What are the elements to building a successful app on the iPhone? The talk will describe multiple paths to both building and marketing an iPhone app and describe pros and cons of each approach. We will use our own app as a case study of both what to do, and what not to do, with the hope that our experience with the iPhone will save time and energy of others who are considering building their own application, whether it be for the consumer market, enterprise, or internal use.
Topics covered:
- Signing up to Apple developer program
- Developing with objective C
- Getting your app approved
- Choosing a price point for your app
- Promoting apps through the app store
- Getting your app to go viral
