 Let's say you own a business and had the notion to create an app to reach the necessary people. You already know it's the most brilliant concept ever, so how do you develop an app? Or who would be the right choice to develop it? And what exactly would the steps be?

Well, to answer these queries, we have simplified them into step-by-step processes in order to address them all. Let’s explore them below. 

There is no doubt that the mobile app development business is going through a transformation right now. With the growing popularity of mobile applications, companies and brands have started to push their market to expand their business. We anticipate that reading this blog will provide you some insight into app development.

Types of Mobile Apps:-

Mobile applications come in a variety of types and serve a variety of purposes. To be successful in the app industry, one must now have a thorough understanding of app dynamics.

 

Parameters	Native Apps	Cross Platform Apps	Hybrid Apps	Progressive Web Apps
Definition	These apps are made specifically for a given platform, like iOS or Android. The programming languages that were utilized to construct the apps are supported by these operating systems.	These can be written in various languages and then compiled independently for each device.	It is a combination of both native and web apps. Although they may feature a home screen app icon, a responsive design, and quick speed they are actually web applications that have been designed to seem native.	These are the website extensions that you can download and save on browsers to use like apps. These apps use web browser APIs to provide a native-like experience.
Technology Stacks	These are coded using various programming languages. Such as Java, Kotlin, Python, React, Objective C, C++, etc.	Xamarin Native Node.js	Objective C Iconic HTML 5	HTML5 CSS JavaScript Ruby

1. Confirming the Idea:-

The app development process begins with analyzing the idea and defining its strategy. When an idea is generated, one has two options: - either work it out or turn it down. Confirming the plan and sticking to it will assist to develop an effective application. You must think of developing an app that would provide unique value to the users. So that the users would be attracted to visit your application.

2. Research & Planning:-

Conduct a detailed user-centric market analysis. It would help to know the real demand of the market so you can work on your ideas. A competitive analysis will help to identify the pros n cons of the application that you are looking to develop. Understanding the target audience, app objective and app use will help you finalize the functionalities that you want to include. Plan and get a clear idea regarding the competitors. 

Also, analyze which kind of app you are looking to develop- Android App or Ios App. Because both platforms have distinct user bases and you need to choose wisely which part you want to target. Additionally, it would have an effect on the budget. So, learning this would help to make a better investment in the app.

3. Designing Wireframe:-

Once the idea is ready and you are confirmed, then it you should map it out. Wireframes, generally known as Blueprints would help in displaying the flow of the app. Additionally, it would aid in the completion of the features you want to incorporate. The features will be prioritized according to this plan, which will also help determine the success rate. For the app, analysis and selecting the best tech stack would be advantageous. It would support the potential development of mobile applications.

4. Development:-

This phase includes front-end and back-end development as well as UI/UX design. The complete process of developing a mobile app is covered in this phase. The steps of producing a mobile app involve a variety of tasks. Such as setting up a suitable development environment, writing various sections of code, and preliminary testing. Segmenting the project into smaller deliverables would help to gain a quality app. After reviewing each stage of development, it can be passed for validation. 

5. Testing:-

Testing is necessary to make sure the produced application is secure and functional. Testing a program doesn't necessarily indicate that it has any serious bugs. It aids in evaluating the app's functionality, safety, and stability to ensure its long-term viability. There are different kinds of test cases or tools that guarantee the user to use them at a low risk of failure. 

6. Deployment:-

Launching the application to the app stores is called Deployment. Android App should be deployed to Google Play Store, whereas IOS would be deployed to Apple App Store. Deploy the app and track its analytics to know the users hitting it. Encourage people to leave review comments so that new users will join.

End Note-

These are the chronological step-by-step process to develop an app. This app development process is a never-ending process, as the feature addition, and revamping of the look and feel goes on. Selecting the best team would help to develop a great mobile application. The process might sound tedious but moving step by step, & not missing a single one would be beneficial.
