Yes, "actively" is the key word here. comScore shows cell phone subscriptions. But while Android subscribers have been growing relative to iPhone subscribers, Android app projects have been declining relative to iOS.
How can we reconcile this conflict? By accepting that the average iOS user is massively more active than the average Android user. I've already cited Google searches. The disparity in app revenue is well documented and mentioned in the link above. Web usage suggests iOS users are three times more active.
comScore doesn't show activity at all, it just shows contracts. Entire markets of mobile devices don't even show up in comScore's smartphone-only analysis. It's not an irrelevant data point, but developers sure don't seem to be making business decisions based on who's kicking ass in the comScore rankings.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
