iOS app development focuses on crafting applications tailored for iOS devices like iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch.

Skilled developers use languages like Swift or Objective-C, following a process that encompasses design, coding, testing, and deployment.

Key aspects include prioritizing user experience, optimizing performance, and strict adherence to Apple’s guidelines for app development.

Best Practices followed by Agicent iOS App Development Company

Preparation, Architecture, Tech Stack identification

Foundation of Strong Project:

Before coding, establishing a solid project architecture is essential.

The project’s strength is derived from a well-thought-out architecture.

Key Components of Architecture:

Architecture involves data modeling and flow modeling at its core.

Create and Follow Documentation, Make Project Wiki

Clear Project Description:

A well-defined project outcome description keeps the work on track.

Sets expectations and provides a roadmap for successful development.

Code Documentation Importance:

Documentation of code is crucial for understanding the “how” and, importantly, the “why” behind coding decisions.

Essential for onboarding new developers and facilitating comprehension, especially in larger projects.

Business Logic Clarification:

In bigger projects, business logic can be complex for new iOS developers.

Easily accessible documentation, including a project wiki, aids understanding and efficient project contribution.

Efficient Project Wiki:

Creating a project wiki serves as the best solution for developers.

Ensures future developers can comprehend, understand, and work on the project efficiently.

Follow Apple App Store Guidelines and Rules

Compliance with Apple Ecosystem:

Creating an iOS app involves adhering to the rules and regulations set by the Apple Ecosystem.

Developers must ensure their applications comply with Apple’s guidelines, ensuring a seamless integration into the iOS environment.

Regular Review of Guidelines:

It is imperative for developers to regularly review Apple’s guidelines, as they are updated periodically.

Keeping abreast of the latest guidelines helps developers stay informed about evolving standards, ensuring their apps meet current requirements.

Covering Multiple Aspects:

Apple Guidelines encompass a spectrum of intricacies, including safety, performance, business practices, design principles, and legal considerations.

Developers must have a comprehensive understanding of these guidelines to educate clients.

Common mistakes during iOS App Development – we’ve to Avoid these!

Following are some of the common mistakes being done by many iOS Developers

Need to handle asynchronous code properly.

UI related code should run on main thread and not on any priority thread. This is important to make sure the App’s user experience and performance remains seamless.

Concurrency and Multithreading should be implemented properly. 

Mutable objects should be properly handled.

XIBs should be used instead of storyboards.

Object and pointer should be properly differentiated

Logging should be properly managed.

Leave time and tools for Debugging.

Future of iOS Development

More Powerful Camera, hence more powerful Photo/ Video Apps

Enhanced Camera and Video Quality:

New iOS devices come equipped with significantly improved camera and video capabilities.

Offers a prime opportunity for the development of advanced photo and video applications.

Versatility in App Development:

High-quality cameras open avenues beyond traditional photo and video sharing apps.

Potential for creating applications in healthcare, industry, IoT, policing, and defense.

Specialized Healthcare Apps:

Imagine a camera that scans the inside of your mouth for dentists or ENT experts.

Enables detailed examinations, aiding healthcare professionals in diagnostics and treatment planning.

Skin Analysis and Journaling:

A powerful camera can measure changes in your skin over time.

Users can document and journal skin conditions, fostering self-awareness and assisting dermatological assessments.

Accurate OCR Integration:

High-end cameras can facilitate accurate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) as users capture images.

Allows for the instant attachment of narrated stories or contextual information, enhancing the user experience.

Creator Friendly Environment hence creator friendly Apps

The world belongs to content creators these days, and the iOS Devices currently are widely used for content creation. Storage space to store high fidelity videos for long time, not enough screen sizes for video editing.

Envision an iOS app designed with creators in mind, offering a user-friendly interface.

Facilitates seamless communication, allowing two people to engage in a talk show without the need for external microphones.

The app ensures high-quality audio for talk show participants, eliminating the need for additional recording equipment.

Simplifies the process of content creation and encourages spontaneous, authentic conversations.

IoT (Internet of Things), Home Automation

Home automation is here and so as various devices using internet to communicate with each other and perform functions (IoT).

Future iOS apps will harness the power of amazingly high-speed processors.

Enables faster and more efficient processing, contributing to enhanced performance and responsiveness.

The combination of high-speed processors and advanced internet speeds will enable more robust home automation.

Future iOS apps may automate the switching on of garage lights in response to the doorbell ringing.

Enhances security and convenience by providing immediate illumination upon arrival.

iOS apps will enable users to stream different music in various rooms of their homes simultaneously.
