WHY APPLE REJECTS YOUR APP

During my career span, I have noticed many a developer making a hue & cry about app rejection at the Apple store and they consider it to be no reason for the rejection, on the contrary, what they fail to understand that, Apple does not reject any ios app just for a lark, rather there are some reasons for this footfalls. Today I am going to share those reasons only which, if taken and considered well in time then can save you from the app rejection at the Apple Store.

Your app process is completed, today is the launch day and what you are getting by evening, that your app is rejected by the Apple store, it is the most dreadful thing to hear from your app developers and quite disheartening as well, but a harsh fact too. To get the app maximum attention, is every developer’s and business owner’s dream, but when the app does not get approved by the Apple store, then something within you gets broken, I speak from my own set of experience, where I have seen all sorts of ups and downs from a developer’s perspective.

Apple Strategy

The perfection is the word which correlates well with the Apple working strategy; Apple is very particular about its rules & regulations and works in a perfect manner to submit any mobile app. Apple’s highly selective review process ensures that all apps that appear on their store are perfect and well-balanced in terms of content, usability, and design. So the rejection is very much obvious for the mobile apps, which encourages the developers to improve their app and resubmit it, but unfortunately, the exact process of Apple’s review policy is not known to everyone, yet there are the most prominent reasons which can lead to app rejection on the apple store, read further to know it better and save the horror of rejection for your mobile app:

• Incomplete Information

 The incomplete set of information is the topmost reason for app rejection, while filling up the details, makes sure to fill in all the information required for review. Make sure that every app feature is mentioned fully coupled with a demo video if the installation or the configuration process is different from the usual mobile applications. When it comes to special configurations, include the specifics required and this step will help you to gain positive attention from the Apple review process.

• Fix The Bugs

As an app developer your job does not stop at the development, rather it incurs other processes as well to be followed up with the development process and the app bug fixing is one of those features. Apple instantly rejects any app which contains bugs or crashes at the regular intervals. You need to be very particular with the testing system, to test the bugs beforehand and then submit the app.

• Don’t Copy

Apple is famous to encourage the unique app concepts and different from others. So it is always advisable to avoid duplicity if you create something which is similar to something else, Apple review process has a sharp view to check out such similarities and would reject your app on this basis only. You should provide unique features to your app and then submit it for reviewing.

User Interface

Unfortunately, not a single app comes with a manual guide to using it, hence your app needs to be logical, convenient, and polished, and so your users can understand how to use the app effortlessly. The best practice to save your app from being rejected is to understand the interface guidelines offered by Apple, before developing a mobile app and your app can be selected without any hurdle.

Content

The content plays a vital role in the Apple review process, as a developer make sure that your developed app has followed all the terms and conditions stated in the Apple trademarks and copyrights guidelines and Apple trademark list. Also, your app content should not bring a yawn to your users, which means it needs to be engaging enough to motivate your users to keep using your app.

Advertisements

While testing your apps to make sure that every ad featured within your app are displayed properly, and to leave no room for error, test it on several devices. Also, integrate the IDFA (Advertising Identifier) within your app, to serve advertisements along with ad functionality.

Be Cautious With Your Words

Apple wants a more organized, systematic and clean product in Apple store, so anything mentioned with “beta,” “demo,” or “test” will mark a point, that your app is incomplete and is not finalized, as a result, Apple rejects your app, considering these words. So make sure not use these or any such words which show your app is still in the development stage and has put for review by mistake.

Don’t Mislead the Users

If you have mentioned some features within the app, but actually your app does not contain, then Apple considers it to be highly misleading and as a consequence, your app gets rejected at the very first moment it is placed for review. So make sure that your app should deliver all the features and functionalities mentioned.

BATTLE BETWEEN ANDROID AND IOS

I made up my mind, I needed a new Smartphone which would make a pace with the technology, had decided the budget, but the time I decided to pick the apt Smartphone OS, I was flooded with the most tumultuous thoughts…It happened to me and happens to many of us every day. Every Smartphone OS has their pros and cons and beyond the shadow of a doubt, nobody wants to take a risk before making a big decision of their life. For most of spending such a hefty amount is not throwing peanuts on the road, but rather an investment and we all want to make the best of what we spend. I had gone through that phase and understand the dilemma everybody goes through. I have collected few real-time facts for the two topmost Smartphone OS, iOS & Android, to make the Smartphone purchase a little easier for the readers.

