Know Your Customer
You probably would have heard this phrase like a bazillion times and you might even be tired of hearing it again and again but trust me, you can’t have an audience of value if you don’t know who your audience is and what they want. Thus the primary rule for learning and mastering the art of mobile app marketing is to know your customers. Know what they like, know what they dislike, know what keeps them glued to the app, know what keeps them away from the app, know what would entertain them, know what wouldn’t, know what is the best time for you to run your campaign, know for how long their attention would last. Know everything, about your customers, that pertains to your campaign. Most important find patterns in their behavior. It is these patterns that help you save a lot of time and effort while running your campaign.

Fix an Objective
A campaign without a fixed direction has no chance of being successful. If both of your legs didn’t move in the same direction and moved haphazardly in different directions instead, you would reach nowhere, and you would probably end up hurting yourself while wasting your energy. Likewise, if you don’t fix an objective, your campaign is going to cost you a lot of time, money and energy, all of which would simply go to waste. To avoid this, have a clear and concise goal about what you want to achieve with your campaign. Know exactly what it is that you want your campaign to do. And keep pursuing that goal until you achieve it.

Be the Best
By “be the best”, I mean that your app needs to be the best, you already are the best! The experience that the customers get from your app is what decides whether your app is going to be a success or not. It is critical for you to ensure that the quality of the services provided in your app, as well as the quality of your app itself is never sacrificed, and that your app is as good as it gets. This will not only ensure that you get more customers, but also that you’ll retain most of your customers even when you start monetizing your app in the future.

Keep Updating
One of the most important piece of advice that every good mobile app marketer would give you is that keep changing your strategies. Start with something, gain insights, change your plans according to the insight, start with the new plan and keep repeating till success is achieved. Humans are very unpredictable, so something that worked for someone just might not work for you. If a group of people responds positively to something, there would definitely be another group which would respond negatively. Sadly, you never know which group is which in the beginning. Hence it is important to reflect on the results of the campaigns.

Swift

Many believe that the language will be one of the most used languages and has all the potential to reshape the future.

Released in June 2014 by Apple, Swift has gained immense popularity across all the possible realms of the iOS mobile app and Web development. With latest framework and libraries, the tool becomes the primary choice for developers which allows to code with Objective C. The language forays into the apple ecosystem with efficient APIs, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Apple has been ingraining all the possibilities to reduce all the scope for vulnerabilities associated with Objective C. There are so many other attractions when the language is used for coding cutting-edge mobile apps.

According to TNW, Swift is one of the fastest-growing languages. Google is also considering to include Swift as their official language for coding Android apps and if the prediction is true, the demand for Swift developers will skyrocket than any other popular language.

Meanwhile. the language is used to code iOS and Apple web for all the available platforms but since it’s open source and available for use. It will be beneficial for those who pick up the language early in time.

JavaScript + HTML

JavaScript is one of the third most popular languages used world wide to create application up above client could imagine. When used in combination with HTML, the amalgamation becomes more powerful and has greater benefits for mobile apps.Both are religiously used by developers to create different types of application including games.

HTML is one of the most prominent languages when it comes to web development. With simpler ways to insert complex data types, HTML is a preferred choice of top web developers. Whereas JavaScript is popular to be used on multiple platforms.

PHP

HyperText Preprocessor (PHP) is an open source server side scripting language developed by Zend technologies in 1995. Initially, the language was used for building websites but now it’s used for general purpose programming.

server side scripting, command line scripting and for coding applications. Using PHP, the app can be used to write complete Android, iOS, and windows apps.  According to many statistics like Jobs Tractor, PHP is the most popular programming language. The percentage of developers located worldwide that use PHP language is 78.6%.  It ensures that the language can easily be considered for building your next app.

C#

C# is known as C Sharp. It is a multi-paradigm programming language, which is object and component oriented. It’s a general-purpose programming language developed by Microsoft. Appeared first in 2000, C# is developed and introduced by Microsoft as Swift was introduced by Apple and both share a common characteristic to rule the world of mobile app development in coming years. Developer Economics Survey states, 38% mobile developers use C# for part of their work while 16% use C# as the main language.

