It is true that iPhone is highly getting momentum with each consecutive release as it comes with new
technologies and user experiences which are a first in the niche market. Therefore, iPhone development
is lucrative mobile development area for mobile developers as well as web developers who are
awaiting to reap the benefits of such huge demand within shortest time. The freshers are trying hard to
learn iPhone application development as early as possible and at professional level.
In due course, I have posted a small series for newbies to know the useful learning tools to hit the
iPhone programming with ease. Today we will discuss about the iPhone human interface guidelines
drawn by Apple for App store. This is extremely important because the success secrete of Apple is
amalgamate of UX with latest hardware as well as software technologies. Therefore, Apple has done
die hard try to enforce the rules of user experiences on the iPhone developer who wish to place her
iPhone app in the App store.
The hard of best UX is in the creation of user interfaces for the iPhone application. Thus, Apple wishes
that iPhone programmer should have enough knowledge of good user experiences and hence user
interface development techniques and tricks. In due course it has issued a human interface guidelines
make things simple yet functional. Just think if your icons are not designed according to guidelines
where you have to put active area in certain minimum dimensions your user will not tapp correctly on
the button or can't recognize that what that icon means and where it will lead to you.
Therefore, iPhone app developer has to leave active area big enough that when a user tap it with her
thumb it won't activate action other than assigned to that button or can't mistakenly tap the adjoining
button and feel frustration and think about the leaving your app immediately.
