subject: Restrictions On The Development Of Iphone Application [print this page] In the field of iPhone development, you will find iPhone is the perfect platform or device / gadget for the "killer application i.e. the applications which can be the good way to increase the revenue" to sell and get rich. Same thing applies for the iPad applications as well. But wait, all is not as easy as you can see. There are restrictions on the iPhone by its maker Apple, which may have a negative effect on your business plan. Consider the following before the introduction of hard work for your own iPhone application development.
The first limitation of the Apple is that "single application should run simultaneously." This means that if you surf the Internet, and if somebody calls you, you have to leave to participate in surfing. Suppose you're on a secure server, and you often have to leave the page, it becomes a puzzle for you username and password each time. It seems the problem? So iPhone application development can be a complicated concept for any newbie.
Yes, it's something the developers to think too much. Suppose you have developed a GPS application, which needs continuous support from the user to collect data on their specific geographical location is a barrier again, the same application, and continue to ignore calls all are important to you. This makes the results of the request is vague.
Dont develop the application of any third party in your application background
another restriction is "no third-party application running in the background." This means that IM is unable to collect messages for you when you are on an important speech. It shows you when you are connected to another application. This is true for any application that communicates with the Internet, or to update periodically the proper functioning be useless here. Even at the level of the application proves to be effective or useful for a lot less than they would otherwise.
Application Control
The iPhone development involves the role of Apple Store is made of applications for targeted marketing. No person shall distribute applications for free, and the same application should not come to Apple for marketing purposes. It not only serves as marketing point for developers, but it can be rate for iPhone application developers.
You have permission to take the entry by registering as an Apple iPhone developer. Apple has the complete rights for the releasing date of your application. There are new threats for you, they can reject your application or to make a significant delay in the release. This can lead to fatal consequences for the entrepreneur as well as the application developer.
Lockout
Apple can control the vertical developer of iPhone applications and it can easily remove the certificate. You might ask, how is it related to the development of applications, if it already passed? You're right, but you know that all applications for Apple's iPhone as a legitimate, signed a certificate of "Cancel" No request for a certificate signed this place anywhere. It was really a shock to their paying customers.
Not supported in earlier versions
"Applications are aimed at beta versions of iPhone OS 3.0 and can not be checked before the final release of the OS 3.0"
"It must be installed only in facilities dedicated exclusively to the development of applications O.S. i.e. iPhone 3.0 Beta"
"Devices such as iPhone 3.0 update does not restore the previous beta versions of the iPhone operating system so it might be risky for your current applications compatibility with the new O.S."
"The iPhone 3.0 SDK can be used for submission of applications from the App Store for iPhone OS 2.2.1"
All this has two important implications. If you are a developer of the iPhone, you will have two development machines and the two can work to your iPhone OS 2.x applications based on the verification code OS 3.0 upgrade.
