What is the process of making an iPhone application?


Apps used in the Apple’s iPhone have a big market. Various kinds of apps related to entertainment, social networking, games, health and many more. They are very popular and used worldwide.
Applications in the apple iPhone are based on iOS. These apps are developed by several steps, which are:



Idea – First you need an idea for you application. As they say, it all starts from a great idea. First, you must think, what will be the purpose of your app. It may depend on your client’s requirements. You can involve your users to get more ideas. When you form an idea about your app, you can move on the planning step.
Plan – Once you decide the purpose of the project, you can start planning. Collect your resources and materials and also plan your expectations. You must plan your marketing strategy also.
Graphic Design – You have to decide the design of your application. Designer can do the work for you. It includes the style, view, fonts, colors etc. You can discuss with the designers, how to make the design more user friendly. These apps will be used on iPhones, which is a touch phone, so they should be easier to use on the screen. The design, whether it is landscape or portrait, must be decided in this step too. The design must be simple too, so that the users do not get confused. If you are planning this app for both iPhone and iPad, then make sure that the design is compatible with both devices.
Development – These applications cannot be developed without the help of Software Development Kit For iPhone (SDK) and Xcode. These are the developer tools for building any kind of app. The Xcode 4 of apple includes many tools such as SDK and Xcode IDE for the coding and debugging of your app. In it, interface builder is used for designing the user interface. There are many other tools included in it for making the project better.
Deploy or Release – With building your application in Xcode, you need to deploy it. For that, you must get a distribution certificate and provisioning profile. Admin within your developer program membership can create this certificate for you. Provisioning profile authorizes your apps with their IDs. Without this profile, user cannot use the application. In distribution between the users, a web server or third party mobile device management solution can help you.
Recently tech giant Apple introduced its own programming language called ‘Swift’. It is future programming language for iOS and OS X projects. It can work side by side with Objective-C. The iPhone app developers in New York  and all over the world are welcoming this new language. It can make coding easier and more fun to work with.
