Some common mistakes that can make iOS application development paralysed

As far as iOS application development companies are concerned, nothing can beat the feeling of buggy app being rejected by the App Store. If in case it is accepted then nothing can beat one-star reviews that would keep on rolling which is almost irrecoverable and this will cause detrimental effects not only to the cost of the company but the time as well. Although while considering iOS as the second largest operating platform which is considered with a higher adoption rate where more than 80% of the users of iOS is still sticking to iOS application development.

Keeping in mind the demand of iOS is still skyrocketing, where ios development looks for something far beyond the coding. Below are few of the mistakes that are more likely committed which can cause detrimental effect on the career of iOS app developers:

Lack of cognizance about Asynchronous Processes

Although this is considered to be the most common while considering the new programmers mishandling Asynchronous code. Another mistake that is committed by the iOS application development is to consider asynchronous synonymous to running something on the background while synchronous is considered to be the main thread. While invoking something synchronously which can be said that the thread that have been initiated that will ask to wait for the task to an end before continuing while asynchronous can be said that it won’t wait.

For instance users open the screen with a table view where soma data is fetched from the concerned server and is shown in a table. Hence the problem which is more commonly can be seen while the data is fetched in order to update the UI. So, the problems which basically springs up is an Asynchronous problem and new data can be returned immediately. Hence how these code is going to behave in the future can be expected which further intensify the problems iOS app developers.  

Massive ViewControllers

The Model-View-Controller Pattern is considered to be quite common in ios application development. There are basically three layers which includes Model layer, View Layer and Controller layer stands. Model Layer is the data and business logic layer where the Model view Layer should not be interacted with the View layer directly. The View Layer consists all those layers that are considered to be good examples like UITableView, UIButton and UILabel. It should not directly interact with the model layer and must not impact on the view layer. As far as Controller Layer Stands is concerned, then it lies between the model and view layer with the utmost responsibility to synchronise the model as well as view layer.

Overlooking the other devices apart from the newest devices

Although it is quite important to use the simulators but not be restricted since it is quite essential to look for the real device. It’s not a good idea to keep on adhering to the latest device. For instance you are developing an iPad application and just restricting to get it tested on the latest iPad model. It must be kept into the mind that not every users are using the latest model and there are various models that are being supported by iOS 10. It is true that the performance on the latest device would be quite amazing and looking the other devices. Hence the app will end up behaving well on the latest device but overlooked the other devices. Hence your app will even consider to be buggy and ends with unsatisfactory reviews.

Misapprehension of concurrency and multithreading

Concurrency is although considered as a monster of a subject as far as iOS application development is concerned. Although it is considered as the dangerous area that various developers try to avoid at their best. Although as per the rumours multithread code must be avoided. The biggest mistake that is more likely committed by the new programmer if concurrency is not understood very well. Hence concurrency can be considered as a sharp knife and you can easily cut yourself in case you are not experienced enough to handle it. Although concurrency has various benefits, for instance:

• In order to perform heavy calculations or read the data from the database where these tasks are performed on the queue, further the application will tend to freeze for sometime which ends up making it non-responsive. If taken it too long then obviously iOS will shut the app permanently.
• As far as modern iOS is concerned, then it has more than one core, hence it doesn’t let the tasks to be accomplished sequentially when they can easily be done parallel.

But it has to be kept in the mind that the benefit of concurrency can be leveraged without facing concurrency.

These are some of the most common mistakes that must be beware of by new programmers which can end up career permanently.