BuildFireJS

BuildFire.JS leverages the BuildFire SDK and Javascript to allow developers to rapidly build mobile apps with the power of the BuildFire SDK & BuildFire backend along with JavaScript seems to be a great combination by top mobile app developers worldwide to develop apps. BuildFire.JS was built to have a flexible architecture to give developers the option to utilize any client-side Javascript framework they like including: jQuery, Angular, React, Underscore and many more.

With BuildFire already having plugins that cover 70% or more of the common business use cases, developers only need to build specific functionality that’s unique to the client, rather than build the whole thing from scratch. This helps a development team to prepare mobile apps in less time and labour.

At BrainMobi, our professional developers are experienced to perfectly match the compatibility of a language with the theme of the mobile app.

Which language out of these is your favourite? Mention in the comment section below.

Characteristics of Mobile Application Development

In contrast traditional desktop applications, mobile apps demand service every month to provide an immersive user experience to valuable customers. Here is a list of challenges posed for top mobile app development companies while using Agile approach:

• Short life cycles
• Short development cycles
• Limited hardware
• Frequently changing user demands
• Must be easily updateable
• Must download quickly

All of these characteristics collectively bring more tension for top mobile app developers to carefully choose an approach which can reduce wastage of labour & time while bringing a sign a relief for both clients and development agencies. But how it would be made possible to build high-quality mobile apps across such mayhem around development approaches? The answer is Agile development.

What is Agile?

Agile application development is the approach of developing a product where the whole process is divided into a series of development cycles. In fact, when using Agile for mobile app development, the entire array of tasks is divided into multiple sub-tasks, each of which is a separate mini-project for the development team.

Assignments are distributed to the concerned team of experts as well as teams are also divided to follow the agile methodology. Each assignment is a piece of job and treated as a unit of an independent project. Under the influence of the agile approach, companies successfully reduce the scope of development risks, including errors to a great extent.

Agile applications development also accounts for regular communication within and between groups; constant interaction, both in project development environment and between customer and contractor. This means that if a customer or project leader suddenly raises new demands to the product, it bears virtually no effect on the time spent and app marketing. Changes that are commanded, as a result, are further assigned to one of the teams which do not slow down the project as a whole.

Why use Agile?

When choosing a development approach, it is equally important to understand the advantages. With the Agile methodology, below are the following qualities :

• Constant supply of valuable client software;
• Ability to make changes to the project and to put forward new demands to it at any stage of development (even before the release);
• Constant close contact between the customer and developers at all stages of the project;
• Regular delivery of the project’s software elements;
• Comfortable working conditions for both developers and the customer;
• Priority information exchange method is a personal conversation, which gives opportunities for all participants of the project;
• The main indicator of Agile implementation success is the high-quality working application;
• Developers, customers and sponsors have the opportunity to control and maintain a constant pace of work;
• Constant contact and control gives possibilities for permanent improvement of the product at the design stage;
• Usage of self-organizing teams to minimize the extra work;
• Self-organizing teams performing particular tasks, often give better results than a large team dedicated to everything at once;
• The presence of individual units that perform individual tasks is a guarantee of rapid adaptation to any new conditions to the project.

Developed and formulated in 2001, Agile Approach has been in use for 15 years to the day, during which it proved to be functional, effective and relevant. The method was used in the development of many projects, including most successful and well-known. Today, the Agile method is the basis of productivity in many prosperous IT companies.

How we follow Agile?

When we begin a mobile app development project at BrainMobi, we break down functional requirements into user stories, which then become the foundation of our app development schedule. We usually work within the framework of two-week sprint sets and iterate continuously until we reach substantial milestones on the mobile app. Sometimes this includes an incredibly large number of business requirements. We’ve worked on projects with as many as 3,500 requirements. Agile development makes it possible to break down all these requirements into smaller, manageable chunks.

Before That we Will See, Why There is Actually a Need to Port iOS App to Android?

If we see the previous year statistics, we will find that there is a significant increase in the number of android users. More and more people are showing interest in Android devices, which resulted in huge investment in Android version of iOS apps. The owners of iOS apps are discovering that they are missing out on a large market, and it is must to port iOS app to android. It is better to focus more on freemium strategies and in-app purchases rather than making it a free app.

