Install software on a platform. Find defects in a program.

If you are developing an application to be installed in Android, then it's going to be incorporated into that software and form part of the platform.

If you find a major flaw on Android, you are not talking about Android itself, but something else which is running on that platform (and which works well on other platforms).
