The making of a perfect iPhone application


It’s about the process of making an iPhone application. The very first thing you will need is a good idea. There are infinite numbers of ideas, seriously. But not all ideas are worth implementing or not all developers are able to implement all the ideas. Until an idea helps users or solves an issue, it does not qualify for iPhone application development.

Get tools of development


Once you have a valid idea to make an app, the next step is to gather all the required tools. You can make a checklist of all tools you have or will need. There are few certain tools the development process will not progress without them. The first step for gathering tools is you become the member of iOS Developer program. Apple says it is the “The fastest path from code to customer” so go accordingly. The program costs $99 yearly. Next step is to buy iPhone and iPad Touch devices.


Think about your skills, make a checklist


After gathering all the tools, it is time you think about your skills. Thinks about the areas of iPhone application development process where you are exceptionally good. You can also make a checklist of all your skills. With clear idea about your own ability, you will be able to hire those skills which you do not posses.


Research the market. Dig it deeply.


One of the major parts of any iPhone application development process is research. You need to look at all those apps which are performing well. Find good and bad things about them. You can also make a list for same. This will help you mark out all the positive and negative aspects of the top mobile apps.


Decision on price and monetization


You also need to take a decision for price and monetization of the app. Price your app attractively so that users can easily pay for it and download in their devices. Choose such model of monetization that suits your business.


Who you are targeting?


You must know who you are targeting. It’s about the audience for which the app is being built. You should have a clear idea of audience. Many developers consider this factor first and then decide the idea. Will your app target kids or adults?


Social Media integration


Social media is everywhere. You just cannot ignore it. More and more people are using social media for sharing their views, thought and content. Why don’t you integrate social media in your app and allow users to share it. In a gaming app, for example, you can integrate social media icons of Facebook and Twitter which will let users share their update with friends.
