APPLE APPLICATION

Apple Mobile Application for University



Abstract

There has never been a better time to create apps for iOS and OS X. Apple provides tools that make development easy and straightforward. This document presents a high-level view of the stages in developing an app, from creating a team to responding to feedback from users. This document walks you through the process of developing apps for the App Store. By the time you finish reading this document, you should be ready to organize your development team and devise a plan to design, code, and publish an app on the App Store. As mobile is relatively new universities seem to be struggling to find quick solutions while they develop their wider digital strategy. One short term solution is the creation of mobile optimised templates for their existing website; this is a quick win at a relatively low cost.

Apple Mobile Application for University

Most of the time spent developing your app is spent on coding tasks, but throughout the development process, there are also a number of administrative tasks you must perform. This mix of tasks can be handled by a single developer, or the work can be divided between different people on a development team(Deutschman, 2010, pp. 29-38).

Most administrative tasks appear at the start and the end of a development project. For example, when you develop your first app, one person must sign an agreement with Apple to become an Apple developer. This person, known as the team agent, bears the legal responsibility for the team, adds people to the team and defines each person's responsibilities and privileges.

We are currently seeing a large number of universities exploring mobile. Unfortunately it seems like many are getting bogged down in large strategy development. It is important to ensure that even when developing a wider integrated strategy, to consider short term solutions and wins. Digital channels move too quickly to wait six to 12 months.

Twitter feed and Facebook group and also use Youtube and Eventbrite. The challenge for us was finding a way to easily deliver all this content to students and the obvious solution was to collect it all in one location - an app.

I decided early on that to suit my level of skill I would keep the app simple, so I framed it as a news aggregator collecting different Zone - a university resource that offers student extra-curricular opportunities - feeds from across the web and packaging them for easy access.

Developing doesn't have to be hard there are so many great platforms like appmakr or redfoundy. The Life Hacker site is a good resource for information on web publishing and app development . Almost anyone can build and launch an app - and why shouldn't they, we're in the age of apps if you want to make your information and content accessible it's a great medium.

QApps was established to get that research into people's hands, and make an impact on the world. It aims to meet the university's strategic aims of knowledge dissemination, development of student ...
