Challenges faced by developers during iPhone App Development
Over these years, Apple has come up with so many different devices like iPhones, iPads, and iPods, with iPhones being the most popular and commonly used ones. The popularity of these devices of iOS has made so many businesses build their business applications for these. But the Apple guidelines are quite strict. Building applications for iPhones is not that easy as you may think. iPhone app developers have to face so many challenges during the development process.
Some of these challenges are briefly discussed here.
Device compatibility:
Apple frequently comes up with new versions of the iPhone and with every new version, users get to use and enjoy more advanced features and functionalities, both in terms of hardware and software. And because of this, developers have to keep on exploring and learning the new features of the latest versions. This helps them to build updated applications every time so that the applications are compatible with every new iPhone model and version.
Storage issues:
You must have seen that there are so many applications that take a lot of space in the phone’s memory. Users generally do not prefer to keep using such heavy applications as these can slow down the device as well. Now, building a quality iPhone application that consumes less space but is enriched with all required features can be a challenging task that developers need to overcome. Building a compact yet feature-rich application can bring the maximum users, and this is what a developer needs to keep in mind.
Battery and app performance optimisation:
iPhone applications that tend to consume more battery power are uninstalled sooner by the users. An iPhone application developer needs to make sure that the app does not execute any procedure, which can keep on sucking the battery power. The developers need to look upon the battery and performance optimisation factor before launching the application on the iOS App Store.
Meet the high expectation of users with a great user interface and user experience:
Because of the crisp and striking UI and high-quality UX, iOS is considered as the first choice of users. This makes it essential for the developers to build apps that look impressive, innovative, high performing, and are feature-packed to meet the demands of the end-users and offer them a great user experience.
Apart from these, the developer needs to overcome the problem of getting rejected from the iOS app store. Apple follows very strict guidelines and is very particular about the quality of applications. There can be many reasons behind the rejection of your app from the iOS App Store like:
- The poor performance of your application
- Lack of information included in the app that can be the metadata, app description, graphics, etc.
- Poor security can be a reason for rejection too
- Substandard or poor UI and UX that is if your application UI looks clumsy, congested, cluttered, messy, and complicated-to-navigate, there’s a high chance of getting rejected from the iOS App Store.
- Copy things from any existing application. Maintaining uniqueness is important as per the Apple guidelines. Research competitive applications but never copy. Keep everything unique. That’s one of the keys to getting approval from the App Store at one go.
If developers can overcome these challenges, then there won’t be any such reason to get rejected no matter how strict the Apple guidelines are. Keep these in mind if your next project is an iPhone application.
