Today’s audience is intelligent and tech-savvy. Our customers embrace mobile applications that bring customized solutions to their everyday needs. To satisfy such requirements, every business tries to set higher goals for their product. Business mobile applications are developed by two major players in the industry- Android and iOS. Although both the platforms are known for their enriching benefits, iOS tops the list for its security and efficiency. In fact, more than 48% of the startups and enterprises prefer iOS app development services to create excellent solutions. 

You are likely to find tons of tutorials and videos on iPhone app development to ease your developmental run. However, we believe it takes more than just skills and tutorials to create a successful app. 

What you need is the correct information. If you are comparatively new to iOS app development, chances are you might get enclosed with several misapprehensions and preconceived ideas on iOS. Typically, these notions are myths that may hinder the way to turn your ideas into reality. Hence, it’s time we break those myths. 

This article will debunk some of the most popular iOS app development myths and reveal facts that no one talks about. 

Myth 1- Complex features and modes make a better iOS application. 

Often product owners feel that Apple’s framework is too simple. Due to a similar reason, many iOS developers are told to build features and modes from scratch. As a result, the iOS app development process extends and becomes more complicated than it’s meant to be. 

The reality is that Apple embraces simplicity. Whenever you are given an alternative to choose from Apple’s framework, do not hesitate to select pre-made layouts and features. These readymade frameworks are already designed, keeping customer’s requirements in mind. Apple is a great researcher and usually knows what works in web development. 

Myth 2- Bugs and Errors in iOS reflects the application’s incompetency. 

Bugs are not a new concept to mobile app developers. If you hire dedicated iOS developers, you’d realize they have already gone through a lot of bug fixing. Consider not worrying about the bugs part since it’s a normal phenomenon. Apple has a very precise protocol for developing apps, and it does not compromise its quality and security. Therefore if you want to avoid errors in the testing phase, it’s recommended to strictly stick to Apple’s guidelines right from the initial stage. 

Myth 3- Once the wireframes are integrated, you cannot make any changes. 

If you opt for custom mobile app development, coming across operational and functional issues is going to be a routine. You will want to make new changes every day to yield the best outcome possible. To fix the defects, you can always alter the wireframes. 

It is a good practice to remain quite flexible with the wireframes from the start so that when you move on to make corrections, you do not have to redesign everything. Take decisions that benefit your application. It might get challenging to make tweaks without disturbing the design; hence, try working on parallel solutions with your iOS app development company. 

Myth 4- In iOS, clean codes can only be written in specific architectures. 

This one is our favorite myth to debunk. Many enterprises are told to develop iOS applications using a particular app architecture. There’s a second myth that building applications with multiple architectures will result in asymmetrical codes and poor user experience. 

Well, the truth is, one can build clean, straightforward iOS applications (with symmetrical code) using any well-known architecture as long as it is aware of the limitations and benefits. Before you and your development team finalize an architecture, do not forget to conduct thorough research on the same. More than its pros, get familiar with the architecture’s boundaries to avoid patching and fixing. 

In the end, choose the framework that is known to offer an ideal user experience and flexibility. 

Myth 5- iOS application development only emphasizes coding. 

We already know that iOS apps are more rigorous towards precision and quality. Coding is just an element of all the features that complement each other. Other significant elements such as UI/UX, features, graphics, animations, performance, and content are equally responsible for the application’s success. 

When it comes to coding, yes, it plays a vital role since it acts as base work for the application. Nevertheless, ensure that you do not only focus on coding and make space for all other processes. 

Myth 6- iOS app development is one costly affair. 

Developing a mobile application brings along endless benefits to one’s business. Still, many product owners are made to believe that custom iOS development might get a little heavy in their pockets. 

But if you look closely at today’s advancements, you will notice that experimentation and risks determine an application’s success. The cost factor should not stop you from trying various methods. For instance, if your iOS app is facing a budget constraint, consider using React Native or Flutter framework for scalable and cost-effective solutions. 

Let’s Wrap Up! 

iOS application development is a fulfilling concept. Once you understand such myths and facts, you will realize that building a business application is not that hard. What matters most is the objective and purpose of your application. Seeking services from a reliable iOS app development company will help you smoothen the entire process. Moreover, you are likely to debunk more such myths on iOS with a creative team.
