Client caters to a VVIP customer base that highly emphasizes on exclusivity, privacy and quality.
With this in mind, client required an application that would transform the way his consumers shop,
while also enriching their travel experience. He expected an iPad application that would serve his
consumers with shopping catalogues, from topmost brands and merchants, and entertainment
magazines. Client expected an application that:
• Offers a rich user interface for impeccable user experience
• Provides animations that would add to the browsing pleasure

Planning
The following development approach was adopted to equip the site with numerous features
and functionality mentioned before:
• Introduces high level of server and data fetching technology.
• Research and analysis has been scheduled to get the actual level of output of data, which are
in a form of different verticals and business logics.
• Development – High Level Coding Standards has been followed for managing backup data
volume, simultaneously synchronization with server for recent updates.
• Syncing existing and newly available data for backup with our database required specific
attention. This helped in result generation.
• The User Interface Layer, which forms the Graphical User Interface of the website
Development Highlights
This application for iPad was built around objective C and SQLite framework. The design for each
screen is implemented using the storyboard framework, which is newly integrated Apple’s iOS 5.0.
Almost all the modules were developed using foundation, core graphics and UIKIT frameworks. All
User Interface components were placed in view controllers using storyboard. All the view controllers
were linked with controller files project along with the outlets, actions of the UI element. SQLITE
framework was used to maintain and store all the details locally. The site was developed and fully
functional within a span of 3 months.
