Happy New Year! We hope your holidays were great and you\u2019ve managed to return to your work routines.<\/p>\n

Beginning this year with some happy news, we\u2019re thrilled to share with you the record-breaking sales that your favorite Apple\u2019s iOS App Store made this holiday season. According to a recent Press Release by Apple<\/a>, the new year\u2019s day sets a record with $300 million in purchases from their app store. Starting the Christmas eve, the whole week witnessed a record number of app purchases and app downloads from the App Store. Only in those seven days, Apple earned $890 million<\/strong>. Remarkable, certainly.<\/p>\n

Get an iOS app developed in 2018<\/h2>\n

You seriously need to have an iOS app for your business now because your audience is very active on the App Store and expects to see you there. And if you already have an iOS app, make sure your apps are up-to-date and ready to make an impact this year, aligned well with the latest iOS 11.2.2 update<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can reach out to our expert iOS app developers for your next iOS app development. <\/em><\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s iOS has changed the face of mobile app development and takes an early lead in developing mobile apps that are creative enough to change people\u2019s lives. Apple\u2019s ARKit has been a game-changer last year. Among the various gaming, shopping, education and social media apps that the iOS lovers have invested in the new year\u2019s, the ones enabled with augmented reality features have acquired the top spot. Customers are relishing a good number, close to 2,000 ARKit-enabled apps on the Apple Store.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, there\u2019s no denying that the newly redesigned App Store with iOS 11 pose various challenges for the app developers today. Considering the iOS app development requirements<\/a> and app store guidelines, Apple wishes to see more sought-after apps equipped with more advanced tech and features.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019re few of the iOS app development challenges that developers will have to face in this year. It\u2019s better that your iOS app developers brace up with the right solutions to overcome the following challenges:<\/p>\n

Application compatibility<\/h2>\n

Older apps stop working once Apple turns off support for 32-bit applications, with the release of new version of iOS. This is a common practice at the App Store. Unlike Android, iOS releases frequent updates and the apps may slow down your Apple devices or will stop working if they aren\u2019t updated regularly. This is a major challenge for the app developers because every time they need to update the app to the newest iOS version.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong> Creating an app that\u2019s compatible with the latest iOS version and then testing it for the new versions demand extra efforts from your iOS app developers<\/a>. Also, with several Apple devices including iPads, iPhones, Mac, you need to ensure that your application is compatible all products.<\/p>\n

Performance and memory limitations<\/h2>\n

Memory management is a heck of a task in iOS devices. No prejudices, but an Android developer<\/a> is far more fortunate when it comes to device memory. iOS app developers are hog-tied to the iOS device storage limits. So, you have to constantly work to maintain a balance between the device resources and the app\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong> Lay focus on developing liter versions of the app to run on iOS devices just like Facebook Messenger, YouTube, Twitter and many others, <\/em>such that they don\u2019t engulf much of the device\u2019s memory and battery.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a great tutorial on how to create a lite version of an iPhone app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Getting it approved by the App Store<\/h2>\n

At App Store, you\u2019re competing against 2.2 million apps<\/a> now. Any run-of-the-mill app won\u2019t be vouched for by the industry\u2019s top community of developers.<\/p>\n

Most app developers and app owners have concluded that one of the biggest roadblocks in deploying an iOS app is the approval from the App Store. It\u2019s tough. Seriously!<\/p>\n

While Google Play takes around 4-6 hours to approve of an Android app, the iOS community needs a minimum of 4 days to give you the green signal, which is also subject to a strict guideline structure. With a simple rule violation, your app may be rejected.<\/p>\n

Solution: <\/strong>Before launching iOS app, gain in-depth insights into the App Store guidelines<\/a>. Invest a good time in reading them so that you make an accurate effort in the first run. There are a lot of rules you need to adhere to- app completeness, content codes, intellectual property rights, accurate metadata, developer information and much more. Re-verify everything before submitting your app.<\/p>\n

Beta testing<\/h2>\n

Yet another common hindrance while working on iOS app development is the beta testing. Apple firmly believes in releasing beta tests for every version rolled out. Your app must pass all the beta tests done at various stages in app development and also when there is version upgrade, thereby validating that your app is ready to work fine in the next advanced iOS version.<\/p>\n

Solution: <\/strong>Never stop testing. After the release of every new iOS version, put your app to test and make sure that it doesn\u2019t break down every time there\u2019s a new iOS in the market. Rework on your code and deploy only when you are sure the app is bug-free.<\/p>\n

iOS 11 has a lot more to offer to the developers, to the users and to the business owners. To stay ahead this year, make sincere efforts in this direction by picking the right iOS app developers, who are smart enough to handle these challenges and take you up in the race.<\/p>\n
