Mobile Applications Development Overview

Benefits of Using Mobile Apps

• Convenience: A mobile app user can access and share information anytime or anywhere.
Internet connection is not required on most apps.

• Personalization: A user can change the settings of the mobile app based on his preferences.
He can also receive notifications real time.

• Productivity: Users can write, read, and present their reports using only their mobile phones.
They can also manage their multimedia files and share to friends through social sites.
Development Environments

• An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a programming environment that has been


packaged as an application program.

• An IDE typically consists of a code editor, compiler, debugger, and a GUI builder. • Some of the
IDEs used in developing mobile apps: o Android Studio is the official IDE for Android application
development, based on IntelliJ IDEA (a Java IDE). o Xcode allows users to build apps and run
them directly on their Apple devices. The programming language used is Swift, created by Apple
for iOS, OS X, and watchOS development. o Xamarin extends the .NET developer platform with
tools and libraries specifically for building cross-platform apps. o Corona is a free, cross-platform
framework ideal for creating mobile apps and games. It uses

Lua, an easy-tolearn scripting language. o Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile


development framework that allows use of standard web technologies - HTML5, CSS3, and
JavaScript for cross-platform development. Challenges in Developing Mobile Apps

• Understanding the market and the user: The current market scenario must be studied and the
needs of the target users must be addressed.

• Supporting multiple screen types: Devices come in different sizes and shapes, which affects
how you design the screens and UI elements in your apps.

• Maximizing app performance: The performance of an app is affected by factors such as


battery life, multimedia content, and internet access.

• Securing users: The users’ data is the most valuable asset. Users' sensitive information must
be protected at all times.

• Remaining compatible with older versions: Not all users may have upgraded or may be able to
upgrade their devices.
App Development Workflow

1. Setup: During this phase, you install and setup your chosen IDE. This is also where you create
an emulator and connect hardware devices, which you can install your apps.

2. Development: During this phase, you write code, design a UI, and create resources for
different device types.

3. Building and Running: During this phase, you build your project into a package that you can
install and run on the emulator or an Android-powered device.

4. Debugging, Profiling, and Testing: This is the iterative phase in which you continue writing
your app but with a focus on eliminating bugs and optimizing app performance (profiling).

5. Publishing: During this phase, the app is configured and built for release and distributed to
users.
