Developing an iPhone application from scratch is not as easy as one 
might think. However, it is also not as hard as what other individuals 
might have thought about it. It is not free. Interested persons in the 
iPhone app development process need to invest in the SDK or software 
development kit. The kit reveals all the procedures involved and ways 
through which you can develop a really good iPhone app. And in order for
 your app to get loaded and published in the iTunes, you need to pay for
 the membership fee, which is equivalent to $99 as of the time of 
writing this article. If however, you are developing an iPhone App for a
 local or small business, there are platforms available you could 
utilize instantly and bypass having to learn coding or programming 
completely.
</div>
One of the biggest costs in an iPhone app development process is 
buying a Mac. This will be true for those who don’t have a Mac yet. But 
for individuals who have it already may proceed with the Apple developer
 registration and watching SDK tutorials or reading SDK modules. Make 
sure to read every detail in every step. Also make sure you completely 
understand every procedure. If there are things that confuse you or give
 you doubts, never hesitate to call for help. Asking someone who has the
 skill of developing an app can definitely assist you in the process.<br />

Steps in Creating an iPhone Application<br />

Develop an idea.<br />
Get a Mac.<br />
Register as an Apple developer.<br />
Obtain access to the software development kit for iPhone.<br />
Download XCode.<br />
Create your first iPhone app using the templates in the development kit.<br />
Learn Cocoa with Objective-C.<br />
Program your app in Objective-C.<br />
Use the iPhone simulator to test your app.<br />
Pay the membership fee of iTunes to be able to load your app and earn from it.<br />
Develop an app community with members who will be testing apps particularly your self-made apps.<br />
Submit your app for approval and watch how it gets recognized once approved.<br />
The above steps only show the summary of the entire iPhone app 
development process. Learn how to actually do each of the steps through 
the SDK. Don’t forget to take note of the reminders especially when 
dealing with programs and codes. When you download XCode, for example, 
you have to pay attention to the instructions. If there’s a video 
showing how to download XCode, don’t miss it.<br />

The app development process not only requires learning the steps, but
 also learning skills. You have to be a good observer, be careful and be
 patient to succeed in building your iPhone app. These skills will open 
your mind for more ideas and make you more capable of accomplishing each
 of the requirements and procedures. Even if you don’t have a background
 in programming, you shall have the capability to generate an iPhone app
 as long as you are good at following instructions.<br />

If this is your first attempt in developing an iPhone app, use the 
templates. The templates in the development kit are especially designed 
for beginners. You may look at some of the samples of finished products 
before you take the first move.<br />

If you are developing a mobile app for small business, you could 
utilize platforms that allow you to get going from start to finish in a 
matter of hours without you needing to code or learn any programming. 
Take advantage of these platforms.<br />

The Apple iPhone 4S is a phenomenon now, while the iPhone 5 is ready 
to be rolled out by September 21 this year. What makes the phone a 
must-buy all the time? Obviously Apple and Steve Jobs have created a 
brand which is insurmountable. The high adoption rate of these 
smartphones is testimony to the class of the products and its unmatched 
features. More than 50% of all US smartphones are iPhones which is 
continually building on its earlier success.<br />

But with recent years, demand has been heavy for custom iPhone apps 
from the enterprise markets as well as other mobile development 
companies. Android-based phone sales have literally doubled over the 
year while Windows Phone is trying to make inroads into the market. The 
App Store has become increasingly crowded since there are about a 
million mobile applications available on the App Store across various 
categories. To stand out and make a mark in the App market, it is 
necessary for companies to partner an established partner and a 
development company which has the right kind of experience and expertise
 in the field of mobile app development.<br />

It is necessary to look out for competent mobile development 
companies who have years of experience in the field as well as a team of
 developers who are expert enough to create any type of app for any 
domain. The company should have experienced professionals who are well 
versed with the iOS 6/iPhone 4S apps along with development of apps for 
the iPad, and any other Apple product.<br />

The iPhone 4S SDK development process is difficult for the newbies 
but those accustomed to developing apps on the platform will find it 
easy to create apps for a wide variety of requirements. The offshore 
technology team of mobile app developers and iPhone developers need to 
get ahead of the technology curve for being the best.<br />

One should stay ahead of the overall competition for making a mark. 
Offshore development companies always try for getting mobile application
 developers who are willing to put in extra time and effort for success,
 obviously in a mutually beneficial relationship.<br />

The biggest advantage of outsourcing iPhone app development process 
is that the costs involved are very less compared to developing apps 
inhouse. One can see significant cost reductions and the development 
time is less too.<br />

Some of the features of highly successful custom iPhone app development companies include:<br />

High experience and skilled development team specific to iPhone app development<br />
Proven success with app listings in the App store for the series of iPhones as well as iPads and Macs<br />
Cost effective project plans and flexible and scalable pricing models<br />
Stringent delivery schedules and tight plans of development<br />
Custom iPhone application development including all app functions found in a single roof<br />
Companies which are able to offer apps related to other latest mobile 
technologies especially for Android always have more business than a 
technology specific app development company. Apps are always in demand 
related to the smartphone hardware features including the accelerometer,
 GPS, calendar and anything that needs customization revolving around an
 enterprise.<br />

One of the many reasons why iPhone app development is a lucrative 
business nowadays is the fact that it caters to all-round requirements 
of the users. For instance, iPhone users use their devices to perform a 
wide array of tasks, right from checking their calorie intake, browsing

The iPhone app development process is not all coding and 
confusing-looking techie jargon. In fact, the development of a great 
iPhone app depends just as much on practical planning, creative 
brainstorming and extreme attention to minute detail. Add all of these 
aspects together with the actual coding phase, and you have an iPhone 
app that is bound to be a favorite throughout America or even worldwide.<br />

