Important Tips for Assured Success with iPhone App Development


iPhone app development holds a lot of promises owing to the quality coding standards, Apple Inc, wants the app developers to follow. iPhone apps stand way ahead of the other mobile app development industry. Though the developers from Windows, Android  and BlackBerry platforms give it a tough competition, it still manages to survive the global popularity of its mobile apps, which serves multiple purposes from all walks of life. Below are some important points which iPhone app developers have to follow to deliver flawless and functional iOS apps.

 

 

  1. Memory management- iPhone app developers have to use programming language C to develop iPhone apps and during this they have to use on of the two memory management methods; Manual Retain Release or Automatic Reference Counting. The former manages memory by using reference counting and maintains a count of your objects, whereas the latter also uses reference counting and performs memory management by inserting the desired method calls at compile time.
  2. Use Interface Builder- Developers prefer using Interface Builder for writing codes instead of writing clumsy codes for User Interface. The app is a part of the Xcode developer toolset and helps in creating user interfaces in Carbon and Cocoa programming. The auto layout features of the Interface Builder provides prompt feedbacks on the flaws during the configuration itself.
  3. Adhere to Human Interface Guidelines- Professonal iPhone app developers, design and develop quality UI and UX for iOS apps by abiding by the human interface guidelines. Unless the app passes all the human interface guideline requirements, it will not be accepted by the Apple App Store. Some important guidelines are product branding, appealing user interface, correct use of navigation, status, tab bars and tool bars.
  4. Create Ad-hoc provisioning profile- iOS simulators are not enough to test the apps. they have to undergo proper testing on multiple device to assure they function properly. For this the developer have to create an ad hoc provisioning profile which makes the app work on different testing devices and not just on the simulator and the standalone device.  Testers can be the client or the app development testing team, they have to install the provisioning profile and the app on their device and launch and test the app. If the app is not working properly, they have to send the crash report to the developers who will work on eliminating the bugs properly.
  5. Data management- Core data is a preferred choice for apt data management in the iOS and OS X. It is a good data modeling framework which comes in very handy in the development of interactive Cocoa Touch applications. It will help with its purpose data management solutions to satisfy the requirements of data modeling all the small and big applications.

iPhone app development has scored much more than other mobile app development platforms in the past years. Business owners are preferring iPhone apps for improving their business over other mobile platforms.
