How to Avoid Simple Mistake During iPhone Application Development

The future value of the app market estimated to reach 189 billion dollars by 2020, apps are at the forefront of business in every sector. Not surprisingly, most companies are in the process of undertaking iPhone application development since the iPhone user base is all set to surpass a billion users by 2019.

However, the iOS app store lays out a strict and severe framework of guidelines that app development companies must follow in order to garner a presence on the iPhone App Store. Non-compliance with this framework can lead to the unceremonious deletion of your app, making it worthwhile for iPhone app developers to be cognizant of these omissions.
 
Here are a few common mistakes to avoid during iPhone application development:
 
1. Error Messages
Apple doesn’t take too kindly to repeatedly occurring error messages that inconvenience the user. Apple is committed to building the most user-centric mobile apps in the market and any diversions from this theme are punished. Commonly occurring error messages such as ‘Error 404- Page not found’ confuse the users, and can lead to the release of your iPhone app from the App Store.
 
HokuApps has an exhaustive repository of pre-built business modules, technology components, designs and connectors built specifically for diverse business verticals and functions. Since these existing formats have been incorporated in a slew of different apps, using HokuApps for iPhone app development can reduce the incidence of error messages that arise in a newly published app.
 
2. Beta Testing & A B Testing
Building a good app is not the only determinant for success in the digital space; they also need to be tested to prove the user viability. An important facet of iPhone app development is beta testing; a term that refers to the partial release of the app to a set of target users before making it available to the world at large. This serves as an effective barometer for market demand as well a mouthpiece for potential users to give useful feedback.
 
The HokuApps platform has an inbuilt communication framework, i.e., a real-time business chat and a notification framework that can be assimilated in any application built on the platform. This feature can prove to be fruitful during beta testing and in the creation of a continuous feedback loop with the end customer.
 
3. Login Options
Traditional login methods of login via email id and password are somewhat tedious considering the multitude of apps prevalent in the market today. Social media login has fast emerged as a simpler alternative to this problem and most new apps adopted this. This, however, led to an unpopular trend in iPhone application development - social media login became the mainstay, forcing all users to sync their social media profiles to apps.
 
Modern-day app users are aware of their cyber rights and are wary of who they trust with their personal information. Hence, forcing users to divulge more than they are comfortable with is the surest way to lose app users. As an app developer, you must offer both options for login. However, the final choice is left to the business owners. HokuApps will customize the apps anyway the business requires it to be.
 
4. Too Many Features
Outlining a clear value proposition is vital during iPhone application development. Without this, developers may go overboard in devising too many features that may not contribute to the core functionality of exciting the end user. Users look for apps that meet their requirements expertly in the simplest manner. Overloading of features can cause the deletion of the app by users.
