iPad Application Development and iPhone Apps Development Story - Part 1

I have been writing from some time now regarding to iPad Application Development and iPhone Apps Development. I am going to cover view from development industry and will ask some questions to CEO of one of the well-known company in Mobile App Development and Mobile Game Development industry. I hope this will help you to get an idea of the current market scenario and also how you can convert your iPad app or iPhone apps idea into reality.

I ran into this guy last week and seeing the opportunity I shot some questions. His Company’s name is Morpheous and they have been doing some pretty good job when it comes to iPad App Development and iPhone Apps Development. So, here is what I discussed with him. To start with his name is Shalin Shukla and he is man of his own, putting up the company on top spot in Mobile and Web based development. I asked him, that what he thinks of the fiscal year of 2012-2013? Where the world is moving towards? This is what He has to say “Well, I think as you already know that mobility of hardware is now a days become very important and so as sharing and accessing your software also. In more general sense, people are getting sick of sitting at one place and working the day off, they want to move around and hangout but still do not want to get disconnected”

“So, what I think is 2012-2013 will bring more affordable and innovative devices which will add to the mobility, and so as new apps and new games, to keep people busy with their fingertips” that was a bit of expected replay, obviously he is not going to open his all cards of what he thinks of the market actually. So, I shot another one “What you think about market now? Where it stands for iPhone Apps Development and iPad Application Development?” This is what he answered “Currently we see stability in the market with respect to iPad Apps Development and iPhone Apps Development and do not see much increase or decrease for the same. Same applies to Android. We get some good requirements for both platforms and I think the trend is going to go on for some time”

iPhone Game Development and iPhone Application Development from Client's Perspective - Part 3

In my previous both articles I have discussed about converting your idea into requirements, explaining it to development companies and also to short list and choose development companies for iPhone Game Development and iPhone Application Development. In this part I will provide information on how to do follow-ups and also what if there will be conflict in middle of the development of your game, how to resolve the issues and get game completed? I hope this will be useful for you to understand the development procedures and also to maintain relations with the development company and eventually get more dedicated time for your idea.

So, what is next once you have given your iPhone Game Development or iPhone App Development to any development company? First thing as mentioned before you need to take care of is you stay in touch with concerned person via Email, telephonic conversations should be made and actually must be made, but emails are best way to have summary of what you have talked, so in future there will be no doubts on who has listened what from the conversations and also what works or changes need to be done. Second thing is the communication frequency. I suggest you do not bug or rush development company with everyday questions, but you must ask about the progress of the game every once a week. If the company is like Morpheous you will mostly get updates once a week, mostly on weekend but again, if Development Company fails or delays in updating make sure you ask for regular updates.

Third important thing is time and punctuality of the development going on. From updates you need to make sure everything is going and getting done in the way you want, as especially from look and feel perspective. You also need to keep track of timings for the development done and make sure the company is not lagging behind the schedule. As being inside the development it is ok to have 15% of +/- contingency, but more than that is sign of delay, unless there are changes or additions. Forth important thing is in-case of additions or updates or changes, there might be situation where company will ask for more money for the changes or additions. Here you need to be cautious and deal with maximum intellectualness, it is possible that changes might increase time and so as costs.

I will discuss in next part of the article on how to tackle this kind of situations and also some more information on the end game of the development.
