IOS App Development Service

Service Details

PHASE 1: Building the core foundation The first phase of developing the app is most crucial, this is the backbone of the project & how the entire lifecycle will evolve. Step 1: Defining the application. Most clients come to us with just an idea & it depends on us to write it down and debate about its feasibility, what problem is it the app going to solve and it's eventual productivity. Step 2: Market Research: Going out and discovering similar apps & doing research on their approach & finding out their core, and how we can make our solution better. PHASE 2: Pre-Development Planning We, at switch, believe that a prototype stimulates our brains to better understand the written concept, to visualise it & play around with possibilities. This phase is all about the imagination & creativity. Step 3: Bringing in the Big Boys i.e Developers. The development team are the technical architects of the project & they're brought in to discuss minute details of the project. Details concerning the prototype & how will that translate over to code. They also help us in establishing a timeline for optimising the whole process. Step 4: WireFraming- Bring out your overgrown babies aka artists. Then we make rough sketches on paper to chart out usability & the flow of the application. The first visual draft of the whole app. PHASE 3: Let's go over the Technical Stuff Now for a regular user, their concern is limited to the design, the cool visuals & smoot, fancy animations. But we need to rub our heads around all of the data stuff such as the back-end systems & the web services that go along with the app. Step 5: Building Web Services- Now an application needs access to usable data & these are provided by web services, for example, showing location on a map or displaying a list of things. The webservices are very important because they have to be written for optimum performance & handle data efficiently, a lot of brainpower goes into creating & refining algorithmic logics. Step 6: iOS Optimization: Now the thing with curating on the appstore is that apps have to follow a set of norms & a defined structure of APIs that is acceptable by apple standards. The application has to be defined within the standards of iOS development & the iOS app environment. Step 7: Fine-Tune the Definition & Create Market Strategy: At this point, we've already refined many of the initial wireframes & improvised technical scenarios, at this stage the whole team is reviewing the wireframes before building the prototypes. PHASE 4: Prototyping The whole point of a smart phone is touch, and interaction with an app is completely touch based, so we create a prototype to understand and evolve the user flow, navigation & user experience. Step 8: Fast pace prototyping, at this stage we're concerned only with the behaviour of the application, so that we understand how it's flowing & help our team to visualise the application and build it. It is also necessary for the client to see his idea slowly transforming into a physical entity. So we bring in the clients to interact & play with the application for reviews & feedback.
