“The mobile app industry is growing rapidly on two sides. On the development side as well as the users side.”
The number of persons accessing the internet has grown at a very speedy rate with the smartphone sales explosion in recent years and smartphones becoming cheaper and more affordable. This, in turn, has made an excessive increment in volume and in turn, has resulted in making the mobile app industry very big. There were over 10 billion devices on the Internet at the end of 2016.
The Number of Important Points that Developers Need to Know:
Here you go with a number of important points that developers need to know about the future of mobile app development to get up-to-date on the latest trends.
Cross-Platform and Cross-Device Development
Folks, I believe you would agree that apps are no longer limited to single platforms. Pricing matters a lot and Android due to its pricing, will rule the platform business in terms of sales, and iOS will rule the high-end market. In time, applications will no longer be limited to specific platforms. A very good report says that with the evolution of HTML5, the mobile application’s future will see hybrid mobile applications and will work for all platforms.
IOT Applications:
Technology has made our life very convenient and thus making us all very lazy, but the best is still to come. It has made possible to communicate all over the world within fractions of time. The IoT (Internet of Things) will help us control things around us via applications. In fact, Android has just released own package for developing IoT apps. Almost every IoT solution needs an escorting mobile app, using its smart device sensors to assist the user to control the smart device. For example, Google Glass, Apple Watches, and others are just the beginning. These days we are seeing some great models of IoT Applications such as self-driving cars, fridges that read your tweets, and rings that control everything, etc. In time, we will see more of these being used in our daily lives.
Developer Tools:
Though the developer tools will your life as a developer even easier, but this is also a fact that the mobile application industry is introducing tens and thousands of applications every year and this means there is too much pressure on launching applications in the shortest time period without error. Businesses also want to get in on shaping applications ASAP. The applications are launched in the shortest time because the application programming interfaces and software developer kits make it convenient. In time, we will see a rise trend in these applications and more advanced software kits.
Enterprise Apps:
Enterprise apps increase worker productivity, leverage big data and help optimize business process efficiency and therefore going forward the trend will head towards Enterprise apps. Instead of custom apps. As enterprises are more willing to shell out money, customers get what they want.Also, enterprises are looking forward to get up-to-date with latest technology with mobile application development companies and mobile applications will help them do so.
Location-Based Services:
Not only ordering groceries or calling an electrician, but all of our day-to-day activities have started becoming apps, we find more convenient ways to do them. These types of apps, check your location and find the best resource nearby. It takes into account the geographical location and provides information or entertainment. In time, we will see a rise in location-based apps as its demand will rise in customers as well as the enterprise domain.
Cloud Computing Apps:
We have seen that the number of apps merging with cloud computing in the year 2015. Nowadays the trend is to shift databases to the cloud and ISPs are also encouraging cloud storage at the very nominal price. Cloud storage helps end users to sync and access their database from anywhere and with no risk of data corruption. This trend will go on and on and we will see many new cloud computing applications. This trend will continue because of the following reason: Cloud-based apps don’t take as much space as regular apps on the user device.
Mobile Security Apps:
The mobile security is the next big thing with smartphones becoming more important to us and our dependence on them increases for accessing bank applications and other private data. Mobile security apps will see a higher demand in the coming years because as well know that even for enterprises breaches in data privacy can cost company fortunes.
India’s App Industry Needs 20 Million Developers By 2020: Report –
The number of professional mobile developers in India is approximately 50-70 thousand. These are not adequate numbers. The number of phones that will be connected to internet by 2020 will be more than a billion and this in turn means at that time we will be requiring 20 million app developers.
A very significant report has come out which says that the app industry of India will require 20 million developers by 2020. This means lots of opportunities to get converted and it is no more a matter of debate. Lots of opportunities and in turn lots of developers will get the job. More app developers will lead to more startups. In fact Nasscom is running a startup programme which, if successful, could produce 10,000 startups and boost the mobile app industry. The India apps economy congratulated the already established IT industry and say all the best to the future developers.
The Final Thought: We hope the above information about mobile application development will boost your confidence if you are trying to get into this industry. There are lots of institutes in Jaipur and India that provide adequate training and orientation on apps. I can give you an example of BR Brains that provide excellent iOS training in Jaipur.
