You may think that creating a mobile app is the same as creating an app for a desktop. You may think that focusing on "what to do" is enough when creating a mobile applications. You may think that the challenges that mobile application developers face are relatively simple. Well, if so, you're wrong! Mobile app development is very different from developing an app for a desktop or laptop. Also, it's important to focus on "what not to do", rather than on "what to do". And the challenges faced by mobile developers are anything but simple. In this article, we'll talk about the top 5 challenges faced by mobile-app developers. So, here goes... 1) Fitting everything into a small screen size: The screen size of a mobile starts at 3 inches and increases from there, whereas the screen size for a desktop usually ranges from 13 to 15 inches. What you see in those 13 inches cannot necessarily be easily placed on a mobile device. So, when creating a mobile applications, many developers have included only that which is absolutely necessary in their mobile-app. This is often called the minimalist approach. 2) Creating a mobile applications that allows for accuracy when users use their fingers to navigate: Most users will use their fingers to navigate, rather than a mouse pointer. This may compromise precision and accuracy. The User Interface (UI) should be designed keeping this in mind. This means that mobile application developers should ensure that the UI displays enlarged interaction points rather than the usual sizes.All Rights Reserved
