Apple's trends in 2019 iOS app developers should stay updated to

Apple always keeps itself reinvented and modernized since the very first day founded to remain their leading position in the world of software development enterprises. Each change implement by Apple has been prove to be trend. And the followings are things that Apple would make trending in the year of 2019. 

1. Security for iOS applications:

Losing personal data has become the warning thread over the past few years. Event key figures in the technology industry like Facebook and Apple have involved in the cased of personal data leak. In the meantime, hackers have improved their tech and got more advanced. So, not only Apple, others technology company also focus on the issue of enhancing their security to readily encounter any attack. For Apple is at the same time the application development company and platform provider, concerns about security are mandatory for both the applications released and the platform also.

All the iOS apps are provided with an internal virtual “glass case” created by the operation system. This would restrict the number of channels through which the app could interact with the system. Besides, Apple also apply two-factor authentication technique for all of their apps currently to face modern cyber-attack. The iOS developers, therefore, should familiar themselves with newly developed security policies of Apple to adapt quickly with the changes. 

2. Swift 4 popularity among iOS developers

Swift has long been recognized as favorite language for iOS sofware development among Apple iOS developers. With the new release last year (Swift 4) is now compatible with iOS platform and at the same time Linux OS. With this upgrade, developers now think of mac OS and tv OS pre-compilation. 

Using Swift 4 is predicted to be massive trend among developers working in application development industry, especially iOS. Beside the fact that Swift is not difficult to learn, the programming language is also known for its scalable ability and security robust. In addition, it fastens the process of development and occupies much less memory then previous versions. The standard library of the language is also improved, the developers now can utilize the string implementation in an easier way and maintain Unicode while managing the correctness of substrings. 

4. IoT and Wearable devices

The number of internet devices all over the world by 2020 is predicted to be 50 billion – by Cisco. And averagely, each person on the earth would likely to interact with 10 devices at least. Apple of course does not want to be left behind in this race. The brand has been increasing it development and secure in IoT based software to enhance the user’s experience in using digital signals for sensors and transducers. 

Apple’s Homekit, thanks to the movement of IoT devices, becomes more and more popular. The device allow users to connect with their IoT devices through an unique mobile app developed by Apple. 

With the development of Iot mobile deveices and Apple’s Homekit – and platform that allow it’s users to spontaneously connect with their IoT devices – now people could visualize that they could control their home in distance via the devices connected to the internet.

Conclusion: 

In the contemporary dynamic world, trends in industry change so quickly. Stay updated and adapted with changes could make an any iOS app developer successful.
