Apple’s iOS is the more misbehaved mobile OS, according to Crittercism crash reports from November and December. Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, may change that–for the worse. Crittercism, which provides developers with real-time, actionable crash reports for mobile applications, measured crashes between November and December, and in some instances found iOS crashes to number more than twice those of Android applications. Versions have a lot to do with it, Crittercism CEO Andrew Levy told Forbes. “The permutations go on forever. That’s a large reason for creating our platform.” Apple’s iOS 5.0.1 was the most crash-inclined version of all, accounting for 28.64 percent of crashes between Dec. 1 and Dec. 15. iOS 4.2.10 accounted for 12.64 percent, iOS 4.3.3 for 10.66 percent and iOS 4.3.5 for 8.9 percent. Among Apple devices, the great majority of crashes were logged on iPhones—74.41 percent—followed by the iPod touch, at 14.87 percent, and the iPad, at 10.72.
