Challenges Of Developing an Enterprise App

Challenges Of Developing an Enterprise App

We are in an era of enterprise mobility, where Companies are now realizing the importance of mobile Apps. Now fortune 500 Companies decided to deploy HTML5 mobile Apps. But as we know nothing is easier and without challenges, same goes with developing enterprise mobile Apps.  Mobile app developers face various challenges while developing enterprise mobile Apps.  Let’s spend some time understanding the challenges.

1.Development Approach:   There are basically three approaches to develop mobile Apps and these are Web Apps, Native Apps and hybrid Apps. And to develop App for all the platform is really hard job.

To overcome this challenge, many mobile developers use platform like open source MoSync SDK, which allow developers to use C/C++ or HTML to develop Mobile Apps.

2.PLATFORM FRAGMENTATION: We have two main mobile platforms: Android and iOS.  Developing an App for each platform requires a different skill set and learning those skill sets is itself a challenge.

To overcome these challenges developers can go for multi channel development platforms such as phonehgap (To develop apps using PhoneGap, the developer does not require to have knowledge of mobile programming language but only web-development languages like HTML, CSS, and Jscript.)

3.PROCESS:  The traditional waterfall approach is not successful in developing mobile App. We can’t go for mobile App development with long planning and development cycles as we all are aware that the mobile landscape evolving so quickly.

4.BACK END INTEGRATION: Enterprise mobile App requires integration with the Companies back-end systems so that any information can be updated in real-time. Successful and real time backend integration requires lots of coding.

No need to worry, there is a solution for this problem. Mobile Developers can use mobile enterprise application development platform that includes a code free integration component with pre-built adapters.

5.DIFFERENT SIZE OF DEVICES: whether it’s Apple or any other Android mobile phone Company, they always launch a phone with various screen sizes and shapes, screen resolutions. Developers have to do lots of little adjustment just to show enterprise mobile App properly on each and every device.  And it’s a really tough job for any developers, and till there is no as such solutions are available for this problem.
