The Business Benefits of ApplePowered
SWIFT APP DEVELOPMENT
• Swift is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, compiled
programming language created for iOS, OS X, watchOS, tvOS
and Linux developed by Apple Inc.
• Swift is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa
Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C
code written for Apple products.
• Swift is intended to be more resilient to erroneous code ("safer")
than Objective-C and also more concise. It is built with the
LLVM compiler framework included in Xcode 6 and later and
uses the Objective-C runtime, which allows C, Objective-C,
C++ and Swift code to run within a single program.
Key Elements of
Swift App DevelopmentThat Can Impact Your Business.
Improving Your business With Swift
• The introduction of Swift as the new programming language
for iOS, although not a revolutionary one for mobile, will drive
developers to eventually phase out the use of Objective-C.
• New APIs for Touch ID, Extensibility, Notification Center, and
Handoff require mobile strategists to evaluate their impact on
the functionality of enterprise mobile apps.
• New security features, such as improved SSO and VPN, address
key enterprise requirements and mobile strategists must factor
these into mobile app development.
• Up until now, Objective C coding has been the mainstay for
iOS apps. When Swift hit the coding world last year however,
app developers came to see the new set of frameworks and
methodologies as simpler and more inclusive, enabling them
to use Xcode tools to write reliable code.
• It should be noted too that Apple has recently launched Swift
2, with even better and more developer-friendly features. And
Swift is just better for developing apps, not just for iOS, but also
for WatchOS and tvOS. Developers definitely need to learn
Swift.
Example of Some App Development On Swift
Reminders Nano
Streaks
ProCamera
Doorman
• Reminders Nano - For reasons best known to Apple's
developers, Reminders didn't make it to Apple Watch.
Reminders Nano picks up the slack, enabling you to browse
your existing reminders, mark items as done, add new things
to a list, and view what's already been completed.
• Streaks - This clean and simple habit-builder has come in for
some criticism due to its limitations: you only get to define six
habits, and must set them to happen on specific days of the
week. But it's effective to focus on a smaller number of tasks,
and the Apple Watch app is great for marking them as
done, and for keeping track via the app's complication.
• ProCamera - If you're already a user of ProCamera, this Apple
Watch app gives you a bit more control than Apple's own
camera remote. Along with a remote trigger, external viewfinder
preview, photo preview and timer, you can also use it to
configure the length of the timer delay and how many photos
will be shot.
• Doorman - Take the delivery fear out of online shopping with
Doorman, which ensures you never have another package
stolen from your doorstep.
The Broad Benefits of Swift App Development
Just like the name, Swift enables the applications to run
really fast and perform better. The Low Level Virtual Machine
compiler supported by Swift performs really quickly to
transform the code written by the developers into native
code. Added to this the coding formats or syntax and even
the standard libraries of Objective-C are fine tuned to make
the Swift code perform better.
Faster & Better Performance
Easy & Safer DevelopmentThe unsafe code criteria are eliminated in Swift. The
initialization of variables is must for use, arrays are checked for
overflow and various other code safety patterns are tuned.
The automatic garbage collection feature of it ensures that
the unused or unwanted data is deleted automatically.
Hence, memory management of the application becomes
easy as the developer will not have to devote resources for
memory management. Therefore, process of development of
iPhone apps is really safe and not that difficult.
The new iOS app development language adopts the readability
of named parameters and the power of dynamic object model of
the Objective-C. It is highly interoperable with the earlier
programming language and hence, easy for the iOS developers
to grasp who are already familiar with Objective-C.
Interoperable with Objective-C
