Mobile app development: The global
facts and truths

When we time-travel from the years when computer used to
be the most intriguing wonder to through innovative
trajectory to the present moment when mobiles are
influencing the way we live life, you will realize that we have
traced quite an epic journey. And what an exhilarating ride it
is! The first model of computer was discovered almost 60
years ago, and elapse of these many years showed us that
when size gets compact, things get even more exciting.
Remember that giant screen with intricate jumble of
transistors and wires? What a relief it is to feel such a
mammoth world reduced to a palm-fit digital device!
So we are going to talk about that mini magic called mobile
that has changed the way we touch, feel and sense the world
around us, and even beyond.

Mobile means a world to us!
If you own a Smartphone, you keep carrying around the
most agile version of computer that treats you with the
power to minimize the distance between you and people
and things lying far from you. As the time progressed,
these mini digital computers became more affordable
and handy with introduction of tablets, smart watches,
fitness bands, Smart home, robotics, Automatic Energy
optimizers and much more. So if you are thinking to quit
technology from your lifestyle, it is something next to
impossible.

You go everywhere (be it shopping malls, multiplexes,
coffee shops or amusement parks and clubs); you will
never fail to observe people fumbling with their smart
devices. Mobiles are used for most of human needs:
communication, research, transactions, banking,
entertainment and gaming and virtual hangouts. What
is more interesting is the fact that mobile alone with
only internet connection is not enough. With different
apps coming into mobile market every day, witty quips
like ‘there is an app for that’ don’t seem exaggerated
now.

The mobile app development market means
opportunities galore
The growth of mobile apps is also opening up whole new
opportunities for mobile app developers who with their
expertise and detailed research build apps that define the
trends and appeal to specific group of people. As the
demand for mobile apps soared, companies that own the
operating systems feel the need to open their platforms for
mobile app developers to build the apps that can be
downloaded by more than usual number of users.
This presented an opportunity for both OS companies as
well as individual developers who leverage their
development skills to earn more independently through
publishing apps in popular app stores like Google play store
and Apple store.

Apple opened its SDK to iPhone app developers in 2008
and the result is an estimation of 1.5 million apps
published to the Apple App store.
In the same way, Android SDK was made available to
Android developers in 2007, which reflected in form of
nearly 1.6 million apps on Google Play store.
Eventually, Microsoft made their resources available in
2000 under the name of PocketPC to get nearly 340000
apps on Windows app store.

The good news for mobile app developers
All these instances of mobile OS companies becoming
magnanimous for mobile app development process
demonstrate that the market for apps building is ample.
As a result, there is an unbelievable rush in mobile app
development jobs and Developers who make those apps
gain a big deal out of it. This scenario is not going to fade
any time soon.
Business feel especially inspired to mobilize their
marketing operations and promote their products by
building tailor-made apps. Their usual web presence is
not adequate to engage customers and their mobile
websites must be able to fit the mobile screen since
people are using internet services more often via their
mobile devices.

Mobile App building platforms and innovations
The most popular kings in the app development
platforms are iOS and Android. Hence, most of the
development jobs fall into the lap of either Android
developers or iPhone specialist. Whatever platform you
choose for your business, you can be conscious of highly
competent mobile app developers whose creativity,
strategy and analytical research give you a real-time
advantage.
Native apps and Hybrid apps are two kinds of apps used
to establish optimal user engagement based on its
reach.

Native apps are developed for a particular device and its
OS and has the caliber to avail available device-specific
software and hardware like camera, GPS, scanner,
compass, people of contacts, social accounts and many
more.
Hybrid applications are a blend of both native and web
applications allowing developers to rely on technologies
like HTML5, CSS, JavaScript to build hybrid app for mobile
devices. Here developers can use cross-platform coding
that is configured to work on different platforms.
In Android development, Java, C++ are the most preferred
languages to build native apps. Since C++ is faster than
Java, it is used by Android developers in combination with
Java to boost the performance of the app.

In case of iOS apps, iPhone developers can use Objective C,
C++ and C languages to build the app. The combination of
several languages is the choice of any developer as it helps
push the speed and performance of the app.
Appple’s Swift has transforms the mobile app development
and is faster than any other language. Launched in 2014, it has
been said to push the performance of processing speed
hardware devices.
The number of platforms used for building hybrid apps are:
•Phonegap
•Mobile Angular UI
•Ionic
•Intel XDK
•Titanium
•Sencha Touch
Kendo UI

The Hybrid app development is glorious among development
companies and Hybrid mobile app developers because one
can build and launch the app without altering anything about
its code base or need to learn different technologies and
languages. However, when it comes to experiencing the app
performance, hybrid apps are unable to overwhelm the reach
and influence of Native apps.
