Reason for
Developing iPhone Apps
With its day-to-day innovations in iPhones and iPads, Apple
has built itself a Kingdom in the technologically inclined world. Apple holds a
huge share of the smart phone market with its single product called the iPhone
and its versions where as other companies have been constantly.
If an application wonders the reason for him/her to become
an iPhone app developer then the only reason to be shown to him/her is that
iPhone leads the smart phone market with a single product and there are
millions of users looking forward for applications for various requirements of
theirs. Even independent iPhone app programmers generally have a mindset of
wanting users from all over the world to use the applications developed by them
even if they have developed it for personal purposes.
The approach of Apple which has taken it to such great
heights has been its simplicity in every aspect of business and development.
This simplicity is consistent throughout the Apple enterprise which consists of
products, frameworks, etc and it expects it from every iPhone app programmer
developing an application for iPhone and other Apple products.
Multi-product
Coding
An iPhone app developer, while developing an application for
a product of Apple for instance iPhone, writes thousands of lines of codes. The
advantage in developing applications in this way for Apple is that it uses a
single platform for all its devices such iPads, iTouchs etc and once an
application is written for a single device it can be integrated with all other
Apple products may be with few small tweaks.
Object C is the foundation platform of the coding part used
to develop iPhone applications by all iPhone app developers. Object C enable
the core working part of the framework but for driving the interactivity in the
application iPhone app programmers have to use Cocoa Touch, the programming
framework.
User
Interface Components
Status Bar of an application
is one of the tabs that is present in an iPhone’s User Interface which is
developed by iPhone app developers to display certain information regarding the
device such as battery remaining, signal receptive bars, phone carrier, and
other functional components. It is recommended for new iPhone app developers to
understand this and add these functionalities.
Navigation Bar enables
users to navigate control from one page to another in page hierarchies. This by
default includes a button on the left top corner of the application, developed
by an iPhone app programmer, which when pressed will take the control back to
the last page view or the last application respectively.
Tool Bar option
is present in the bottom of the application but this can be placed according to
the iPhone app developer’s discretion. The toolbar consists of advanced options
of Sharing, downloading, deleting etc.
Tab Bar is very
similar to tool bar but now all options are displayed in tabs. The tabs are
highlighted and a glossy hover state is activated when a user clicks on a tab
from another tab. This enables users to use multiple functionalities
simultaneously instead of starting direct functionalities.
Essential Basics
These User Interface options are the most basic advantages
an iPhone app developer as to know, to build an enhanced application deeper
knowledge and understanding is much required.
