For native apps it's typically up to the application developer, rather than the
platform, since the APIs don't push developers one way or the other, so I'd say
neither: the platforms havn't have to make a decision so far, but they'll need
to for web apps.

I'd definitely use CRLF if I was developing an Android app that outputs text
files to USB/SD-accessible storage, since most users will access it in Windows,
and Windows users are stumped by LF text files.  (Linux users--and I assume Mac
users as well--have no problems with CRLF, so CRLF is safer.)
