Lean Mobile App Development

By: Mike van Drongelen, Aravind Krishnaswamy

Overview of this book

Lean is the ultimate methodology for creating a startup that succeeds. Sounds great from a theoretical point of view, but what does that mean for you as an a technical co-founder or mobile developer? By applying the Lean Start-up methodology to your mobile App development, it will become so much easier to build apps that take Google Play or the App Store by storm. This book shows you how to bring together smarter business processes with technical know-how. It makes no sense to develop a brilliant app for six months or longer only to find out later that nobody is interested in it. Build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) first. Validate your hypotheses early and often. Discover effective product development strategies that let you put Facebook's famous axiom "move fast and break things" into practice. A great app without visibility and marketing clout is nothing, so use this book to market your app, making use of effective metrics that help you track and iterate all aspects of project performance.

In the case of iOS, there are a few tricks through which libraries can be loaded. The default iOS Xcode settings don't permit you to create a dynamic library, but that can be worked around by copying over the MacOS settings. However, while this can be tested out locally, roadblocks appear during code signing, and the kernel kills app libraries that are not signed by Apple with the same certificate. That said, since the app review process bars dynamic loading, it's unlikely to make it through their checklist.

Workarounds such as this-or others that...