Android market is open to all and there is no restriction on what your app can do. This might affect how you want your android app to be designed. The app updates are almost instantaneous, which means there will be only a few users who are not satisfied with your app.

Things to Consider When Porting iOS to Android

You need significant adaption when porting iOS app to android. We recommend you not to use design tools that are intended for iOS. Most of the common app design tools provide iOS templates and you may think that they fit the android platform as well. However, one should know that porting iOS app to android will lead to conflicts between the ported app interface and design of the android device. There are many contradicting features between iOS and Android, such as – buttons, lists, tabs, date/time, widgets, navigation etc.

The next thing to consider is fragmentation that is derived from different screen resolutions. You should consider app’s data and graphics to be displayed both on small and large screens, considering vertical as well as horizontal layouts. Though you can ignore some of the older versions, you should consider 10% of screen resolution. Some of the popular versions of android system are – Ice-cream sandwich and android 2.X, KitKat, Jelly Bean, Lollipop and Marshmallow.

Android Design

Now, once you have decided to port an iOS app to android, you should consider thinking android design. The problem is that there are many iOS tools that have iOS templates and designers use them to design android apps. However, the designs conflict with the feel and look of the app. It will take a lot of effort and time to implement. Moreover, there are problem areas such as round buttons, tabs at the bottom, lists with right pointing arrows and so on.

To avoid these problems, the first thing you need to do is avoid using iOS design tools. Just use drawing tools such as Photoshop, Visio, Balamiq next etc. If you want to get a quick overview of android UI, you can check the official website of Android. Google also has created a page describing how to design for pure android app. 

Should you Adapt New UI?

With the changing algorithm of Google, it changes the way apps can be architected internally for smartphone and tablet layouts. Google provided compatibility library that allow the latest UI elements to run on new and old android devices without changing the look and feel of the app. When re-designing the app for android, you should focus on how the data and graphics will be displayed on screens of different sizes.

Google strongly recommends following the UI language known as “Material Design”. This will help android audience get familiarized with common UI. Material design has a few common UI elements that have better support for developers.

How to Export Graphics?

Android has a different graphic asset and you need to adapt your app’s graphic assets for android. This means, you need to resize, export and name new files. It can be a bit easier than exporting assets for iOS. For instance, if you are exporting .png images, you should consider grouping the assets in different sizes 1X, 2X, 3X and 568h@2X. It would be a big headache to create precisely sized assets for each android device. Hence, the best solution is to scale assets to correct size for relevant device screen. This could be one of the reasons why graphic images on android are not as crisp and beautiful as they do in iOS.

Code Porting

The next thing to consider is the code porting, Check if it is possible to take objective-C or recompile it for android. The android apps use Java and if your iOS app uses Vanilla C, it is possible to reuse the same code for android. This is beneficial for porting complex libraries as well as to enhance the performance of the app.

Some mobile app developers make the mistake of sharingembedded UI designs into the app. Sometimes, the specificationsinclude UIs that gather information to be sent to social networking apps. There is no need of such sharing for android apps. Instead, mobile app developers should consider using action_send intends to other social networking apps.  This means users should be able to share to other apps and there is no need to write a separate code against server-side sharing APIs.

In short, it is essential to consider which characteristics of your product are time-sensitive and use the programming tactics accordingly.

How Long Does it Take to Port?

Since the app has already been developed for iOS, it will not take much time to port to android. Though porting seems to be a straight forward process, it is not quick. The time to complete the porting process will depend on the complexity of the app and selection of supporting devices. Device inconsistency will create surprise for the mobile app developer, and hence even a small change will mean additional time for porting. Different devices use different hardware components which causes your device to interact with OS and hardware in an unexpected way.

How to Submit the Ported App at Play Store?

Once the app is ported successfully to Android, it should be submitted to Play Store in the similar way it is submitted to iTunes. You need to provide screenshots, regions, ratings and other details about the app to the developer. Go through the guidelines of submitting the app to Play Store. Google will review your app and approve or reject it on the same day.

Conclusion

There are many mobile app developers who have huge experience of porting iOS app to android. To bring amazing results, the template for app porting should have – adaptation plan formula, UX testing, source app business logic analysis, proper coding & testing, etc.

