My Android plays ".mp4" files just fine. However, I'm almost certain that it won't play ".m4a" files. I don't have any ".m4a" files, on my smartphone, to test that, but I'm almost certain that when I try to play one I get a message that says "file type not supported," or something to that effect. I delete the file when I come across one (maybe not such a good idea, though---there may be an app that can be installed that will play them).

The Apple audio is in a mp4 container so will play if you rename the file from .m4a to .mp4 - there may be some exceptions but the .m4a files I come across have always worked if just renamed. If ones audiobook reader does not support .mp4 then it can be played in ones video player.
But note that many android audiobook reader apps will play .m4a files - I use Smart Audiobook Player which does (and mp4 too).
