This is a video tutorial that explains how to create a simple project with a single view that displays a count down label. Using NSTimer In this short article I will try to provide information that will give you an overview on some of the steps going from having an idea to having a product on the app store and make it work!
1. The Idea - "Know your idea" So you have an idea for an iPhone App, great! that's the first thing you need. What does your idea do? How does it look like? What problem does it solve? Who are your clients? Does it exist already? if so, how can you improve it? These are some of the questions you should ask your self once you have an idea that you want to develop, define your idea, give it meaning, decide who your clients are and find out how your product help your clients. your goal is to "know your idea" from start to end, the more information you can extract from your idea the better your development process will be. Knowing your idea will help you know better what your app will need, once you know your target audience it is easier to decide which colors you will use, which functions you will need, how "big" your project will be and much more!. Try it out!. 2. How Does It Look Like ? Another great (and very important) thing to do is to Sketch your idea. Get a notebook and a pen, break down your idea into screens, how will the home screen of your app looks like? how does the last screen looks like? your drawings can be as simple as you like, this stage helps you figure out which features you will need in your application, it helps you prepare for development and gives you great information about how your UI (user interface) will function and will look like. Plan a simple UI, use only the features that your app needs to deliver your idea, try not to add features that will complicate the app and make the UI harder to understand, remember that users won't spend much time on trying to figure out your application, the more comfortable and easy your app feels, the easier it is for your users to use it. Once you have a good idea on how your app looks, take some time to pick the right colors for your idea. 3. Make Decisions: Your application will be better and more focused if you make some decisions before development.
4. Develop
Many people who wants their apps to be developed are not really sure on how complicated or easy it will be to develop their idea into a real-working application. There is not a lot of information out there that will answer this question and most of the times the search will end up making you feel that your idea will be expensive to produce.
There is no real price for developing an iPhone app beacuse the price range is large and varies so much from country to country and from developer to developer, it is not simple to find the right person for the job and have them working with your budget but searching online while knowing what you want and how complicated it should be will give you a much better idea on how long your project will take to produce and how much money you can expect spending on that. How to start ? The first thing you need to do is to get your idea in writing. take a notepad and simply write down all of the features your app will contain, what is it suppose to do ? who is it targeted to ? how will it help others or solve others problems, how will the user interact with the app, which kind of information will be there and basicly all the information you can extract from your idea. Next, try to summerize all those points into one sentence that will represent your main idea and the purpes of your application, once you have that you already took a big step to get your application out there!. Having your idea in like that will give you (and the developer) a much clearer view of your app development needs. A simple application There is no way to really define what a simple application is, from developer to developer this definition will change. And what about graphic design? User Interface (UI) design? Audio files included? how would that work in your application? You will be one step furter if you will have answers to all those questions, knowing your app capablities will allow you to know what you want better and will help you find a developer that will fit your requiements better. Here are some features that will take longer (and will be more expencive) to develop: Using a web-service (your own, RSS Feed, Dropbox etc..) Using social media (Facebook, Twitter) Using a design and componets that are not part of the iPhone SDK (Diffrant Buttons, Toolbars) Having a large or complex data source (a big employie list that needs to be edited for example) Having more the 5 diffrent screens to display (Views) Using Push Notifications Service (Local and Remote) Downloading data from your server (Pictures, Videos) Using the camera And the list goes on. If you want your application out there, regardless to its compexity and your programming skills, you will have to spend time, money and mind space for that, there is no replacment to having thousands of people downloding and using somthing that you have created. Focus on your idea needs and get it written down, sketch your idea on paper and figure out which components it needs and how many views it will have, find a great developer for the job, set a budjet and go for it! Who can develop applications for the iPhone ?
Well, if you are an apple fan you probably already have to right tools for it because all you really need is a Macintosh computer, an Apple Developer ID and some free time to learn. You will also need some dedication and paitience and your not far from having your own application or game on the app store. More and more people are getting into that business, from big compenies with an army of developers to indeviduals with an idea that invest time and money developing their ideas into real products. You have an idea but your not really sure what to do with it. First, there are some things your can do regardless to your programming / design skill levels. Here's a few suggestions:
If you are interested in learning how to do it on your own then you better prepare your self to a journey, there are many things to learn, actually, there are so many ways to go in this world that you won't have enough time to learn most of what's out there. The approaches are endless and the resources are out there for you to learn. Good Luck! |
