I Guess, Dreadlocks Suited That Guy

I once went to my favorite cafe and saw a man with the weirdest hairdo (it didn't look weird, but I found it so). His hair seemed like they had not been washed since ages. But they looked, in a way, cool. I guess, dreadlocks suited that guy. Read on to know how you can give yourself this high maintenance hairdo, or just make sure you get it the “natural way”!

Now that you’ve seen your app in it’s fully functioning form, you need to call the troops back and ask they to do the same. Ask the same people who viewed your app in it’s development phase to examine it in it’s testing phase as well. Again, open yourself up to constructive criticism, and use the feedback accordingly.

Lastly, ask your developer and your designer to make any changes that you feel would be valuable to your app. You’ve looked at your app through several different lenses, and you think you’ve managed to develop a smoothly functioning, aesthetically pleasing, problem solving app. Now, you need to examine how your app is going to function in a live environment. Android makes this process simple, while iOS likes to keep things in a controlled environment.

There’s pros and cons to both approaches, but the bottom line is you need to jump through one last hoop. You can simply upload your app file on any android device and test it in a live environment. From here on out in your Android app development process, you can monitor your apps progress from your device.

OS requires you use a platform called TestFlight to beta test your app. Apple is pretty thorough with its directions and instructions for using its beta test platform. A great feature to this beta testing option is that you can invite testers to review your app before taking it live.

It’s yet another user lens through which you can view your app. You’ve made it to the finish line. You’ve brought your idea to fruition, and the last step is to share it with the world. Hopefully, you’ve gone on to solve a major problem. If not, with any luck your app has some features that can simplify or bring enjoyment to someone’s life.

Regardless, you’ve accomplished something big. Now it’s time to distribute it! Android and iOS, again are very different with regard to marketing apps. If you stick with this business, you will see a pattern emerge—Android is a little less strict. Again, there are pros and cons to both approaches, but as an app entrepreneur, you will need to learn the rules for both.

You can simply add your app to the android store. It will not be reviewed right away. You will instantly be selling your app in the Google Play store. OS, on the other hand, will review your app before it can go live. While there is no set time frame for the Apple team to review your app and push it on the shelves, you can guestimate about a week of waiting. If you are anxious about getting your app onto the devices of users, you can also publish it in Pre-Apps.

This is a great opportunity to have your app viewed by people who like to have a first look at new ideas. Keep in mind, these people are always reviewing up and coming ideas, so their feedback could be great for you. I’d advise taking this extra step—if for nothing more than to learn more about the app world.

You need to remember that you still have to sell your app. Just because your app is in the store does not mean you are going to start making millions tomorrow. Marketing is a must. Sadly, marketing cannot just be added onto this guide as “Step 13”. It’s got quite a few steps of its own. So, now that you know how to make an app, I’d advise you to begin researching app marketing strategies so that you can change the world one app at a time!
