It is never easy to choose an iPhone app developer, especially if you don’t know what you’re getting into. Hire an iPhone application development firm that understands the app market, knows how to port to Android, BlackBerry, Plam Pre, J2ME; provides insight on app marketing and more.

Experience in iPhone Apps

Check out if the company has the experience in developing mobile applications and publishing on the Apple Store. See if their website lists the apps developed along with screen shots? If the company has some iPhone applications listed on the App Store, check the links.

Concept to Execution

It may be good to know if the development firm has the ability to conceive an idea for an app, design and deploy in the market. If they have a framework to create an engaging, easy-to-use application, then you have an advantage. If they are not creative, unwilling to bring fresh ideas to the table or lack quality suggestions for your idea, then it’s a waste of time dealing with the company.

After a great deal of development effort and some fantastic team work, finally we have posted our first iPhone application online about 3 weeks back and so far it has been an excellent ride! The app can be downloaded from iTunes by searching for ‘Hanuman Chalisa Sing along’ application.

The graphics work was among the toughest pieces of this app and are we glad that it has really come out cool!! A lot of that credit goes to Sathish and Yousuf, right from the color combinations to the font and the way lyrics are being displayed.

You can play the audio and sing along with the song (hence the name .. duh!) or just turn the audio off and pace it your own way. One can choose to see the lyrics in English or Hindi. Aahh .. Hindi! How can we forget it? The I18N bugs on iPhone OS gave us some sweet nightmares what with the OS not supporting the display of Devanagari words properly. We went around the problem finally with a lot of help from Yousuf.

The other cool feature was the support for landscape and portrait modes. It is apparently easy to do in most iPhone apps and a lot of iPhone apps feature the support for device rotation. But believe me it was not easy at all, at least initially for us developers. To be fair, it would have been easier if placing the UI components in a view was done through code. But if one relies on XCode / Interface builder to do it, it is definitely a challenge and that is exactly what we faced.

Uploading the app for Apple review was another experience. First time around, the app got rejected on grounds of ambiguity in user interface(!?) — because one of the standard buttons was apparently used to mean something else. We went around that problem and when the review finally got over, what a relief it was! I used to check and still do check the app status daily in iStore to see if it has crossed the ‘In Review’ state.

Finally, it’s got done and we are moving on now. On the whole, it was an excellent learning experience for all of us. It laid the foundation for a lot more learning and new challenges to overcome which we are relishing now

Congratulations and Kudos go to the whole team. Any brick-bats? Direct them to me! We always welcome constructive criticism!
