subject: Common Mistakes In Iphone Application Development And How To Avoid Them [print this page] The Apple iPhone 4 brings a completely new perspective of the Smartphone with its powerful features and open source application development platform, enabling a wide consumer market to engine and interact with. The versatility of iPhone applications is mainly due to its openness to perform, easy and convenient development of applications and diverse opportunities for cross platform functions which ultimately makes it viable for viral applications. Still, developers find it difficult to understand why their application fails to achieve its mark and respond to the basic requirements of user-friendliness and intuitive designing. Overall, such iPhone applications developers commit some common mistakes of development that leads to unsuccessful iPhone applications that fulfils neither the purpose to business or to the developer. Commonly committed mistakes include over inventing of the applications, using wrong resolution and animation and ignoring the application of multitasking. However, these common problems can be resolved with a little caution making iPhone applications, better and more intuitive.
The iPhone applications require development process that can fulfill the iOS SDK, having an extensive library of UI elements these applications seems easy to develop and this is the reason expert developers prefer latest version of iOS for development. Therefore, there is a minimum need to invent objects on your own as you can borrow from the existing UI library. Some developers of iPhone application invent the entire app on their own; resulting in more consumption of resources and generating less efficient result, also making the process more complex and unreliable. This mistake can be corrected by using a right blend of developer generated UI elements and already existing elements from SDK.
The next mistake most developers fall is in the graphical element usage, making the application on too low resolution or using elements that are not appropriate with application resolution. The applications offering stunning 2D and 3D effects for immense graphics now require High Definition experience, therefore a right resolution is the key here. Yet, making the application condensed and overloaded with large graphical files can make the app slower, therefore a right proposition of size and resolution is essential and the best way is to utilize the latest SDK for optimizing the application.
Thirdly, iPhone application development requires animation in right quantity, this balance is vital to develop a balance in usability and viewing. Most iPhone application developers overdo or under-do the animation process, making application either cluttered or non-appealing. Deciding the correct quantity of animation is crucial and must be taken care of. The next thing many developers pay no attention to is the latest function of multitasking of iPhone 4. When your iPhone application development is optimized for the old version of iOS, you require a revised application version to iOS4, that could enable users perform multitasking.
These mistakes might seem small, but are very common and causes major damage to the usability of the applications. Not many developers are aware of their mistakes and if you want your iPhone application development process to become bug free, then you require specialised developers.