The Design

Once you decide fully to buy a Smartphone, first you need to consider the design of the phone. Though it’s not the most prominent aspect to affect your phone purchase but relevant somehow. On being compared, the iPhone all the model’s look is more or less similar in look and feel, which is quite simple and sleek. On the contrary, android phones’ look varies since there are many phone manufacturers and they inculcate their particular signature design and style in the mobile’s look and feel.

Android device’s major USP is the customization options provided within the phone internal system, which lets the user to experiment and explore the Android system at the most possible.  Whereas, iOS devices’ outgrow least complications, which is too précised with zero transition time required, which makes the iOS most user-friendly of all.

Set of Applications

Mobile applications are everyone’s favorite, some use it to gain knowledge or some use it for entertainment. The download interface of mobile apps has its own advantages and disadvantages in every device. Mobile apps on iOS device are highly controlled by the Apple store, which makes a strict guideline for the QC check and every mobile app is sifted thoroughly on Apple store and undergoes a lot of testing before being available to be downloaded. It certainly halts the number of more mobile apps on the store, but with safety and quality guaranteed. On the other hand, android has a huge variety of applications on the Android, because there is no stringent policy for the quality check from Google, so the user has a pool of apps to choose from. Although, downloading the apps from unknown sites or stores can lead to hazardous security risk. The user can download the apps from the trusted app stores, such as Amazon App Store, the Android Market, or direct from the Google Play store lessen that risk.

Camera

Android devices’ provide panorama shots and slow-motion and also let the user explore the heights of fun with the pictures taken through Android camera and image apps.

Images taken with Apple phones are higher in the quality, clearer and sharper too. Apple device design, work as an icing on the cake, and a user can experiment and play with the images through high-quality Apple apps, similar to android apps.

Phone Update

Android had been critiqued in the past for the slow updates and low download speed, but Google has given a solution by moving a big chunk of essential apps to the Google Play Store, which leads to the required app update merely but not the full OS update. When we discuss iOS, then Apple allows updates whenever available, but with a major update annually, and many users find it troublesome and space consuming. Android promises the smaller and much-needed updates and iOS opt for the tiring and longer update.

Budget Device

It is known to all, Apple doesn’t make budget devices, except the recent price slash for iPhone 7 and 7S price. The iPhone has always been the most expensive handsets on the market, costing $200 with a two-year contract and $650 without.  On the other side, Android offers a huge choice of low-cost handsets from a vast variety of different manufacturers and the innovative designs.

What To Pick

When I made the above-mentioned comparison, instead of being relieved I was perplexed more. But today I will give you a golden mantra, which worked for me as well; I divided my requirements into different segments and checked which OS falls into my favorite category. Just do some homework on your requirements and select any of the below-mentioned options, to choose the perfect Smartphone OS:

• The Android OS is the best option for you, if limitless customization, integrated with the freedom to make your phone work as you need, is your major concern.
• iPhone OS is your answer if you are a composer user, who is looking for sleek design, updated features with a secured and a succinct number of mobile apps.

To conclude, and with a more realistic approach different categories will be important to different people, so one should focus more on, which makes a difference to you. Both the platforms are the best platforms with a huge canvas of an equal number of pros and cons. Let your need to make a decision for you because at the end of the day with the upcoming technology a lot more is yet to come from both the operating systems.

Google launches Allo, its AI-centric messaging app

Google's new messaging app is here. 

The company is launching Allo, its AI-centric messaging app for iOS and Android that offers an early peek at some of its most robust artificial intelligence capabilities yet. First previewed during its I/O developer conference earlier this year, the app combines the best of Google's predictive and search superpowers along with an all-new personal assistant feature. 

At first glance, Allo looks very similar to many other messaging apps. You sign up with your phone number and after verifying your identity, the app scans your address book to find people you may know who are also using the app. 

