Are Your Ready for iPhone 5 App Development?
Featured on the Forbes World's most powerful brands list, Apple Inc. brings new
handsets and iOS every year. With the launch of iPhone 5, it has once again broken
many records. Bringing many changes in this latest smartphone, Apple has opened a
new avenue of iPhone 5 app development that can provide more enhanced apps for
the users.
The latest iPhone has come with many vital changes
including increased screen size from 3.5 inch to 4.0
inch, 960 X 640 display to 1136 X 640 pixel retina
display. While the bigger display is heartily welcomed
by iPhone lovers – however, for app developers and
mobile app development companies, it's a challenging
situation. Because, it means more work as the
existing appears in a letter-boxed format stealing the
experience of large and vivid display of iPhone5.
On the iPhone 5's taller screen, older apps appear of
the same size as on the iPhone 4S with two black
strips seen on both right and left in landscape
orientation mode, and in top and bottom when using
portrait orientation. While the software giant
announces that the developers and app making
companies can create consistent apps for this new
smartphone just with simple updates, but it seems
not to be so easy. Let's find out why?
From the point of coding, developers have to use Xcode 4.5 with iOS 6 SDK. Besides this,
there are many things to consider while updating the app.
Programmers have to move their present code from viewDidUnload to
didReceiveMemoryWarning from now as viewDidUnload has been denounced.

All apps need to follow Cocoa Auto Layout Strategy, so that the existing apps can perform well
on the 4-inch iPhone 5 and 5th generation iPod Touch devices.
Are your apps have a dependency on contacts, calenders, photos, reminders and many such
other functions? Don't expect these functions to run on your new iPhone as these things
require user permissions in iOS 6. Thus, the developers have to be handle such type of errors,
where the user denies permission.
So, for the games and apps, which employ large size
graphics, interactivity, sensors and motion, etc., need
more advanced update and major revamping to offer
the same user experience as in iPhone 4S. Moreover,
app developers have to balance between these two
versions of Apple smartphones to provide more
responsive experience. Thus, they have to work on
two different versions as the apps for iPhone 5 can
not be compatible to iPhone 4S.
Well, in order to get the optimal benefit from this new Apple smartphone, hire iPhone 5 app
developers who can help you revamp your apps or build new one as early as possible.
