I read a lot about some lumias didn't support some apps , or the developers can't do much with their apps due to OS limitation . Why is this happening ? Can somebody tell me ?
Are you referring to stuff like "you cannot share saved videos via whatsapp because the OS doesn't allow developers to access them" ?or the developers can't do much with their apps due to OS limitation

As developer, I can tell that WP is the most restricted environment... with iOS you have a little more flexibility accessing data, managing other apps and storage, and with background tasks.Apple's iOS is the exact opposite. WP is somewhere in between.
Why do you think MS handles it this way? Is the RT/pro marketplace similar ? and could wp8.1 fix thisAs developer, I can tell that WP is the most restricted environment... with iOS you have a little more flexibility accessing data, managing other apps and storage, and with background tasks.

Do you have an example of something you can develop on WP but it's not developable on iOS ?I'm also a developer. I would say it depends exactly on what you are assessing.

This is designed to preserve battery life.
MS doesn't allow developers to leave an app running in background. For instance, pressing the start button while an app is open make it stop working.
Apps can have background agents to perform operations periodically, but this type of agents are fired only once every 30 minutes (+/- 10 min) and can execute only a subset of the available instructions.
Also , why Microsoft didn't give their best for WP8 ? They should have been good in digital world .