At BrainMobi, we have ported several apps from iOS to android and have huge experience in android and iOS development. The porting process can be a smooth sailing, if you understand how to prepare the assets for Android before you start!!

• Apple Watch (2015–2016)
  
• Apple Watch Series 1 (2016–present)
  
• Apple Watch Series 2 (2016–present)

Watch model comes in a 38- or 42-millimeter body with the 42mm size of screen and battery.

Apple Watch Series 2 models are divided into different collections and all are differentiated by the combination of cases, bands, and exclusive watch faces.

Apple Watch helps the user to access information in a way that is both distinctly personal and unobtrusive. With just a raise of the wrist, users can receive and respond to notifications. For instance, as shown in the image below that how our basic day to day activities could be webbed with smooth automation.

Continuing to evolve technology, last month at WWDC 2017, Apple introduced iWatch OS4 with new features to bring more impact on our daily routines with more comprehensive functionalities. Features like new first party Apple Watch faces, including a Pixar’s Toy Story effort and a smart Siri face etc. All these features and much more make Apple watch an incredible product to use across different activities throughout the day. Along with these built features, there are many brilliant apps which provide users with important, helpful, and impactful information in the most immediate, convenient way. Such factors make the concept of a smartwatch even more popular than before as offers uttermost convenience.

But still, there is a crunch in a number of apps available on Apple watch store. If we compare the number of Apple watch apps to the 1 million-plus apps in Apple’s App Store or Google Play for smartphones, and you begin to see the challenge.

To maintain equilibrium between usage and supply, top Apple Watch app developers follow the good rule of thumb by keep exhibiting commendable job while dishing out enticing apps at user disposal. But as Apple is known for its quality and user experience, developers would need to go that extra mile to make a big cut among other top rated apps.

Let’s peep into some major areas of concern responsible for culminating the whole Apple watch app development process into a great success story.

Tips to develop successful Apple Watch App

Do you have an idea for a revolutionary Apple Watch app? It is important that you don’t get carried away with your thoughts, but rather think in a strategic manner.

Here are some tips from top iWatch app developers that help in gaining that extra niche to build an app for Apple’s most personalized wearable device:

1. BrainStorm your App Idea

Before you revel in fantasies of the monumental success, you must first organize your strategy on basis of what category it fits into. By categorizing your app, you are keeping a mental footnote for its practical purposes and usage. It also helps in smoothly slide up the process successfully into the next stage of planning. Some prominent categories that will simplify your app design process:

• Productivity Tools

  These calcify the backbone of app categories and embody the digital tools that help people accomplish more each day. These apps include schedules, calendars, alarms, progress trackers, finance apps, and other tools that help you get organized and get ahead of things.

• Communication/ Social Media Utilities

  These apps are responsible for making texting and calling quicker and cleaner on the Apple Watch. Communication tools are always being updated to replace or enhance traditional communication.

• Health and Fitness Apps

  This is the fastest growing category in both the Google Play and Apple App Store. Keep this in mind when brainstorming app ideas that the Apple Watch can also be used as a wearable fitness device. This type of technology has garnered enormous attention from health freaks and fitness preachers as the most informative and accurate exercise companion. As compared to other tools available for download, Fitness and Health apps are relatively new and unrefined. Many top iWatch app developers are taking advantage of new features and committing their resources to create the most effective apps while exploring bio-sensory and GPS technology.

2. Keep user actions simple

The way a user interacts with the Watch app should be kept to an efficient minimum.

Apple watch is all about things that would take between one and three seconds.Tracking time using simple choices such as a yes-no or start-stop actions, suits the wearable format perfectly.

The concept of binary actions is actually highly recommended by Top iWatch developers as that provides best user experience while interacting with the watch. At BrainMobi, we really took that to heart and design apps around that concept for exemplary results.

3. Make a solid smartphone app

App for Apple watch is very different from merely transporting a copy of a smartphone app to the Watch. This is an important consideration which many developers forget that  Apple Watch is intended to be a companion. Therefore, a large portion of development work needs to go into building a smartphone app that pairs seamlessly with the Apple Watch app.

4. Choose the right look

Compared to the iPhone 6 at 4.7” or 5.5”, the Apple Watch only has a display size of 38 or 42 mm, the smallest devices in the market as compared to other cousins. This means you’re simply not going to be able to get as much text on the screen at the same time as you can with a mobile app. Chose the colour palate wisely which complements the available real estate.