Here’s a peek into the process that is necessary for an iPhone app to
 evolve from solid idea to an app everyone wants to download.<br />

• Conceptualization is the first step, and it’s an important one. The
 iPhone developer maps out the concept itself by focusing on both the 
larger picture, which is the overall goal of the app, and the small, 
which are little intricacies that are going to make it wonderful. If the
 app developer is working with another person to make an idea come to 
life, they ask that person question after question regarding the app, 
making sure to leave no stone unturned. By the time that first piece of 
code is written, the finished product sits solidly in the good 
programmer’s mind. Conversely, an iPhone developer who does not prepare 
may just begin writing code immediately and just see how it goes. This 
person will likely forget at least one piece of pertinent information.<br />

• Planning – Once the programmer has reached this stage, it’s time to
 lay out the pieces of the program to make sure that they all mesh. If 
the question hasn’t already been asked regarding how well the public 
will embrace this app, it is definitely asked now. If similar apps are 
available, the developer will work to differentiate the app in order to 
make it more attractive.<br />

• Coding – Finally, the actual code is written. Little details such 
as font size and color are given great attention, and the app is tested 
exhaustively to ensure that it is user-friendly and attractive.<br />

With a lot of application entries, we have experienced different types 
of Apple App Store endorsement process challenges. It’s a procedure much
 more entangled than presenting an application to Google Play. One of 
the greatest dissatisfaction for designers and customers is the point at
 which a submitted application is rejected in the endorsement process 
before going live in the App Store. You ought to begin by checking out 
the App Store Review Guidelines and take after these or examine the 
reasons that Apple records as the most widely recognized application 
dismissal reasons before presenting your application. However, here are 
some of the rules as reviewed by various reviewers (some more strict 
than others) and every now and again change after some time.<br />

Below are the 10 most exemplary reasons why Apps are rejected by the 
App Store Review Team that we, and our associates in other application 
advancement organizations, regularly encounter:<br />

1. Missing privacy policy<br />
If your app requires the users to register an account or login to an 
existing account, you have to provide a privacy policy either in your 
app or as a link inside the App Store listing. Including both is highly 
recommended for good measure.<br />

2. Missing demo accounts<br />
If your app requires user to login always, make sure you  provide the 
App Store Review team with a working demo account. If you app’s core 
functionality consists of users following or sending something to each 
other, it will be a good idea to provide two demo accounts that are 
connected. We also found out that providing a video when two devices are
 required to demonstrate functionality helps app store approval.<br />

3. Lack of app meta-data<br />
Even though the lack of app meta-data is an easy fix, it should never be
 why you are rejected. In most cases, when an app is rejected due to 
meta-data it can be if you have not provided substantial information and
 that the information is incorrect. Always make sure to check you have 
provided the correct information and all links are working, otherwise if
 rejected you will need to submit again.<br />

4. Major bugs in the app<br />
It may seem obvious, but if you app contains any major bugs that prevent
 the App Store Review team from reviewing your app, it will immediately 
be rejected. Make sure you thoroughly test your app before submitting 
for approval.<br />

5. Only ask for personal information for app-related purposes<br />
If you app requires users to provide personal information such as email 
address, date of birth and gender without it being used for a specific 
reason, the app will be rejected. For example, if you are making a ToDo 
app, asking for the user’s country, zip code or birthday is not directly
 linked to the apps core functionality. You can have these fields but 
make sure you do not make them mandatory.<br />

6. The Concept or Functionality of the app is against Apple guidelines<br />
Submitting an app with features that are against Apple’s App Store 
guidelines will most likely not be approved. For example, submitting an 
app where you use IAP to buy physical products is not allowed. If a 
feature can be perceived as both against and pro App Store Guidelines, 
try to rethink the feature as you are likely to be rejected at some 
point, even if it is not the first or second time. We always advise our 
clients to stay in a neutral area when it comes to App store guidelines.<br />

7. The app configuration (.plist) file not specifying correct 
background functionality (audio control, background location, etc.) If 
your app has functionality which can be used while the app is in 
background mode, make sure your plist files contain the right 
information. For example, if your app enables you to play music in the 
background, make sure the plist file (an apps configurations file) only 
enables tasks that your app supports. Recently we have seen the App 
Store Review Team pay more attention to which background tasks the app 
is providing.<br />

8. Dummy data still in the app<br />
When submitting your app to App Store Review, it’s important that it 
does not contain any dummy data, broken or dead links or Lorem Ipsum 
texts. It can be a good idea to have staging and live environment so you
 never end up with submitting an app with dummy data.<br />

9. Moderating user-generated content<br />
If your app displays user-generated content, you must include a feature 
that can filter objectionable material, such as a mechanism for users to
 flag offensive content, and the ability to block abusive users from the
 app. For example, if your app contains a personal feed of images that 
are uploaded by other users you follow, you must give the user to option
 to block or report that image and user. It might not be easy to find, 
but if you look closely you will see that all major social network apps 
have this feature. The rule is somewhat new and we believe Apple is 
paying close attention to apps that do not have this feature.<br />

10. Make sure your video preview sticks to functionality only<br />
According to Apple, “App previews may only use video screen captures of 
the app, voice-overs, and textual and design overlays.” So be careful 
when trying to make your video quirky with animations and do not use 
iPhone or iPad frame devices.<br />

Also make sure you have an appropriate system that can sort and respond to all of these reports.<br />
We can assure you that if you can cross these 10 things mentioned above,
 you will be a step closer to having your app successfully approved and 
go live on the App Store for sure.<br />
