1. Little knowledge is always dangerous: It is often found that, new iOS developers want to create an awesome App without understanding the basic concepts. The most important part is the Terminology i.e. the common terms used in iOS. They simply ignore learning those basic yet most important stuffs and jumps into coding! This will give you little pleasure for little time but later you have to pay a huge for your ignorance. It is always recommended to learn all the basic concepts of any technology before you start your development process. In fact, in retrofitting work, it is noticed people starts working on the project without any KT i.e. Knowledge Transfer or Knowledge share. This is highly inefficient way of developing any product and especially if it belongs to Apple. I would like to say No information is far better than little information.
2. Don't be hurry: Why Hurry? Many iOS developers want to showcase their talent by doing some assignments quickly. They are not at all focused what they are doing; they are just focused about the output without any knowledge on the core logic. Many times, they argue to defend it by saying we are result oriented! Is this really the fair result? It might be looking great or functioning properly; but, is it optimized? Does its performance degrade? Then? Most importantly, are you serious enough about the core logic of the application? Your code might be looking great from one view; but it might be breaking any other module without your knowledge. You have to again fix it in future. So, it's always better to make the things in a perfection manner; not in less time. Less time consuming without perfection is not at all productive; it's actually inefficiency!!
3. Redesign is avoided by newbie: This is yet another common mistake found with iOS developers; they hesitate to make the design process repeatedly. They think they are highly efficient and confident in grasping the requirements of the app and so, in a single shot they can build its architecture. Let me clear one thing, “Nothing is perfect in this world”. The platform for which iOS developer creates app is not either perfect otherwise iOS v1 to v9 does not exist! So, how can your app be perfect in design without any iteration? So, redesign your work, again design and redesign for improved logic, improved user experience and improved efficiency. It will never harm your productivity rather improve it to a large extend.
4. Improper Data management: Many iOS developers used to take the help of XML for data storing. This is a ridiculous system of data management. It not only hampers the effectiveness of the application; but also creates unnecessary burden on the application. When the data get modified, overtime the XML file will be modified and restored in the folder- An absolute unproductive way of data management. Stop using this! Use SQLite for the same. It's there to serve the stuff in a superior approach. It may take some time to learn the query language and all; but once your learned it you can empower your iOS app with highly efficient data management tool of the industry.
5. User Experience sometimes goes in gutter! As an expert iOS developer, you should always focus on the user experience; because this is the biggest priority for Apple. Many iOS developers are found to focus only on the functionalities of the iOS app; they ignore the user experience meanwhile. This is really a bad practice; because this may lead to rejection of your iOS app during screening by Apple. So, make sure you are giving as importance to User Experience as that to the functionality sections. Logic without effect is useless!!
6. Versioning is avoided by many: Many iOS app developer are absolutely unaware of Versioning! Versioning is something that keeps track of your every change made in codebase. It's like a source code management tool. Every iOS developer should use this software in order to recover if anything goes wrong. In fact, developer can recover or revert or roll back his codebase to previous versions without any hassle. Again, it is also noticed that the iOS developer who knows the use of Versioning tool, they used to misuse it i.e. for every small change they commit the code. This is not at all good; it put pressure on the tool with unnecessary versions that are hardly used by the developer at any point of time. So, use versioning tool in a professional manner.
7. Cache management may be faulty: Cache management is extremely important for any application development process may it be web app, iOS app or any other types of smart app. It becomes even more important when we are dealing with a device that runs on 512MB RAM. But, this part is highly ignored by iOS developers; they focuses more on functionality and look n and feel of the application but ignores the cache management. Improper cache management means bad user experience. So be cautious!!
8. Not considering future technologies to adopt: Many iOS developer behave like herds; they don't pay interest to learn new technologies or even techniques. New technologies like HTML5, CSS3 etc can make the task of an iOS developer much easier than ever. Through these technologies, you can build much consistent and efficient iOS apps for your user. It also can help you in building light weight app that will help your iOS app to render smoothly on the devices like iPhone or iPad.
9. No priority to user interest: This is yet another concern for many iOS app developer. They want to integrate the latest iCloud service in their application; which is very good. But, are they keeping any option for those who don't have an iCloud account or who don't want to use it in their app. So, as a smart iOS app developer, you must think more about user's interest rather than yours that will in turn give you a better platform to build enterprise standard iOS app.
10. Improper Apple Pay integration: This is also an important mistake done by many iOS app developer. While integrating Apple Pay to their app, they forget about the users who don't have an Apple Pay account or about those who belongs to a region where there is no Apple Pay. So, think about them; after all, users are your biggest assets.
