5 Tips For a New iOS Developer

Starting as an iOS app developer can be a bit discouraging. The reasons include different languages, frameworks and practices. You have to wrap everything in your mind before developing an iPhone app or iPad app project. 

Often time, new developers are clueless where to start from. Here are some excellent tips / tricks help you how to begin with an iOS app development.

Use the iDevices you want to create apps for

Until you own an iPhone / iPad you want to plan an iOS app for, no tips/tricks or guide can help you. You need to learn everything about the devices for which you want to build apps. Without knowing ins and outs of iOS devices, you will not be able to know their features, functions, benefits, drawback, and ultimately what should actually be in an iPhone or iPad application.

 

Think from user’s mind

Whether the app you want to create is for individual users or business users, you must have details what exactly they want to see that an app. In fact, you need to think from user’s prospect. You need to pay close attention on user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), and evaluate whether users will be able to use apps with chosen UI and UX. Menu style, buttons, and several other elements should be planned in way so that users can access the app with minimum efforts.

 

Stick with the proven tools first and slowly use new technologies

When it comes to choosing tools and technologies for iPad and iPhone application development, there are more than one option available. Tons of frameworks are already there and many new ones are launched time after time.

But as a beginner developer, you must learn the basic and core things about iOS application development so that you never get stuck in the process of the project. It is seen that new developers get distracted by new technologies and tools being introduced. They use these tools and technologies without knowing their advantages and disadvantages and put the whole project at risk.

Keep code and files organized and labeled

As it happens, a software project requires a lot of code and files and so is the case with iOS development too. You need to learn organizing and labeling files, and code so that they make sense not only to you but also to others.

 

Test, test, and test some more

Apple is very strict about its guidelines and an app even with minutest thing offending these guidelines is rejected. You should check your app for errors and bugs to avoid rejection. Adhere to all the guidelines Apple has fixed for an app before publishing it in the App store.
