Apple Makes It Easier For iPhone Developers
March 18, 2009 – 7:21 amApple is making things just a bit easier for iPhone developers to create and launch iPhone apps. On March 17th Apple unveiled a number of new innovations with their iPhone Software Developer Kit (SDK), that should streamline and improve the process of app development.
The likely result is that Apple will further solidify its position as the platform of choice for software developers—and as a result, many consumers. In just eight months programmers have created 25,000 applications that are available on Apple’s online App Store. Of those programmers, 62% had never written anything for an Apple product. So far, consumers have downloaded more than 800 million of these apps, which include everything from games like Tetris to software that helps diabetes patients manage insulin levels. The wide range of apps is a major reason the iPhone quickly jumped to No. 3 in the cutthroat smartphone market.
Continued iPhone app development is what will keep Apple ahead of their competition. Right now they have an extremely active development community.
