Google has updated its Google Play distribution data for the seven-day period ending December 1, revealing that Android 4.4 KitKat running devices are steadily rising and closing the gap on Jelly Bean-powered devices.
Sharing the distribution data of different versions of Android, Google
reported that KitKat OS has a total share of around 34 percent (precisely
33.9 percent) of active Android devices that check into Google Play
compared to the 30.2 percent reported at the beginning of November -
an increase of 3.7 percent in roughly a month.

Interestingly, Google's latest Android build - Android 5.0 Lollipop - that
was released in mid-October, and is now around for more than a month,
is yet to make a cut into the chart. The Android Developers' webpage
notes, "Any versions with less than 0.1 percent distribution are not
shown," tipping that the Android 5.0 Lollipop despite of beingrolled
out to a bunch of devices has not yet reached the minimum mark.

The Mountain View giant shows that Android Jelly Bean still powers
the majority of Android devices, with the combined percentage of 48.7
percent - dropping 2.2 percent from November's 50.9 percent. The
Android 4.1.x is seen on 21.3 percent devices, Android 4.2.x on 20.4
percent and Android 4.3 on 7 percent devices.

Android 4.0.x or Ice Cream Sandwich, in Google's December report,
registered a share of 7.8 percent, down 0.7 percent from November.
Android Gingerbread (v 2.3.3-2.3.7) and Android 2.2 Froyo's device
distribution shares are 9.1 percent (down 0.7 percent) and 0.5 percent
(down 0.1 percent) respectively in the latest report.

Google further adds, "This data is gathered from the new Google Play
Store app, which supports Android 2.2 and above, devices running older
versions are not included. However, in August, 2013, versions older than
Android 2.2 accounted for about 1 percent of devices that checked in to
Google servers (not those that actually visited Google Play Store)."

Interestingly, Apple's iOS 8 within three months of its public release is
powering the majority (60 percent) of active iOS devices. It took Google's
Android 4.4 KitKat version 13 months to reach 34 percent of the worldwide
users, according to Google's figures shared in December.
