'Is there anything better than iPhone Application Development?' That has been the bone of contention for iPhone programmers and application developers worldwide. But the point is -why? What makes iPhone Application Developers take such a fancy to iPhone Application Development?
For one, it's the Demand.
The clamor for the world's hottest gadget is nothing short of revolutionary. Right from the man on the street to the uppermost social echelons, the desire to own an iPhone is universally shared. And that's where Apple's biggest achievement lies: it turned the user ecosystem on its head and roped in a global audience. Naturally, iPhone App Developers see this as a massive opportunity to strike gold and this is the single-most reason iPhone Application Development will scale higher and wider.
Then again, creating a universal audience isn't some overnight magic. It takes some doing. What did Apple do right that others couldn't?
It pinned down the pulse of the modern consumer and reinvented something that the world badly wanted-Design. Design and style has been Apple's game all along; it still is. Apple never jumped tracks. With iPhone, Apple changed the smartphone form factor forever. It built the iPhone solely around 'design'.
Apple then took out time to wean out the past. In its early days Apple was extremely uptight on iPhone App Development and used to wave third-party developers off. If you look at the basic SDK which was release in 2008 and the SDK which in use right now (4.3), you'll find the dramatic difference. Apple played a masterstroke by opening out to outside developers. Just give the Apple store a quick once-over to get the drift better.
iPhone application development gets much steam from the amazing compatibility of iOS. Look at the vast application genre the iPhone caters to. This eggs on developers to explore new avenues, head on. In fact Google, one of and Apple's biggest rivals realized a missing iPhone presence meant losing users in droves. And thus, we have the iOS Gmail app.
With Siri, Apple quite uncannily waved in voice-control, making everyone in the game seem lowballed. That's the thing with Apple: It's inventive and intuitive. Inadvertently, this rubs off on developers, and ingenious, groundbreaking custom iPhone apps pop up time and again. Then again, Apple leads by example itself.
Take the iOS user interface-- an aspect Apple has unmatched parallels in. The nippy and fluid user interface is worth every moment spent on the device. Apple has also augmented file management and coding methodologies, advancing to the highest levels of user-friendliness.
Apple has been covering lot of grounds lately on minimizing developers' effort. It wants iPhone app developers to enjoy iPhone Application Development with minimum legwork. That's why most iphone apps-business, entertainment, games etc---are now covered by the base SDK itself; most of the time there is no need for any external APIs.
