subject: What To Consider When Developing An Iphone App [print this page] The "I" in the iPhone represents the personality of the user. This implies that the functionality of the iPhone can be tailored to user needs. Because of this individualism the market of iPhone application development is emerging.
Apple Inc. took a major initiative in developing the market for iPhone applications. It started the Apple Store, which offers various online applications. This online store invites different application developer to develop the application and sells them in this shop. 70% of the income generated is given for the application developer, while 30% of the proceeds are retained by the company. This approach has not only increased the number of requests for work on the iPhone, but added to its popularity.
The number of iPhones sold to date is believed to have crossed millions. One can only imagine the number of claims that would have been sold and demanded. There are several iPhone application development companies providing customised application. Choosing the right application development company can be made easy by considering the following factors.
Experience:
The application developer must have experience in developing applications. If the developer has little experience, the application project can be completed within a shorter duration. Experience of one or two years should be preferred because it can save time, money and energy. Instead, the lack of experience can ruin everything. The app development company must have sold at least some applications through the Apple Store. The images and links provided by the developer of the earlier application should be studied for effectiveness and efficiency.
Labour:
Developers in the company's development application should be technically very good. The development company should be able to provide a dedicated team to develop an iPhone specific application. The company should ensure that no member of the team will leave the project before the end or midway through the project.
Technical Know-How:
Development Corporation should be technically as strong as the application works not only on iPhone but also other platforms such as Android and BlackBerry. This is necessary to increase the scope of the application. If the application only works on iPhone the company must spend money for the same application to work on other platforms.
Cost:
Before engaging the services of the company for developing any application, it is best to access it within your budget and affordability. Negotiation can lower the cost of the project.
The above considerations if taken seriously can help you choose the company developing the most appropriate application.
