It is increasingly common to find more enterprising considering employment status and despair which may involve waiting an opportunity or a call or search tirelessly for a workplace that fits in salary and features to our needs, and finding none, for it is an alternative create a company, a startup or become self-employed and Android can be a great ally for growing your company or idea and more so if this is development and programming for operating systems.
First and most notable is the publication of your applications. Imagine for a moment that our goal is to live in the development of applications themselves or others by a contract and so they could publish need to wait even weeks from the submission process, review and publication, under the risk passes these weeks the application has been rejected for one thing which we were not aware or something we missed and to make matters worse, imagine that that application is actually a company or contract under a deadline for publication, is by the launch of an event, a product or a service.
Just as in the 90s, doing a website could be really childbirth or simply upload and arrange images until CMS or the advancement of the web 2.0, the improvement and evolution of programming codes and many aspects allowed a “self-management ” as we can and take away jobs provided “ intermediaries ” the way and the delay and inconvenience this may involve.
Today
some of this philosophy 90 still exists thanks to the Apple App Store avoiding such self and any modification involves creating or updating a number of schemes, deathlines, graphics and specifications further delay getting our work preventing us can focus on what really matters and to coordinate and manage our time and working properly.
There are two differences and I guess depend on the taste of each picking one or the other. One is to create an application basic and functional enough to show the usefulness of our idea and can be polishing errors through the participation of our users or beta testers and thus grow in quality and in users since its publication and another is to be months develop and refine errors without being able to post once published this application does not have any success or not welcomed by the community but have already invested these months in its creation.
While
this for a company and consolidated with interesting customer base to be able to afford these “windfall” for a company that is starting can be a big problem to invest months develop an application for a platform like iOS.
Now, faced with these problems, there are alternatives that create the application in a few weeks, days or even hours and request the support of the community that surrounds throughout the ecosystem Android . From facilitate APK trusted people for their opinions or feedback to creating a community in Google+ to create a group “exclusive ” to have access to Betas of each application before they be public.
To show an example of this aspect, if we compare instructions or “complications” for creating a beta phase of our application on Android or iOS, we can see that in the knowledge bases of both platforms it boils that since Google’s instructions are summarized in less than 350 words while in the Apple documentation find 2,800 words .
another example of the importance for the development or polish application errors on one platform or another and that is that in this comparison, if a user or iOS beta tester detects or has an error in the application that is be converted into the labyrinth of the Minotaur:
- Synchronize your device with your computer via iTunes
Now if the error is suffering on Android, it comes down to press a button that will automatically send the report, the log and all necessary information for the developer. Given these differences, how many errors or feedback we receive from a few user iOS and Android one?
entered the competitive edge, we will meet with the difference between wasting weeks developing, climbing, waiting approval, be rejected, resubirla, wait release, etc. and the time spent during that time developing ideas and applications they can succeed without having a spectacular interface such as Craigslist , an application that spectacular but useful interface, simple, functional and effective has more than 10 million downloads and a score Average 3.9
Sure, Craigslist is not going to be presented in a graphic design competition for few days applications but has managed to create a very successful application which brings benefits to the developer through advertising.
If now we start to look for something as simple as “voice recorder” on Play Store, find a super-application not the result of a large company, or months of work, we find a basic application called Smart Voice Recorder, the result of a few days work by a developer whose only application is so it is not their way of life and is a professional Android applications but has gotten more than 5 million discharge with an average score of 4 , 8 on 5 .
With these examples we can see the difference between quality and functionality or graphic design spectacular or something practical but that does not mean that quality and design is not important, it is equally important basic but it is not perfect and beautiful but also this is practical and useful.
something so practical as well as the applications mentioned get the quality and perfection that gives us u na good community of testers or users faithful and design created from the originality and collect suggestions created by our users, not only create an application downloaded and useful but a great example and claim. This is the big difference between Android and iOS in which, the second most important thing is to lose weeks of waiting for the end to see that our application has not had the desired host because we created like Apple to but not our users potential that we can only see their opinion through screenshots and mock-ups and not from everyday use, everyday.
And last but for many is the most basic, we are talking operating system more market share and penetration in the world located in the first position and market share and this, in After all, is the basis for a company or company focus its efforts, to reach the maximum possible number of potential customers.
