1TECHNOLOGIES FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS
Discussion on advantages of existing mobile technologies to design new
applications and primary challenges for designing various mobile applications:
As far as the benefits of the present day mobile technologies are considered for designing
latest applications, they are demonstrated hereafter. First of all it helps to improve efficiencies.
Secondly, it provides high level of scalability and secures the app data. Next, it is helpful to secure
the data in the app. Apart from that, it integrates with the current software. This is been easy to
maintain and develop the customer relationship. Besides, this also facilitates the latest type of client
data retrieval and delivers the access to the real-time project. Further, this has the ease in project
management can record the digital files regarding accountability (Archondakis et al. 2019).
The different challenges in designing various mobile applications are discussed hereafter.
Firstly, there is the issue of choosing the suitable app for development. Then, there is the
overcrowded and competitive market and clear definition of ant target market and management of
finances and enough level of funds. Next, there is the necessity of the best suitable development
technology for application taking decision on whether one make cross platform, hybrid or native
mobile application. Further, there are issues with various devices and the screen sizes and dealing
with various operating systems and making marketing and promotion of mobile app. Again, there
can be security concerns like malware might arise and the fragmentation of hardware or software
just includes list of the woes. Moreover, the app distribution to devices could be problematic for the
developers (Ahmad et al. 2018).
