5 Important Things To Note When Starting An iOS App Development

Apple is one of the growing mobile platforms that is famous for its supreme quality apps. So, beginning with the iOS apps development is the ideal way to create apps that can run on iPad and iPhone. It can be a great benefit for the business owner.

Due to the increasing demand for iOS developers, it's important that you will have a deeper understanding of the Swift programming language by learning the features such as IDE of Apple and Xcode.

Organizing iOS projects aren't hard if you follow the best practices in your development process like error handling, following interface guidelines, testing before every launch, and signing before uploading to the store, etc. Check out the things that you have to keep in mind for a successful iOS App Development.

1. Interface Layout

Your app must be designed in such a way that the content should fit properly on the screen so that the end-users don't face difficulty in scrolling.

Five things to keep in mind while creating the iOS design:

a) Clearness

Make sure that your text is large enough so that the users can read it easily on their smartphones.

 

b) Friendliness

Your layout should be flexible and automatic. Don't have unnecessary bezels, shadowing, and gradients. Just make your design clear by best focusing on text and images so that it should correctly scale to the screen.

 

c) Depth

Avoid lengthy content and make it to the point so that the users don't feel bored.

 

d) Font Size

Make an appropriate font size for your content for easy user readability.

 

e) Font Color

Take care while selecting the font color. It should not be too light because it can't be visible while going outside in the sun.

 

2. Design User Interface Elements Keeping In Mind The '3D Touch'

Do you know how automatic design works? Well, here is the answer. When any user taps a drop-down item, a list of items is displayed in a popup box where the users can quickly scroll up or down and select according to the need. And after the selection, it moves to the next element instantly.

Let me tell you that the User interface design elements with 3D touch work differently with mobile apps instead of desktops. So your elements must match the platform. So, create standard UI elements visible to the users.

 

3. Use Proper Error Handling

A logical error is the most common mistake that every coder makes now and then. Standard logical errors include bugs in syntax (special characters, numbers, and alphabets). And if your logic is incorrect, it could result in the crash of your app which in turn gives wrong output.

So, iOS app developers must use Error Handling protocols so that the bugs can be controlled immediately.

 

4. Organize An Automatic Project Directory

When you are working on a business-level iOS apps development, you have to organize your project lists. It will help another developer to fix your code. And it is not always required in the case of small projects.

If you don't have organized project directory, it becomes messy which in turn leads to more additional classes and errors in the coding by another developer.

 

5. Your Apple ID Is Necessary

You need to have an apple id for uploading your app to the app store. You sign in your code this is before uploading it to the store.

The sign is your identity as a developer and coder. However, it is free of cost, but you need to pay 100$ annually when you pick to host your app on the store. Just make sure that you follow all the terms and conditions.
