In the past to publish an application, you would have to head over to the monopolize mobile carrier like SingTel, M1 or StarHub to get your application to their millions of subscribers. This waiting time process takes a long time and it is frustrating if you're inpatient. Firstly you have to create the application and you have to make sure that the coding is neat and perfect. The graphic must be up to standard. After which, you have to write a proposal to allow these mobile carrier to publish your application to their database.
Apart from the waiting time, the payment fee is huge. To publish a single application it could be a few thousands and thousands of dollars. Okay even you can afford it, it doesn't mean that your application will be approve. Your application will be pilled up like thousands of other big corporate application.
The game have changed after phone like Apple release AppStore in iPhone 3 while other Android phone have Google Market Place in the past which have been rename to PlayStore. This have lowered to barrier of entry which means everyone who can develop an application could have published them to the phone marketplace. Isn't that great?
No! It's better than that. You will only have to pay $99 annually to be one of Apple developer to get the apple developer kit. Also the waiting time have been much more efficient and active. What you have to do is to program the language of different code for different platform like Xcode for Apple.
With the increase in technology, you could develop your application TODAY not even knowing programming skills using a drag and drop method. This is incredible. We will be learning a few platform with extreme features in the upcoming post. So stay tune.
