Developers usually copy and paste code during software development that results in similar patches of code spread in different files. Such type of code clones cause difficulty in making changes and result in bugs. In this study, we want to analyze the extent of the use of code cloning in the development of mobile applications and their effect on post-release bugs. This information should help developers and designers to develop and design better applications and software that present their results to the best advantage.
