Android Development

To begin the Development of the Android platform we need enough powerful PC to run Android Studio; the software was the Android Applications are programmed. It is very recommended to have the latest version of Android Studio, so you can program your application on the actual Android Operating System.

For the license is necessary to have an Android Developer Account which can be obtained from the Google Play store for $25Usd, it is a lifetime subscription.

After all of this, it is time, to begin with, the application development process. We need to create the Project and define the packages of the application. This is important because we’re not going to handle any issues if the names are changed.

The next step is to create the mockups and flow of the application. After this is to program all the actions and functions of all the buttons and touch points. All the personalized classes are next to the required actions and controllers for the most specific functions.

With the application running and all the functions programmed then we implement the API, which brought the information to be displayed on the application, this step is done with Volley and HTTP client programs. At this point, the app for Android is done.

iOS Development

The Development on iOS is a bit simpler regarding the required equipment, we need a recent Mac who runs Xcode program. The Xcode updates automatically to the latest version to work with the most recent iOS operating system.

The license of Apple Development can be bought on the App store with $99Usd. It needs to be annually renewed to have your application featured in the store.

Is time to start the application development process. For this, we must have knowledge of the Apple design standards and apply them to the app so it can be published, due to the attention that Apple puts on it.

While creating the Project we need to define since the beginning the packages and permits. Mockups and flows will be defined alongside the buttons. All the personalized classes are next to the required actions and controllers for the most specific functions.

Test Devices

The test devices for this applications should have the latest operating systems on Android and iOS. The testing on iOS is much simpler than Android because of the fewer models that Apple has. On the other hand, Android should be tested on a lot of mobile devices, not only phones, also tablets.

The programming is done on the latest Operating System of the devices, but it also works on few previous versions, so the test spectrum should cover this.

Benefits of the application

1. Native programming benefits on having all the resources of the device.

2. Response time is much faster and much more fluid.

3. An app like this can show you the information in an instant.
