What is expected of dev support?

[cgibsong002]

I'm considering going with either the m8 or s5 for AT&T. I'm not looking for a which phone is better. Just curious what kind of dev support is expected with this device. How was the development with the original one? Are there any considerable differences with official help from Samsung vs HTC?