A distinctive colour palate is important. The black background of the smartwatch means you need to get the colours right. Fluorescent colours intuitively seem to be a good option because of that black background.

These points are definitely worth taking the time to get right, so don’t rush through building an app just to get onboard right away.

For help with custom programming and designing from certified developers, reach out to BrainMobi to convert your idea into an enticing app.

5. Keep in Mind: Apple Watch is Not an iPhone or iPad

Always remember, Apple Watch is not a miniature version of iPhone or iPad. It comes with the smallest real estate when compared to any other smart device. You need to consider the dynamics of the small screen during Apple Watch app development.

While developing Apple Watch apps, rise above the clutter and unnecessary information. Stay away from unnecessary alerts and messages that might distract users and try to simplify the user’s experience. Keep notifications short and concise for a greater impact. Apple Watch is available in different sizes and bands, and, as a result, it makes sense to offer app themes that match with available bands.

If your app is overly complex and performance-intensive, it is likely to be lost in oblivion in the Apple Watch App Store. Apps on the Apple Watch are specifically designed for lightweight interactions to leverage the limited screen real estate and display size while utilizing the watch’s strategic position on the wrist.

• Evaluate their talent and experience

Once the coast is clear at budget and services front, peep into the developer’s work and a list of their associated clients. Client feedback could also help you to gain a good insight into one’s work ethics and professionalism. Make sure to thoroughly evaluate those projects with your interest of work. Give preference to the development company that passes the evaluation with flying colours. The company website, Portfolio, client feedback and rating etc are some of the sources to squeeze out required details.

• Consider the Work Logistics

Your compatibility with the chosen app development team in terms of execution style also holds great importance. Interview each member separately to rate their work style and process in accordance to yours. Skillset compatibility helps to accelerate the whole process with amazing results. Possibilities are maximum that teams which share technical compatibility end up collaborating on more than one project. To head with that perspective, underline this point to get hold of a strong partnership.

• Zombies VS Ninjas

A team which adds valuable inputs & drive the whole development process to another level is one of the several quality you should look out for. Prefer to choose agile processors that deliver much more than you expect. This quality only reflects in people with good work experience and never give up attitude.

          Tip: PingPong lovers deliver more agile and spontaneous work. 

• Maintenance and Support

Both Developer and Client team generally ignore this term. But product maintenance is as important as any other parameter. Many times it brings quarrel across the whole collaboration just by missing the discussion. To avoid any conflicts at the end, it’s recommended to go through support clause at length before signing on the dotted line.

Still not sure? Give us a chance to understand your requirements and deliver at par excellence while developing your app. Our app & web developers are well versed in working with latest technologies and process user-friendly mobile architecture.

He shared a fun fact that coincidently F8 and recently released movie “Fast and Furious 8” share the same notation. He also mentioned his regret for not being able to bring THE ROCK on the stage to discuss breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. With some striking announcements at the event, Day -1 wrapped up with great enthusiasm among attendees and billions of people tuned in from different online channels. This blog is a recap of some key updates from Day – 1 of Facebook Developers Conference.

F8 2017: Day 1 Opening Notes

AR Studios – Experience the excellence of AR in real time through your camera

The event started as Mark Zuckerberg pointed out his desire to bring “extend the physical world online” and asked the audience “think of how many things in our life don’t need to be physical,” before using the monitor behind him to detail a world of virtual chess, or watching TV — sounds riveting.

He also pointed out that the Facebook team is rigorously working towards enhancing real time experience by integrating more of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality across various features.

Using SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) technology, Zuckerberg gave a demo of a bowl of cereal with sharks circling the bowl, bobbing up and down through the table as if it were water. It was impressive AR experience and shows just how powerful SLAM is in detecting the most minute of location details and mapping it to add digital incredibility to real-world experiences.

Image Recognition – With Better Features

Facebook CTO, Mike Schroepfer took over the stage next to talk the other highlight feature of the event – Image Recognition. This time the company has upgraded the technology to recognise multiple objects in an image and (mostly) mask them accordingly. And with the help of a technology known as Mask 4-CNN, Facebook can tell the computer (or human) exactly orientation in relation to the scene. Just released last month, Mask 4-CNN gives Facebook to remove an object entirely from an image in near real-time. Schroepfer showed an example video in which he was able to remove a windsurfer entered the scene and display only the ocean behind him.

