Getting your app into the iOS App Store can be tricky. Here are some tips for each step of this process to help you find success with it!
iOS is the most popular mobile operating system in use today, with over half of all smartphones being run on it. Unlike Android which has more lenient rules – developers have to follow these stringent guidelines when building apps for iOS users
1) Plan & Sketch Your Idea:
First of all, you need to plan what your app is going to be and why would people choose that over others in the market? If these are done right then it will save time for everyone involved. Refine out ideas with guidance from a project manager who can help guide technical specifications as well!
2) Research:
It’s important to know what app you think will be the next big thing. Find out if there are any similar apps, research their design and technical requirements. So you can market your product accordingly.
You should spend some time researching it. By Developing anything, progress in technology makes things easier from time-to-time.
3) Create Wire-frames:
Wire-frames are UX (user experience) roadmaps that illustrate the various ways a user can interact with and navigate an interface. They also contain an information architecture blueprint, which tells you where each element of your app’s layout falls within the overall structure so it all makes sense visually as well as conceptually for readers/viewers!
4) Design:
To create an appealing visual design, it is essential to have an intuitive UI and UX. The designer needs to work on screen features like icons or graphics as well as generate prototypes for the development team at this part of development.
5) Software Architecture Planning:
A key stage in the development process is where front-end and back end developers collaborate. They do this to make sure that your application will be stable, scalable for you as well as also meet all functional requirements before moving onto design.
The Model-View-Controller paradigm is a core principle of iOS app development that breaks down into three components, including the user interface or screen; data about your application’s functionality and use cases for each context in which it can operate
6) Front-End & Back-End Development:
The coordination of front-end and back-end development is an important part in creating a cohesive app. The design elements created by the code are meshed with what’s happening on your computer or device while you using it, which creates immersion for users who want to experience everything at once.
Front-end app development includes:
- Caching of the database.
- Synchronizing the database.
- Development of mock-ups and wireframes.
- UI design and development.
- Improvements, if needed.
- Testing.
- Deployment.
Back-end development includes:
- Setting up the back-end structure.
- Management of user accounts and authentication.
- Maintaining server side functions.
- Customization of user experience.
- Data integration with third parties through social networking sites.
- Push notification services.
7) Testing Phase:
Apple’s approval process is tough, it’s no wonder that this step in the app development cycle can be critical. Developers go through each function on a screen-by-screen basis. they’ll make sure there are no bugs after testing.
- Test case preparation.
- Automated script identification and modification.
- Manual and automated testing.
- Usability testing.
- Performance testing.
- Security and compliance testing.
- Device testing.
8) Submitting the App to the App Store:
It’s not easy to get your app live in the App Store. As it takes a few steps:
- Create an app Id, or Identifier.
- Create an iOS provisioning profile for distribution.
- Configure your target’s build settings in XCode.
- Create an App Store listing.
- Create a release build.
- Fill in the version information.
- Submit the version for review.
- App release.
9) Maintain the App With Regular Updates:
Keep your app up to date by installing the latest iOS updates. This will ensure that you have access of its features, even when there are new ones being added in future releases!
If you want to be more successful, it’s important that every step in the process of idea generation and execution has been planned out.
