Below is some interesting data collected by QuickBlox during last year regarding what OS systems and APIs have been most popular among developers. Basically this is stats for all API calls depending on which SDK / OS they’ve been coming from. This chart includes data for iOS, Android, REST XML and REST JSON only. Windows Phone and BlackBerry data are not included.
