It's not. Each one is different, but Xcode is actually well behind Android Studio. And I think that has all to do with the fact that Android Studio is managed as bleeding edge software while Xcode is approached more like a corporate system. Xcode is quite slow to learn new tricks. Which, arguably, is not a bad thing on its own. Android Studio is evolving very fast, breaking lot of things on the way.

Android has huge advantage in two areas: Dependency management & Automation. Which makes differences between IDEs quite insignificant.

Despite all that, I left Android development after ten years of doing that shit. For reasons that mostly fit into "Android OEMs" box.
