Mobile Development Trends for 2015

The development of mobile apps reached the mainstream in its true sense with the users ending up with an app for all kinds of jobs. But you will be surprised to know that the mobile app development is still in its beginning stages. A number of research studies have explained this fact. According to them while 2014 witnessed the development of apps for everything, in 2015, the focus would be on convenience. It is estimated that in 2015 the app market will grow by leaps and bounds. It will offer huge growth as well as monetary returns. Therefore, app development is set to evolve as a lucrative market with its varied approaches from the developers. These professionals are striving to introduce both comfort and convenience in routine tasks through the apps. In addition, mobile commerce will enjoy a boost too. These factors will definitely lead to certain major developments in the world of mobile apps in 2015.

Let’s take a look at some of the impending trends:

HTML5 to be recognized as the best platform for mobile development: In the past few years HTML5 has garnered huge popularity as a mobile development platform. It is expected that this trend will continue. Rather its popularity will increase in the coming year. As far as iOS 7 is concerned, it supports JavaScript as the language in its XCode tool chain. Today, however, iOS is no longer a dominating platform. Hence, the developers are looking for more option for cross platform development. Under such current situation, besides, iOS and Android, HTML5 is evolving as the next best thing in this field. Besides, as an open source project, the PhoneGap is a good choice which is also supported by Adobe. As a matter of fact, there is a continuous development as far as its features and hardware supports are concerned.

Android vs. iOS: It is expected that Android will come out as the clear winner in this war. In comparison to iOS android has been constantly growing as a mobile platform. In the last years the number of developers using Android has grown by 71%. However, presently, iOS receives better developer’s revenue owing to its huge market as well as the low end Android phones.

What cannot be overlooked in this war is the presence of Google. Amidst iOs and Android’s war, Google seems to be gaining significantly. It is also gradually uniting the split version of Android. Moreover, it is also moving most of the functionalities to the Google Play. In this regard, too, the Android apps seem to be the final winner.

More and more new OS-es will be coming into existence: Of course, Android and iOS are still the two dominant forces in the world of mobile OS. But gradually other operating systems will be catching up with these two. Although Windows and Blackberry are still lacking behind but it is speculated that by 2015 new operating systems will be gaining popularity in the commercial market. Ubuntu’s mobile version, Firefox OS, Sailfish and Tizen are some of the OS-es that might also gain popularity in the market.

Boost in connected objects: Google recently bought Nest, the maker of smart apps. Along the same line Samsung has also launched a washing machine that is entirely controlled by Wi-Fi in addition to the smart televisions and video games. It is expected that in 2015 more of such connected devices will come into existence. Such technological products might include wearable items, household appliances and several other products.

Native apps to decrease: It is an often repeated cycle in the world of technology in which a new product gains popularity and rises, the older versions slowly become redundant. The same trend will be noticed in 2015 as well. There will be changes in the mobile platform scenario where the new, riding trends in the web will result in the decrease in the popularity of the native mobile applications.

Rise of the Meteor: This is one app that is expected to rise steadily in the coming year. Owing to its awesome features more and more users will choose this framework in the future. One of its biggest advantages is that it offers updates on real time UI without putting any efforts. It is also extremely productive and simple to use.

Bend towards the wearable devices: This trend has already being in 2014. By next year there is a possibility that more wearable items will come into existence. As a result apps related to these devices will also be developed on a large scale.

The digital platforms today require more security than ever. This year there have been several incidents where these platforms have been hacked as secured data have been leaked. Hence, there will be a trend towards securing the apps more strongly in 2015. Hence apps that can improve the security rates will also be developed.
