Years of the fierce competition resulted in mobile operating systems duopoly.
Right now there are two major well-established platforms :
iOS (Apples mobile operating system for iPhones, with several branches
the ipadOS for iPads and the watchOS for Apple Watch)
and
Android OS (Googles mobile operating system that runs on varios hardware from Samsung to Xiaomi and Huawei smartphones).
How long does it take to make an app?
According to HireEmployees sales team, an app development takes between 1,000 to 2,000 hours to develop a mid-complexity mobile app. Once again, this greatly depends on the type of app and your developer, but this range includes most development times for medium-sized apps.
What platforms do we develop for natively? Do we develop cross-platform apps?
You want to make things clear right from the first set: for which devices can your chosen studio develop an application for? Do they specialise in iOS, Android or crossplatform (apps that work on both and other platforms by using generic coding as opposed to platform-specific coding). How will the apps be converted from one platform to another? If the app is linked to a website, will the website be optimised for mobile phones? Keeping in mind as wide an audience as reasonable for potential users of your app, both in terms of demographics and in devices used to access it.
Do we cover every stage in the development cycle?
If your app requires a back-end (servers and software), not all studio developers include that in their services. It vastly depends on the kind of app you are designing, but make sure the studio you go with covers all the steps of the app development cycle, or can point you to companies whose services integrate well with the ones they offer.
How can your app generate revenue?
This should be part of your business plan as well as the conversation with HireEmployees.co. Will my app make money via advertising? If so, it needs to be optimised for that purpose. If your app is a storefront, or just driving traffic to your website where the money is made, how will it engage users to come back after their first visit or first transaction? Remember that one of the major problems app developers are facing today is the user churn a small portion of the app users continue to use the app after 30 days since they downloaded the app. This is the kind of conversation that you need to hold with your app developer and make sure you are absolutely on the same page. It will also be one of the first questions a serious app developer will ask you.
How do we communicate during the development process?
A key part of the development process is keeping the client in the loop about how the process is going. HireEmployees make this really transparent, with constant (sometimes even daily) updates. Ensure your chosen app developer communicates as often and in ways which you are comfortable with.
What kind of testing will we do?
This is sort-of the opposite of the question above: its the nitty-gritty, the necessary whittling process which turns a good idea into a streamlined app. There are many types, from stress to A/B testing, and while not all of them will be relevant to all apps, some will be necessary for yours.
Is submission to app stores included?
Submitting an app to the store isnt too hard, if you know what youre doing. Only subscribed developers can submit an app to the Apples iTunes app store, and has strict guidelines on what can and cannot be published. Android Google Play store is more liberal in its guidelines, but it also requires a registration and a fee. Some developer studios do this, others do not: make sure you find out first, and whether the submission fee is part of the price youre paying.
Whats the latest tech we are using?
Beacons, GPS, camera-scans, deep linking, Wifi-Bluetooth integration: the great thing about the app development world is theres always something new being developed or a groundbreaking idea being explored. If you want your app to be cutting edge and really set the standard for those that follow, ask your developer what ideas or technology theyre playing with right now. The development process includes a lot of experimentation, and an exchange of ideas with our developers could lead to the next big thing or a memorable app.
Choosing native app development helps when you want to use native capabilities offered by the platform.
Read MoreNative apps can access the hardware capabilities of the devices like GPS, camera, microphone, which helps in quicker execution of features making it easier to build a rich user experience.
Push notifications are much easier to implement on native development. For example, push notifications to go through iOS Server (APNS) and Googles Cloud Messaging Platform. Native apps have fewer bugs, as the code is compiled in the native language.
Why Choose Cross-Platform App Development?
The market is divided about 50-50 between iOS and Android. Your potential customer could be on any of the platforms, and sometimes on both. Building separate apps for both platforms requires an adequate budget, and not all companies have that. Moreover, developing native platforms can make it harder to offer the same amount of speed and functionality required by your app.
Choose cross-platform development if you wish to align the user experience across all the platforms; you wish to have one development team publishing for both the platforms; and you dont have the budget and time to build and maintain two different apps separately.
Why Choose Progressive Web App Development?
Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) are written in traditional web languages like Javascript, HTML5, CSS, and such. These apps are only accessible through the browser of your device. So, choose to develop a PWA if your user will have uninterrupted access to network connectivity, and they can solve their issues through the browser itself, without requiring any native capabilities of the device like camera, machine learning module, GPS, gyroscope, and such.
With that in mind, lets understand the mobile app development process step by step and get to know everything you need to follow a systematic mobile app development process to build your next great app.
There are two ways to integrate APIs to your mobile application. You can either build it
yourself or you can buy from an existing API provider.
Purchasing a ready API and integrating it is the easiest because it saves time and money
in the sense that you dont need a developer to understand and implement API integration
for you. However, building your own API gives you much more freedom and allows you to
include or exclude features as per your requirement.
Before assembling a team and building your own custom API, it is better to explore the
available options. Instead of reinventing the wheel, simply use what is already available
even if that comes at a cost of saving your time to help you reach the market faster.
