Apple’s app store was officially launched in the year of 2008 withholding nearly 200 million applications and games occupying the store currently and this figure is expected to reach a figure of approximately 500 million apps by the year of 2020.
Thought the complete version of this model is not out in the market, different beta versions are out for testers to acquire positive feedback on the application itself.
If you are an app developer, it is imperative for you to understand how iOS 11 new app store changes can impact your app’s appearance in the app store such that you can come up with a highly optimized version of the application corresponding to the new updates. Also, as a user, you might wish to form an idea of how Apple’s marketplace is changing and how this change is going to impact your usage experience.
The changes are categorized separately as summarized below:
  1. Redesigned homepage termed as ‘Today’- This is a platform used not only to advertise choicest applications and new releases but also enable developers to share unique  stories including useful tips, interviews of developers and other related facts pertaining to their developed application through pictures and videos.
  2. Apps and games get separate recognition in the app store having distinct focused categories- Applications and games will have their own focused category within the app store.

  4. Application description cannot be re-written multiple times- App developers will not be able to alter the app description any time as against the initial practice. Now the description can be altered at the point when a new version of the app gets submitted.
  5. New feature added to market your application through ‘Promotional text’- Communicate app marketing message along with limited-time events, new features, content, announcements, offers, or discounts within 170 characters that will appear above the description and can be edited at any given time.
  6. Video app previews- iOS 11 app store allows developers to feed captivating app preview in the form of three short audio mute videos of 30 seconds each to convince app installation.
  7. In-app purchases included- This is a contributing feature maximizing profit for Apple. Customize in-app purchases by adding display names, descriptions, and promotional images promoting up to 20 of them on the product page that users can browse and buy even before downloading the app. In-app purchases make appearance in search results, the Games and Apps tabs, also visible on the Today page.
  8. Accumulated app ratings- App ratings are based on all the versions and the developers have the option to reset the reviews and ratings.
  9. Respond to user app reviews- iOS 11 app store guide app developers, for better reviews, to response back to a user review enhancing the app user experience and assisting them in case they come up with some queries pertaining to the app usability.
  10. Refurbished search results function- The compressed search results page display more results featuring new fields such as app sub-title enabling app users get more options and the app developers get better exposure. But, at the same time, is challenged to remain visible among long list of applications.

App users can easily locate applications specific to their requirement from the myriad of apps. Also, the iPhone application development companies stand to benefit from this strategic step getting better recognition for their developed applications among ocean of irrelevant apps.
However, it is only the beta version of iOS 11. Wait for the final release.

Now that we have already reached the very end of the year 2017, enterprises begin their preparation to welcome the forthcoming year, strategizing ways to immerse their consumers into an entirely different experience with their service as against the year gone by. To survive the competitiveness of the volatile market, companies need to constantly evolve and mold their strategies in keeping pace with the changing consumer market. Mobile developers are more under pressure since mobile technology has already taken a giant step towards the future holding the hands of an internet of things, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality and such other technologies. These are currently making quite a buzz in the development world giving rise to grueling consumer desires. 

Such a moment can be converted into profit if the best mobile application development companies strategize their next move by staying in terms with the future factors that are likely to trend in the mobile market. Few calculations and data analysis of the year 2017 can help in making correct speculations of the future.

Smartphones get smarter with application detecting fake products.


Companies involved in production of consumer goods can sit back and relax. Fake detection mobile applications designed by top mobile application development companies are out to fight the counterfeiters proving venomous, threatening their very existence.

Modern technology has raised scope for market frauds to forge products ranging from food items to health care goods including medicines and items for infants and small children. Counterfeit goods have encompassed nations worldwide, spreading like a plague and costing millions of dollars for the companies involved in producing the original version of the fake goods.

Do you recognize the original items when you make purchase of any items in the shop?? The pirates are experts in replicating the original version such that the fake version remains mostly indistinguishable from the authentic one. However, the best part is that, Technology also develops antidotes to address any epidemic sprouting now and again. And mobile app developers have landed with a solution to this raging issue recently, in the guise of smart phone application detecting fake products.

This new smartphone feature, incorporated into Entrupy application is already available on iTunes for iOS users and companies no longer have to bear the brunt of fake goods harming their original versions.

So, allow me to elucidate further on the basic trick that conceptualized such a fake product detecting mobile app.

Indian-origin researchers have formulated a new system amalgamating Artificial Intelligence algorithms with smart phone application framework to give birth to an advanced mobile application, Entrupy, bestowing it with the power to differentiate counterfeit items from their original versions.
 
In the words of Lakshminarayanan Subramanian, Professor at New York University, "The classification accuracy is more than 98 per cent, and we show how our system works with a cell phone to verify the authenticity of everyday objects."

Now the point is how does this particular app, Entrupy, in question, works??

Entrupy is an advanced authentication service designed mobile application to detect the credibility of designer handbags and accessories anywhere. iOS mobileapplication development companies have thought of such an unique application which is likely to exert a harsh blow to the black market selling fake products.

The Entrupy mobile application developers have come up with a very simple and easy to operate app user interface to support application users coming from different backgrounds. All you need to do is use the Entrupy device and install the supportive mobile application on your mobile handset. Just place the device directly on the item and access the Entrupy application on your mobile handset and follow the onscreen prompts in the app to take microscopic images of different areas of a particular item. The artificial intelligence algorithms analyze the images to determine their authenticity and you get results real-time. Currently the authentication accuracy is over 96.4% and is steadily expanding.

Presently this fake detection application supports the following brands:

    Louis Vuitton
    Chanel
    Gucci
    Hermes
    CĂ©line
    Prada
    Fendi
    Burberry
    Balenciaga
    Dior and,
    Goyard

In the near future, this application is likely to include many more brands including: 

    Bottega Venetta
    Chloe
    YSL

Wrapping Up

Let us have a glimpse into the shocking stats, revealed by recent reports, resulting from the widespread issue of fake goods filling up the markets like an epidemic.
    Counterfeit trafficking of items represents seven per cent of the world’s trade today.
    Nearly every high-valued physical object or product is victimized.
    Present status affirms that trade in counterfeit goods is now worth more than 5 per cent of world trade.
    Nearly 90% of alleged Apple accessories were discovered not made by Apple at all.

The results are humongous and not possible to summarize the entire picture within this article. The statistics are enough to necessitate more mobile application development companies to come up with such apps for detecting fake products similar to Entrupy.

Fluper, one of the top-rated mobile app development company, is competent and skilled enough to come up with such innovative ideas for mobile applications.
