The development of mobile applications has been defined as one of the main technical advances in today’s world. The development of a mobile application depends on several factors: the budget, the customers and the demand for a specific application. From a mobile app developer’s perspective, budget and knowledge of a programming language can decide your success. These are some of the commonly used application development tools and some tools used by traditional web programmers.
Some of the most advanced mobile app development tools
Apple iOS Developer Program: Developers who want to build iPhone apps must register with the Apple Developer Program and there is a $ 99 annual fee for the program. Once registered, the user can develop applications using the programming language – Objective C. The Apple Development Center consists of tools, guides and run debugging tests to create applications of any purpose.
Android operating system program: Most Android-based applications are created using the Java programming language. By downloading the Android SDK (Software Development Kit), the user can start creating new Android applications. The Android-based starter kit consists of sample projects, development tools, source code, and an emulator, which is used to test the new application. More information on Android application development can be found in the available videos, white papers, and step-by-step process documents. Android developer registration fees include a one-time fee of $ 25.
BlackBerry OS Developer program – Applications on a BlackBerry operating system are developed primarily using the Java Micro Edition (ME) programming language. An authorized BlackBerry application developer must pay an amount of $ 200 for every 10 applications submitted. However, waiver plans are constantly being offered as part of their promotions.
Some of the most popular application development tools used by traditional web developers
Appcelerator Titanium: one of the most common and recognized tools for creating applications for the Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems. It has the Titanium SDK and creates programs using CSS, HTML, or JavaScript code, as opposed to newer programs like Objective-C or Java. The developer can download and create applications for free from Titanium Community, which also has a Professional and Enterprise version.
MotherApp – The Mother app creates apps for Apple, Google Android, BlackBerry, and all other mobile platforms. The programmer does not need to be proficient in multiple languages, but can learn the MotherApp-specific HTML code to create applications. The MotherApp HTML code is a subset of the HTML with special markdown tags. These tags are sent in code to MotherApp and the build application is ready for use.
PhoneGap: PhoneGap develops applications with standard HTML, CSS or JavaScript. The developer writes the code and then uploads it and other files to the PhoneGap Build services. PhoneGap is currently compatible with Android, Palm, and BlackBerry OS.
