DESCRIPTION
Harbinger Systems will be sharing insights across Conceptualization, Development, Testing and Submission phases of mobile app development process. Apple's App Store rejects close to 30% of 26,000 submissions received every week, for failing to adhere to its developer guidelines. Have you ever experienced this? Do you want to avoid the heartbreak, save on iteration costs and importantly, achieve 'Faster time to Market'? Let Harbinger Systems help you to get it right, the first time, every time!

Conceptualization Converting your ideas into tangible forms
1. Rapidly build application mock-ups with workflows
– Balsamiq, MockFlow, Omnigraffle, Skitch
2. Plan data exchange – Decide roles of server and mobile app
– Plan on RESTful or SOAP
– Go for Push instead of Poll
3. Go for Layered approach instead of Monolithic – User interaction: GUI (native, 3rd party, HTML5)
– Business logic: Core app logic using classes and controllers
– Data Access Layer: Network services and databases
Get clarity on how the app would work and understand issues and bottlenecks in early stage to save rework.

Building Convert the tangible artifacts into executables
4. Don’t hesitate to use Design Patterns – MVC and Template patterns will save effort duplication – Factory method provides better decoupling
5. Think smarter – For Multi platform use PhoneGap, RhoMobile, Corona 2D,
Unity 3D – For App families build and use common libraries
6. Don’t compromise on code quality – Use Crucible (by JIRA), StaticAnalyzer (for XCode), Jupiter (for
Eclipse), AgileReview
7. Be Test Ready – Use Unit test frameworks like SenTesting Kit, JUnit – Implement ‘One Click’ build automations using JMeter and
Jenkins
These tips will automate tasks, make the code maintainable, detect bugs in minimum cycles - all of which can save considerable time

Testing Ensure that the app is usable and secured
8. Automate
– Automate UI testing using Instruments, FoneMonkey
– Automate device testing using TestLodge and TestRail.
– Implement ‘On Field’ crash reporting service
9. Test rapidly and Aggressively
– Automation takes care of functional testing
– Focus on combinations of network types, form factors, resource
10. Don’t forget Security
– Use Package Play, Manifest Explorer, Intent Sniffer and Intent Fuzzer
These testing techniques ensure superior quality in a short span of time and reduce the need for bug patches.

Submission Make your app available through publishers
11. Ensure your app does not have these – Compilation warnings – Duplication of native features and controls – Incorrect user notifications – Over usage of native memory – Redirections to web pages – Improper app description in addition to many other common rejection reasons
12. Understand the review process – Honor the Human Interface Guidelines - – Carefully complete the submission documentation – Produce artifacts needed by reviewer
Being prepared will significantly improve the chances for one shot approval
