With brands, both big and small showing keen interesting in app development, the choices have increased and this is what the buyers need to watch for as the choice is to be for someone capable and competent. The amount of money that goes into mobile app development would vary to an extent as there are many that would make sacrifices with functionality and security.
 
Mobile App Development – The Process Described In Brief

Mobile application development is a process familiar to software development as it too revolves around writing code; the only difference is that this time the display mode is on Smartphones. The code written is as per the processor of the device and this is why you would find app development divided into categories such as:

1.  Android App Development 


2.  iPhone(iOS) App Development 


3.  Windows App Development
 
With companies making apps for back end management, sales, customer interaction and much more, the service provider is to be chosen carefully.

Things To Consider When Choosing A Mobile App Development Company

With mobile apps outpacing computer based websites, the need is for a service provider that would bring your ideas into life, setting path for goals to be met in the near future. Not every app out there is a successful one and this is the thing that you need to keep in min while making out the pick. Always go with the agency that has developed chart topping apps lately as this would guarantee you that results would arrive.

Before you move ahead comprehend your goals, if you just want to create a buzz about your brand or give it a launch pad on these devices, you can settle in for an agency that has a super creative team in place. Decide on the amount of money that you wish to spend and then start exploring out the options coming your way, remember, comparison is the key here.  With enough mobile app developers in the market, go with the one that promises you something special but not at the cost of brand's repute and budget. 
 
The agency that you choose needs to have a creative and smart team that masters the art of creating and engineering versatile and practical mobile apps.The need is for quality design and development and this is the fact that needs to rule your search.

Swift is a language used by developers to build iOS applications for iPhones and iPads and other Apple devices. Swift was used specifically for iOS mobile app development, and different techniques were used for android devices.But it will soon become available for android app development, and workarounds already exist to allow developers to use Swift for android.
 
How does this benefit developers?


Currently, other than a workaround, you cannot develop one mobile application in Swift that will be suitable for both iOS and android mobile app development.
 
So if you need an app that works for people on both types of devices, it means either developing two separate mobile apps or foregoing a bespoke app for each in favour of a slightly more generic mobile app that will function on both.
 
One means more money (two separate apps) and the other often means some loss of function (if you're creating a 'fits all' app, you cannot build specifically to a device). Even the second option still involves additional development and testing to ensure the app works well across each device.
 
How do the changes to Swift benefit clients?


If developers can spend less time doing something that works on more devices, these app development time savings can be passed on as cost savings to the client. Developers can only offer what is available, and as programming languages progress, we are able to do more within the budget.
 
When will Swift be available for android?


Apple announced plans to open source Swift in the summer. This means they will allow developers access to the core language, allowing them to make changes to suit their needs, and it is this that will facilitate android app development with swift.
 
The idea behind it is that it makes the language more useful, and therefore more people will learn how to use it, and if more people are developing for iOS, more apps are on iOS, and more people will want to buy those phones and tablets.
 
Currently, Swift is not yet open source, but should be by the end of the year.

Eastpoint Software Android and  iOS Mobile App Development Company UK, Cambridge and London . At the start of a project, you will need to consider which device or devices to build your app for. You will often be asked this early on, as it is an integral part of estimating the project. For mobile apps, one of the main questions is whether you want it for Android or iOS.
 
Sometimes the answer is made for you, but often it's a choice, and one you might need a bit of help on.

What is most used – Android or iOS?


Both Android and iOS are popular in the UK, but slightly more people are on Android. It is understood to have overtaken iOS devices in 2012. Both are widely used. The amount spent on apps is higher for iOS, although money spent in the Play store is going up.
 
So Android app development is best to reach more people?


Maybe, although there are other factors to consider. Android is used over a huge variety of devices and brands. So in theory, that's a huge amount of devices to test. In reality, just like with iPhone, you can chose which devices you want to make your mobile app available to.
 
It doesn't mean it can't be used on other devices, it just means you are not marketing your app as supported/tested on all phone, just specific ones.Obviously, if you already know your target market closely, or perhaps have a customer that has already explained that the app will be used on iPads, your decision is made for you.
 
Are iPhone apps or Android apps cheaper to develop?


Let assume you're picking between either purely iPhone or Android app development (ie, you're doing one or the other only).
 
Is one cheaper to develop than the other?


You would likely expect the app development to be roughly the same. However, resources needed for testing can be different. There are finite iPhones and iPads to test on within the Apple brand.

Is there a way to build one app and adapt it to suit both Android and iOS?


You can develop a more neutral app that can be easily adapted across platforms. The benefits are that you can reach more people for less money. The downside is that, since the app needs to work across two platforms, there will most likely be some compromise involved.
 
There more about this in our previous article about hybrid apps, plus some more on Android and iOS app development options.
 
Other types of app


While iOS and Android are the most popular systems that apps are built for, others include Blackberry and Microsoft.

As we've discussed before, mobile phone apps can be created for Android, iOS (iPhones etc), or both, as well as for other (less used) devices. When building an app this is a fundamental question, and a decision you will likely make early on in the project. Should I build my app for iPhone or Android?
 
What are the statistics – which is most used?
