Pitfalls that may cause downfall in the career as an iOS Developer

With the latest version of iOS, Apple has introduced a new file System (APFS) that has entirely replaced the traditional 30 years file system that are known to be utilised by the iOS, known as HFS+. The latest version is 10.3, despite that its’ known to be iOS 10.3 instead of iOS 11, it is considered to be the major update. Developers have already started their experimentations with its beta version but with so many latest updates the worst part is having accepted the buggy app by the App Store. The time when one-star review starts rolling up, it costs companies’ irrecoverable money and developers’ their jobs.

Since iOS which is considered to be the very high adoption rate and increases the expectations of the users to get the flawless apps. With the introduction of Swift as an iOS programming language, iOS app development is still considered to be the most affordable yet trendy one. Although the utilisation of Objective-C is still in the place. Swift is although all set to compete with all the attributes with Objective-C, but iOS app developers are not all yet ready to completely switch over to Swift. Hence this article is here to give a better most common mistakes evolving over the concepts above.

Common mistake 1: Not able to able to understand the importance of Asynchronous process

Asynchronous operations are considered to be the fundamental part of any iOS app development in order to seamless performance of long operations without any tension of freezing or even blocking the user interface. It can easily be imagined that whenthe entire app is frozen without any prior intimation to the users and end up the users to get irritated. By GCD, blocks of code can be lined up in a queue in order to execute as needed. 

Hence the common mistake committed by iOS app developers is the mishandling of asynchronous code. Hence this can be easily avoided while looking to hire top rated iOS application Development Company. While conducting the interview, this question must be lined up so that it can easily be judged with developers’ presence of mind as well as experience.

Common mistake 2: Keep indulging with MVC trap

Here the poor implementation of MVC pattern can be held responsible for poor architecture as far as iOS apps are concerned. Hence the significance of MVC concept must be taken into consideration due to already gained popularity over the years in web development. Although, this is a matter of fortune that iOS application development is using the concept of MVC with enthusiasm. Basically the concept is bifurcated into three parts:

·         Model-it consists of data as well as business logic

·         View-some objects that re utilised while presenting data

·         Controller- interaction between data and UI.

It separates speedy development process as it permits designers as well as programmers to work at the same time.

Hence the major mistake committed is misutilisationof ability of the controller to absorb the code in other leftover layers.

Common mistake3: avoid testing on different iOS devices and versions

iOS simulators are considered to be the most desired as far as fast maximum usability is concerned. It has been observed that majority of the iOS app developers do favour to test on the simulators. They are more likely to avoid intimidating tasks of testing with different iOSdevces as well as versions. But it is neglected that touch gestures are more likely to be authentic and real experience can only be apprehended will real devices. Hence iOS apps must be tested on the real devices along with iOS simulators too get the most authentic results.

Common mistake 4: Misapprehension of multithreading and concurrency

Although concurrency is considered to be the most daunting subject as far as iOS application development is concerned. It is considered to be the most dangerous part that majority of iOS app developers generally do avoid. Although there is a gossip passed the world of iOS app development multithread must be avoided. But as far as concurrency is concerned, then it is considered to be the two-sided weapon that must be mastered by iOS app developers in order to write effectively, fast execution and end up with the most responsive apps.

Hence it is capable of independent tasks like data download and calculations from the drive or a web as far as image processing is concerned.

Hence this apprehenceions are mostly found in the startup stage of iOS application development. 

Common mistake 5: paying less attention to memory utilisation in iOS application development

Inspite of the capabilities of the compiler for effectively memory handling, there are huge chances of getting the memory leaked while undergoing the retaining cycle.  Xcode which is included by the performing while tuning in application named as instruments where the application can be profiled will all sort of different metrics. They have various tools like memory usage, CPU usage, and file/network as well as energy utilisation. Hence “Debug Navigator” tab, which is although available in Xcode. Hence the memory usage can be checked with authenticity along with the required details.

Hence these are few of the common fallacies which really can cost your career as an iOS app development and cause irrecoverable loss even to top rated iOS application development companies.
