The document discusses various challenges faced by iOS app developers, including membership eligibility, strict app store standards leading to potential rejections, and the need for device compatibility with numerous iPhone types. It highlights concerns such as resource consumption, battery optimization, storage issues, and the requirement to maintain high-quality UI/UX standards. Additionally, developers must use Apple hardware for app development, which adds to the overall complexity and cost of the process.

1. What are the Challenges in iOS
App Development?
Apple is growing every day. Over the years, iOS is broadly used on a collection of
devices containing an iPad, iPhone, and iPod. And however, with a new update,
Apple provides new features and complications for developers over the world.
Some iOS development challenges are discussed below:
Challenges Faced by iOS Developers

2. Anybody can create an iOS app by using the iOS app development kit, which is
frequently updated by Apple. But iOS app developers do face some challenges
while developing an iOS app, like:
Eligibility
If you need to allocate your app on the App Store, you have to be 18 years or
older and you have to buy a membership by giving a fee of 97 USD per year. This
can be an existent difficulty for new creators who are just beginning out with iOS
development or for somebody who is just testing with an idea. Similarly, the
requirement can be a preventive feature for new developers who are brilliant but
do not see the age principles.
Rejection from the App Store
Apple is very stern about the value standards for apps in the App Store and has
placed down clear rules that an app must survey. Your app might get banned due
to the following reasons:
 Poor Performance: An app can be banned if it doesn’t run easily without
any major breaks. Apple gives the highest priority to customer happiness
and if the app is slow to load, it is indifferent or if it has major errors, there
is the best chance that the app will get disallowed from the App Store.
 Lack of information about the app: All app must contain metadata which
defines what the app ensures, like screenshots, videos, and explanations.
 Safety Issues: The app would not contain horrible content that might
contain content that helps violence, pornography, or consumption of illegal
drugs, etc. If the app is in the child's category, then it can’t contain third-
party analytics or third-party marketing.
 Substandard UI and UX: The app must have a great user interface which is
not too confusing for the users. The layout should be attractive to the eye
and must contain proper borders and packaging.
 Copy of existing app: If the app is just a replica of another app in the App
Store, it will be disallowed as it does not contain any original content.
Device Compatibility
Apple has launched 11 iPhone types, and each new iPhone derives with major
features in both software and hardware. Developers have to continually absorb
the new features in the new versions and modernize the app consequently; or

3. else, the app will not run on the new iPhone. Though it takes a while for an
innovative iPhone to be out when related to Android, developers still have to save
in mind about the key changes in the iOS updates and iOS challenges.
Resource Consumption
An app has incomplete resources offered to it and it must reduce the use of
serious properties like the battery, CPU power, and memory, or else, it might
disturb the proper working of the device. This can hasty the user to uninstall the
app from the device or provide it low rankings, which might disturb the popularity
of the app in the App Store. To use resources optimally, the app should be
allowed from major errors and should not hold needless code. The focus should
be known on testing the app and eliminating bugs in an agile method.
Occasionally developers have to make two types of the same app for creating it
friendly with both low and high-end devices. This can rise development time and
cost to continue two versions of the same app.
Hardware and Software Requirements
The main effort while creating an iOS app is that the Combined Development
Location applied for developing them is only friendly with Mac. A developer has
to take a Mac device to build an iOS app. This hardware limitation requires the
developer to construct on a particular stage thereby adding to the difficulty.
Storage Issues
The problem associated with memory and storing restriction is mostly due to the
amount of Apple devices, each devising its own set of space.
Many iOS app developers fail in testing out the device storage limits and how the
app will execute on various Apple devices.
Battery and Performance Optimization
Battery Drainage is a very important difficulty that is common with Apple users. A
customer inclines to uninstall an IOS app on the off chance that they find out that
it is demanding out their phone battery. So, iOS app developers want to certify
that the request doesn't run any sort of excessive process that can suck the
battery life. Battery and performance optimization itself is a tough task that
should be just looked-upon mostly when any new iOS version is launched.

4. High Expectations of UX/UI
As of High-quality UX and hard layout, iOS has developed as the top best of users.
While creating an iOS app, developers need to recollect the requirements and
probability of the end-users. They have to make sure the UI contains just the
essential features so as to create an easy to recognize the functionality. While
making UI/UX for an app, designers ought to study existing designs, so as to
create a clever and instinctive interface. Since Apple has continuously provided its
customers with top-notch quality, the designers have the responsibility of keeping
up the quality of the apps, or else users will not like it.