Facebook Spaces – VR Feature

Head of Social VR, Racheal Franklin took the stage to introduce Facebook’s First Social VR App, Spaces. Her commencing words at the Facebook Annual Event were “VR is a naturally social platform, and we’re building it with people at the centre”. Spaces allows a user to interact virtually with connected people on Facebook. Using Spaces, you can connect with up to 3 people to watch 360 videos together, hold a virtual game night or show off new home to family and friends.

Messenger Platform 2.0 – With Spotify and Apple Music Integration

FaceBook VP of Messaging product closed the keynote event. He revised all the four updates since the release of Messenger and how every update helps people to get more involved with Facebook. For instance, Messenger bot helped many retailers to elevate their business sales rates and customer service. In a new update, both Spotify and Apple music will make a debut for a seamless transition between vividly followed apps. He also put forward his desire to “invest in discovery” to provide users with more comprehensive features.

For more updates, stay tuned with BrainMobi.

The day-2 highlights of Facebook Developer Conference will be shared in our next blog.

Acronym for MEAN –

• MongoDB database
• Express JS that is used as HTTP server framework
• AngularJS as front end JS framework
• Node JS to provide concurrent JavaScript environment for building scalable and fast web applications.

MEAN Stack Concept

Let’s check out what are the advantages of using MEAN Stack, and how top MEAN Stack developers use it as one of the strongest weapons for developing world class mobile apps and websites:

1. Use of JavaScript throughout the project makes the code isomorphic.

Javascript is one of the most popular languages across the world with numerous benefits. By going MEAN you can enjoy having that same JavaScript on the client. For instance, If you write a code for Node & decide it’s better placed in AngularJS, you can move it over with ease. This is the reason why MEAN based apps are flexible to code. Plus, you need not have expertise over other different languages like PHP, or a frontend and backend specialist, One JavaScript specialist can successfully handle the entire project using MEAN stack formula. Top MEAN Stack development companies consider the stack of technologies in MEAN an elixir to uplift excellence in app and web development projects.

2. JSON everywhere

JSON is used both in AngularJS and Node JS. Even MongoDB is the component based relational database that allows you to store documents in JSON format. MongoDB can successfully communicate with Javascript notations. But MongoDB is used only for Small to mid-sized companies whereas MySQL is used for Large projects. Top app developers chose MEAN Stack frequently at numerous stages of app and web development. At BrainMobi, we frequently render MEAN Stack development services across app and web development projects.

3. Open Source

All the technologies used in MEAN Stack are open source and are available for free to use. It reduces development cost and helps culminate the development approach using useful libraries and public repositories available online. Top app web developers post their queries on such open portal to get solutions from other connected experts across the globe. At BrainMobi, we consult our repositories and libraries built and maintained under supervision of well-versed workforce. Our top MEAN Stack developers greatly contribute to that knowledge resource.

4. Cloud Compatible

In case your project requires to implement cloud functionalities within the app, MongoDB is a good option to choose. This makes M in MEAN a profitable share to have. Given the ease with which apps can be developed, tested and maintained on cloud leaves no reason to use MongoDB in your project. This reduces the cost of disk space.

5. AngularJS as frontend

AngularJS is an open source client-side Javascript framework that has been creeping into many projects for a bit while now. Top app developers chose the language to power front end of projects. At BrainMobi, we mainly use AngularJS for front end integration as it helps in resolving many issues when making reusable, maintainable or testable client-side applications powered by Javascript. AngularJS framework is a set of powerful directives that evolves into domain-specific language, keeping things highly testable and reusable. This technology highly influences the significance of MEAN stack development.

As every technology has its own advantages and disadvantages, you do not have to be a slave of the acronym. Any technology mentioned in the stack can be easily used in combination with other as per the requirement. But consider the MEAN stack, If you want a stack that’s rapidly improving, easy to collaborate around and easy to learn.

Let us sprinkle the goodness of MEAN technologies to bring more power to your project.
