Probably because iPhones are pretty cut-and-dry whereas there's millions of Android devices, and tweaking the game to work on all sorts of devices, ain't no rehash dev got time for that. Less time to beta-test across devices for optimal functionality, resulting in happy developers.
Also the Play Store is a totally different ecosystem. This is a "Pay once and play" game that Square is charging $14 for. Most people on Android, when they see that price tag would rather just start hunting for the installer file on seedy sites - and you don't need to jailbreak or anything to do that. The Play Store's better suited for F2P titles with ingame transactions, unfortunately. iOS is a little more bolted shut, securitywise - sure, there's jailbreaking but the average consumer can't do it as easily as you would on Android.
Plus Square knows that Apple People would gladly fork over much more money anyway. 8D
