2. The world is going mobile! The increased use
of mobile devices for various reasons has
propelled several innovations in terms of
mobile apps. We have seen the creation of
mobile apps for mobile security, fitness
assistance, hiring cabs, online shopping and in
many more niches.
#1. Onus on Mobile App Security

3. You would agree that iOS has always been a platform that has
paid the most attention to security in general. This is one of
the reasons for the high prices of Apple phones and even
premium iOS apps.T his trend is likely to continue for iOS
mobile app developers in 2016, even with iOS 9 and further
versions.
The most likely change we may expect to see concerns
Android mobile app developers. As a platform, Android has
always been considered a less secure platform compared to
iOS. However, with the latest Android version (Android 6.0 or
Marshmallow), it seems as though security has become a
major focus point.
#2. Paradigm Shift towards More
Lucrative Enterprise Mobile Apps

4. A global survey titled Developer Economics: State of the
Developer Nation, Q1, 2015 of more than 8,000 mobile app
developers was conducted by Vision Mobile in the early part of
2015. One of the key insights of this survey was that 43% of the
mobile app developers focusing on enterprise apps were making
more than $10,000 per month. In comparison, only 19% of the
app developers focusing on consumer apps were making a
similar income. The percentage of developers making enterprise
apps and earning over $10,000 per month is 18%, which is
double the percentage (only 9%) of developers making
consumer apps.
#3. Cloud-Driven Apps to Be the Way Forward

5. The cloud also allows app developers to sync their apps across
multiple devices. This has become a greater requirement with the
advent of wearable tech gadgets, such as the Apple Watch and
Samsung Gear. The numbers are already huge, as Apple is
currently offering more than 10,000 apps for the users of Apple
Watches. This number will continue to grow in 2016 as well. And,
with cloud compatibility, wearable devices and mobile devices
can sync easily in term of their apps and even app extensions. So,
many future mobile apps could be driven by the cloud.
#4. IoT to Take Center Stage

6. The IoT is set to push mobile app development to a different level.
These are still the early days for IoT, but the innovations involved
considerably increase the scope of mobile app development related to
it.
Wearable tech devices, such as Google Glass and iWatch, have shown
that IoT will open up greater opportunities to include advanced features
in mobile apps, going ahead. For example, there is currently a concept
of a smart car that will require a connection to traffic signals through
some application systems. The sensor of the signal will provide traffic
directions or alternate route directions, accident alerts, weather
conditions, and so on. All this emphasizes the fact that mobile app
development is going to be at the heart of IoT.
#5. Increased Focus on the Swift Programming
Language and Beacon Technology for iOS
