May 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Last 10 years have been great for mobility (http://www.mobileapptelligence.com#mobility%20solutions). There has been a consistent shift from web based applications to mobile apps development (http://www.mobileapptelligence.com#Mobile%20Apps%20Development). Branding, growth, marketing strategies are all connected to development of mobile apps. Delivering mobile apps, which can create the value for global audience is a challenging task and mobile app developers must have constant attention to technology shifts, global business tends and user inclinations.

Mobile app development revolves around the idea / concept and this moving to development before completing the tasks on the drawing board can cost dearly. As a professional mobile app developer (http://www.mobileapptelligence.com/mobile-app-developers.html#Mobile%20App%20Developer), one must give proper attention to drawing details, product outcome and target audience. This is certainly important to stay ahead of competition. Below are some other points, which carries equal importance -

Native or Cross Platform

This is one top call. One should know about it even before starting designing mobile app (http://www.mobileapptelligence.com#Designing%20Mobile%20App). The type of audience, free or paid and several other parameters are there to decide it. A business app, which is also responsible for branding, should be done native. Look n feel on every device is key to business.

Technology Know How

Mobile app development is a fast growing domain. Mobility is changing the face on a yearly basis. Upgrading knowledge is a must to stay ahead. For example, phonegap is used a lot of mobile app development companies today to develop cross platform mobile apps. Keeping right focus on technology at right time is key.

Coding Standards

To keep the development timeline aggressive, mobile app developers used to hardcode a lot of things while programming an app. App developers must know that hard coding may pace up the first version release but releasing the next versions will take equally more time. So its always advisable to professional app developers to keep the best coding standards.

Library Building

Top mobile app development companies know that the game is about providing best services in the longer run. Thus these companies believe in developing the comprehensive libraries, which can be used through direct call or web services. These libraries reduce the timeline of new mobile apps projects.

Versions

Its very recommended to receive and review the response of the end users before taking your mobile apps to next stage. Thus mobile app developers keep a clear approach of version based development and release.
