I think both iOS and android has good prospects but when considering the cost of development, iOS is higher than android.Both has equally good quality to its programming flow and structure.It is finally up to what kind of application is required and to which user is it focused to.

In general, every project owner wants their product to be cheap and cost effective. 

Android enjoys economical app development as compared to IOS.

However, Gulf enjoys lucarative lifestyle. So they go for IOS.

IOS because of great features and smartness. 

According to IDC, Apple's smartphones market share in 2016 was 23%, so it goes without saying that the rest has to be Android, plus some irrelevant percentages belonging to Microsoft and Legacy devices. So, it would seem Android is by far the people's favorite OS in this market. We will see what happens now with iPhone 8 and iPhone X, but considering Samsung and Huawei aren't just watching, I don't think we can expect any major changes. Maybe it would be interesting to drill down into these numbers by segments: Low income workers, Vs Millennials, Vs ex-pats Vs etc...
