Why would Google do that? They would be helping another rival platform get market share.

Google is releasing iOS apps because there's no way Apple is going away soon.

Google is releasing iOS apps because they make money from traffic. Android has served its purpose -- preventing Google from getting frozen out of mobile computing traffic. Chrome is the future brand for Google in the human software world.

while google loves android, they live off traffic, if it comes from android, ios, windows, etc they don't care they built google apps for all those platforms

    If Google only cares about traffic, it would have certified Amazon and the Chinese Android clones.

    I don't think we're contradicting each other though.

    Google will go where the users are but I doubt it would help out OS gain a foothold that would threaten the Android ecosystem.

    Google doesn't really make Windows Phone apps though, why would they make SamsungOS apps?
