New developers can make iOS app in this way

This blog is for those developers who have just begun iOS applicationdevelopment but do not have complete experience of the process. Maybe, they are aware of the software development process but iOS application development is a bit different. However, one thing is absolutely not different. It is whether you make an iOS app or PC software, both will include three parts: designing, development and deployment.

What different in iOS app development is the approach. Making apps for iOS means you are making software for a handled device like iPhone and iPad. You just cannot involve keyboard, mouse and other external hardware as navigation controllers. A mobile app is operated by one thing that is touch screen. So the entire designing, development and deployment have to be done around the concept of touch screen.

Also, users owning iOS devices are little different than those using Android smartphones. They are a bit sophisticated for their economical position and have different user-behavior.  They are urban and most of them own credit cards which they can use to pay for online products and services. You just cannot expect these traits in majority of Android device users. So if you are making a paid app based on a fantastic idea, don’t hesitate at all.  

iOS is one of the most popular platforms. Devices like iPhone and iPad powered by this OS are much more popular than Samsung’s Galaxy S series of smartphones which run Google as the core software. iPhone - powered by iOS - is doubtlessly is so called smartphones in the global smartphone market. Same is the case with iPad, the most sophisticated tablet device so far.

Let us come back to iOS app development.  So the very first thing you need to get an iOS app built is you understand the ecosystem of the entire platform. You need to know what tools you need to have to code the application for target platform. You will require having a Mac OS running PC for making iPhone application. Apple, the developers of iOS and the manufacturer of iPhone and iPad devices, do offer a complete set of tools which are for the process of app development. These tools are used to create source code, object code, and to debug and test the end product.

However these tools are not available for free. If you want to get hold of these tools, you need to register with the Apple iOS development site.

You will need XCode which is an IDE (integrated software environment) used for iOS application development. This tool has iOS software development kit with collection of lots of frameworks and a UI set of functions. The programming is done in objective-C and with the new iOS programming language – Swift. The IDE offers a work space window to be used by user accessing all the resources.

Once you complete the app, the next step is to get it into the iTunes library. An active community is there to help getting beta testing done for your product.