Beginning a one-on-one or group chat is fairly straightforward. In addition to the standard text messages, you can record a voice message, send a photo with a doodle (for Android only right now), or share a map to your current location. The app also includes a number of themed sticker packs you can use to liven up your chats. 

But none of that is why you'll want to use Allo. The reason you'll want to use Allo is because it offers a hint at the AI-filled future Google envisions. It's home to Google Assistant, the new conversational assistant that Google plans to bring to many more of its consumer products. 

The first sign that Allo is a bit smarter than the standard messaging app is through a feature called Smart Replies. Throughout your conversations, the app will suggest words and phrases before you start typing. If someone asks "how was your weekend," for instance, the app may suggest "it was good" or "fun." Google has been experimenting with this type of technology for awhile — it rolled out a similar feature for its email app, Inbox, last year — and Allo's Smart Replies are surprisingly good. In my early testing, the automatically generated responses were useful more often than not, though they did occasionally miss the mark. 

Even more impressive, Google has combined this feature with its photo recognition abilities, so the app is able to suggest responses to photos that are shared within your conversation. 

But Smart Replies are just the start of Allo's AI savvy. More importantly, the app is Google's first opportunity to show off Google Assistant.

It's all about the Assistant

First off, a quick word about (the rather poorly named) Google Assistant. While you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a bot like those used in Facebook Messenger, Kik and other apps, Google Assistant is much more than a simple messaging bot, which tend to have a fairly limited set of capabilities. Instead, Google Assistant is much closer to Facebook's vision for M, the social network's own AI-based assistant. (Facebook M, however, is still limited to a small number of early testers and largely depends on humans to oversee its interactions.) 

Google Assistant is still in a "preview" stage, according to Google, who plans to bring the feature to many more products in the future, like its smart speaker Google Home. But, preview or not, the feature is already more impressive than gimmicky. 

There are two ways to interact with Google Assistant. You can chat with it directly — Assistant appears alongside your other conversations in the app — or you can call it up while you're chatting with friends by starting a message with @Google.

In both cases, it can help with many things that you would use a quick Google search for (think translations, conversions, directions, flight statuses etc.) and even has a few extra tricks, like (again) photo recognition. I uploaded a photo I snapped on a recent vacation to the Mayan pyramid at Chichen Itza in Mexico, and Google Assistant quickly asked me if I wanted to learn more about Mayan history. 

When you're in a chat with one or more friends you can use Google Assistant as a kind of shortcut to Google searches. Things that Google can do "natively" like conversions, simple Google searches and translations will appear directly in your chat while other queries will surface links to Google results.

It may take a little getting used to — it feels a bit clunky to "ask" Google a question in the middle of a conversation — but it's actually pretty useful (and saves a lot of app switching.) 

Google Assistant is even more useful when you get it one-on-one. There, in addition to everything else, you can ask the assistant about your calendar, set reminders and get the latest headlines. If you have an Android device, you can also set alarms, timers, search your photos and make phone calls via Google Assistant. 

Allo's creators have also made sure that Google Assistant has the nerdy sense of humor we've come to expect from Google. It may not have Siri's dry wit, but it is more than up for a joke or two and you can even play a few games with it.

The "creepy" factor

Google's biggest hurdle with Allo may be convincing people that all this AI isn't creepy. While tech enthusiasts may think its cool that Google can recognize the photos I'm sharing, predict what messages I want to write, and help me make weekend plans, others may find it a bit creepy. But Google has made efforts to address the concerns of the privacy conscious as well.

Messages sent within Allo are encrypted by default, but don't use end-to-end encryption, a standard favored by members of the security community and privacy advocates. You can, however, opt for an incognito chat, which does use end-to-end encryption. These conversations can also include self-destructing messages and the ability to block new messages from appearing on your phone's lock screen. 

Whether or not these features will be enough to persuade skeptics is another matter. But if Google can make its assistant feel more necessary than creepy, then it might win people over. While Google's future plans for the feature are so far unclear, it's already promised we'll see it in a lot more places very soon and that it will only improve and get smarter over time. And that certainly seems like a good start.
