I did not know where else to turn for this question
My present background is Android and Rails application development. I am building a social media type mobile app that allows for real-time messaging between users, and the creation/scheduling of events as well as a web component in rails.
In terms of launch, everywhere I look it notes not to launch to Android first, but focus on iOS, yet just about all of these sources are 2+ years old.
For the application that I have, generally described, is there any reason not to launch to Android first? Are the fears outlined in the articles outdated?
I'm working on a social network app for Android too and in my opinion you don't need to fear about selecting an OS for starting development. Start from where you are experienced. I'm good enough with Java and Android so I decided to start with Android. When I have a fully functional app than I will launch and start building the app for iOS.
You should focus on the OS that you like and you are experienced with. I think these articles are oldies. But the decision is up to.

When you have to implement system which needs:
Backend, Frontend (Angular for instance), Android, IOS
You are considering implementing a mobile version of frontend and use webview instead of native Android or IOS app?
Of course, it depends on the project, but let assume:
We don't have to use Android / IOS features like notifications, sensors (Bluetooth, nfc, ...)
Our project is a page for instance "StackOverflow", where the user may authorize herself
Nowadays, we are also implementing the mobile version of the frontend as a good habit
Usually, native apps would always be better, but maybe it's faster and enough to use webview instead of implementing two native apps?
There is no correct answer to this. One could use a PWA, a hybrid app (many ways of doing that). As always, it depends. I don't even know if native apps are always better. They are more expensive in many cases, but if that is 'better'? Wouldn't a web app work too? It almost certainly is faster and cheaper to develop one (web-)app for multiple platforms, but what way to go is the best in your case is entirely up to you to decide.

I had chosen to develop an mobile app for my final year project. The app is an parenting application that help parent to monitor and control screen time of their children and it have some function such as:
- Send notification to the parent mobile device when the child start to use the device.
- Lock the phone at certain time or by choice.
- Location tracking (optional)
- Report on use-time.
I'm familiar with basic Java and Android programming.
So what are the other knowledge (technology, mechanism, etc) that i will needed to develop this app.
It seems like you want to create parental control app and you can create it using "Android Management API"
Please refer Android Management API
Many companies installs this kind of apps in their employees company owned devices, many parents install this kind of apps in their child's mobiles to monitor their data usage, applications usage, their driving speeds etc.
Best of luck.

I personally am completely self-taught when it comes to android, and, well, its been a journey.
For me, a big turning point was

It really gives you a good idea of what it takes to create an app that is connected to the internet, and it isn't hard to implement yourself. Mind you, before, you were working with just android, but once you integrate network connectivity and a server backend, the levels of complexity multiply.
If you're a solo-developer, just getting started, the Google App Engine does a pretty good job of making everything very easy to use, so I might recommend that. It has a free trial of all their cloud services which is $300 for 2 months.

Amazon AWS also is attempting to create a similar system, but they are seemingly geared to more enterprise-level operations.

i'm starting at this world of app development and after some researches i still don't know which one to use.
For having a little knowledge in AngularJs,some recommended Ionic but, is the performance affected ?
Should i begin with Ionic Framework or Android native ?
Wether to go native or not is great battle among most app developers.
I would always opt for native, because it has every utility for the platform and supports the developer in every possible way. Hybrid aproaches are lacking nearly all of this, but are written in a cross platform language quite a lot developers are familiar with.
So on the bottom line it greatly depends on the needs of your project. But to get started, may try a little "hello world" with the android SDK and java. You will very quickly get to know a lot of the characteristics on android you will need to know even if you opt for hybrid. This knowledge will be essential, especially if you want to publish your app on Google Play or Amazon App Store.

I have built a very simple android app (i.e., an app that essentially just shows pictures along with some quizes). I am curious what the cheapest way of duplicating my app on iPhone, assuming I can't do it myself?
In that case, you should develop this app in titanium framework that framework basically supports javascript type structure and provides platform to develop app in both platform ios as well as android.
You might want to take a look at the j2ObjC project from Google
It will convert existing Java code to objective-c.
I haven't tested it and don't know how well it does perform, but if the app is simple, it should do well
If your application feature has not required native framework then you can create your application in multi platform framework.
Apache Cordova is one of the reliable mobile application framework which is run on iOS, Android and many other operation system.
Also you can find much details on this Link.
So you can make you application with using such framework and deploy on any operation system.
