challenges and troubles while developing for Android. Its not a slam on Windows or Android devices. And not to mention that not all Android devices are on the same version of the OS, unlike iOS/iPadOS, where the vast majority of devices are usually on the most recent version of the OS. And I can imagine Android being even more difficult because there are so many versions of Android that are optimized totally differently than each other based on the device manufacturer.

Android, along with Windows are a bit more difficult to develop for than iOS because there are an insane amount of variations of Android and Windows devices in terms of devices and processors and everything. I mean, there was a full year before Adobe announced what was going to be Fresco, under the name of Project Gemini before we saw the full release for the iPad and we still had another year before we saw a Windows release. Its not something they can just flip a switch and release. Just as I am pretty sure that they're eventually going to have a version for Android.

I'm more than sure that Adobe respects the Android community.
