Mobile applications are attracting a huge concentration these days, and with this recent trend most of the companies are trying to come up with mobile applications to promote their business. The mobile applications are being used for different reasons. Sometimes the applications are used for the branding purpose. But there are lot of apps that actually provide the users an easy access of the products; like live TV streaming, media apps, news & information related apps etc.
The iPhone and the iPad can be considered together for app development. Simply because they use the same operating system, iOS and the SDK 3.2 of Aapple allows one to develop an app that can be used in both. The business logic can be the same, however the GUI can be different based on the screen size, resource etc. Definitely the cheapest option is to develop a single app for the both than developing two different apps.
Some of the apps in iPhone need only a single mode either the landscape or portrait. The choice of the mode depends on the complexity of the app. This can save up to a 10 per cent of the app development cost.
From a developer's point of view a uniform content for both the device is the most important. So I believe in keeping the views uniformal. For an example the same view can be followed for the lists, search results and also the bookmarks.
The other important point to remember is that while compiling the contract you should consider the following points:
1. Approval time: Once an app is submitted to the App Store, Apple normally takes some 2 to 3 weeks to check whether the app has followed Apple's guideline. Then in case of a negation they will provide you a list of issues that has should be taken care of for the final approval.
2. To develop an application the developer is supposed to register at the apple development center. So as the customer you might like to submit it for yourself simply because you are the one paying for it. You should make a note about it in the agreement.
3. To render a cost effective approach you can hire the freelancers for a small project. But for medium and highly complex projects you should do a deep search to find out a reputed, and reliable outsourcing firm. Most of the outsourcing firms have the options to choose your web developer. However you can effectively hire a developer on an hour based contract, or a daily, or weekly basis. You can also go for a monthly contract in case of a complex and lengthy project. Almost all the outsourcing companies appoint their own project manager to work in your project. So managing the project is not going to be a big issue in such cases. Communication is also not a problem as the outsourcing firms use the latest communication devices, such as telephone, voice & video chatting through internet, VOIP etc to provide you a 24*7 service.
The iPhone application development has become quite streamed line these days. You can hire the outsourcing company at an affordable cost and can get your app developed. The applications have been proved to be quite useful for entertainment; like watching a movie, listening to your favorite song, playing games etc. Along with having fun you can do your business using the utility apps.
