Since the past recent years, mobile apps have been changing our lives constantly. Therefore, the mobile app development industry is one of the fastest growing industries.
And it shows no signs of slowing down in the future as well.
Because of enormous popularity and usefulness, mobile apps serve to be a significant opportunity for business development. With latest technological advancements and new inventions coming to life almost every day, it’s not wrong to think that 2019 will most assuredly be the year of mobile apps.
Many entrepreneurs and business owners start planning great strategies for their mobile app development with a desire of capturing and increasing the market share. However, it is not easy to succeed from the first attempt if you do not know what to expect.
After conducting a thorough research by our business analyst team, we’ve identified and listed down below the checklist to a successful mobile app development. Hopefully this checklist will help you succeed in developing your MVP mobile app and start driving revenue through it after market launch.
The checklist simply has 3 questions that you need to solve:
1. Why is MVP important for new product launches?
While starting up a business or launching a new product, have you ever invested time in the initial idea approval? If yes, then an MVP is the right solution to get to work on your idea from the beginning and test it quickly for launch.
Below are the reasons why you need MVP development:
While building a mobile app, you must understand that the whole idea of MVP is divided into two main parts:
2. Which technology stack to choose?
What is technology stack?
As a whole, the technology stack for mobile app development may be categorised into 4 aspects. These are the very areas that come together to form the anatomy of any application.
After you have understood what a technology stack means, it is time you explored the reasons why businesses must sit with the app development professionals or the company that they have hired and discussed the technology stack that would go into building the mobile app.
Which is the best technology stack to choose?
Choosing the best technology stack is sure to affect the immediate performance of the app and mark its future growth prospects. Choosing the wrong tech stack can actually lead to more deep-rooted problems in your app altogether.
We suggest you some technology stacks to read and consider:
Preferred by most companies for their robustness and high performance, native apps present themselves as a near perfect solution when it comes to mobile app development for business. A native app lets the developers integrate the device’s in-built functionalities in their mobile app without having to rely on any external third-party API.
When you think about a native app it is natural that iOS and Android apps would pop up in your head. Now, both the platforms are different in their construct, which means that you would have to choose entirely different technology stacks for both of them.
Though Kotlin is deemed as the official programming language for Android app development, the Android app developers still prefer to use Java language.
When it comes to IDE, the most commonly used software for development purposes are Eclipse and Android Studio. These Android tech stacks have been proven to help the developers rise the total app count to millions and beyond, thus enriching the android app development industry.
Swift & Objective-C are the most preferred languages for iOS app development. IntelliJ AppCode and Apple XCode are the most commonly used toolkits among iPad and iPhone app developers.
When brought together, they form the foundation of a flourishing iOS app industry that has earned respect in the field of mobile apps for their quality and superior user experience.
The standard web techniques that are preferred for hybrid app development include CSS, HTML 5, and JavaScript. These apps are typically sectioned into two portions — backend and native shell. The hybrid apps can run on all the platforms and offer access to API.
The three most commonly used frameworks here are — Cordova, Sencha Touch 2, and Ionic.
Cross platform app development refers to the process of using the same code for app development that can be run on a number of platforms including Android, iOS, and even the web. These lend the businesses with a greater geographical coverage, lower cost of development, and lesser go to market time for the mobile apps.
There are three major technologies that go into a cross platform technology stack — Flutter, React Native, and Xamarin.
We are proud of owning the latest technology stacks, which increases our high competency with other competitors on the market.
3. Which development methodology to use?
We primarily use Agile SCRUM methodology unless clients have specific project management and development styles they prefer to use.
SCRUM is the most widely preferred agile software development approach. Basically, this excellent development is suitable for those development projects that are constantly altering or extremely developing requirements.
The Scrum development model initiates with an ephemeral planning, conference and completes with a concluding review. This growth methodology is used for prompt development of software that happens to include a series of iterations to generate required software.
It is a perfect approach because it effortlessly brings on track the deliberate progressing projects.
