With the technology industry constantly evolving at an incredibly fast pace, it is one of the areas where innovations and creativity are refined and polished. New technologies, platforms, programming, frameworks and tools are always emerging and keeping pace with these changes, requiring continuous learning and adaptation.
If you’re an app developer, navigating these complexities requires extensive expertise, resources, and a holistic understanding of the various dimensions of the industry. Here are three steps to consider:
Identify the challenges and possible solutions
Developing an app can be a daunting task for small businesses due to the many complex procedures required. Some common challenges include having limited resources, especially when it comes to budget and capacity. As a result, developing an app will require a significant investment of time and money, which may not be feasible for many.
Businesses also need technical expertise in various areas such as coding, UX/UI design, and app architecture. If you’re just starting out and building your first app, you may not have in-house experts and have to outsource work to third-party developers, which can be costly.
When it comes to compatibility, it is imperative that apps are suitable for different devices, operating systems and screen sizes. Ensuring compatibility across all platforms can be difficult and requires additional development work. Similarly, security is a critical aspect of app development, for which you may not have the resources or expertise to ensure that your app is protected against potential threats.
Also, because the app market is highly competitive, small businesses often find it difficult to stand out among the thousands of apps available. That is why it is crucial that entrepreneurs think carefully about what they may be facing and find solutions to the problems.
For starters, you can seek support by partnering with technical experts and experienced app developers to leverage app development tools and platforms.
Find a suitable technology company to partner with
Huawei, like other technology companies, invests heavily in research and development to close the technology gap in Africa. The company has a strong focus on innovation and has made significant progress in supporting and driving the development of new technologies and innovations.
Small businesses have been taking advantage of the Huawei developer program(HDP). This division includes an ecosystem of tools, resources and support designed to help developers build, distribute, optimize and monetize their applications on Huawei devices. Through these platforms, developers can access a range of services, including development kits, technical support, marketing support, and financing options to grow and scale their businesses.
Huawei is also committed to promoting open innovation and collaboration with other tech developers. Huawei has established several OpenLabs around the world, collaborative spaces where developers can work together to develop new technologies and solutions.
Market your app
AppGallery is Huawei’s official app distribution platform, offering developers a great way to reach a huge audience of over 9 million device users. By publishing your app to AppGallery, you can make it easy for device users to discover and download your app. With a global presence and availability in over 170 countries, AppGallery is especially useful if you’re looking to expand your app’s reach beyond your local market and tap into new international markets.
Enhanced app promotion is also guaranteed as Huawei provides various promotion tools and resources to help you promote your app on AppGallery. This includes featured placements, promotional campaigns and marketing support that can help maximize your app’s visibility and impact in the app market and drive downloads and engagement.
Since security and privacy measures are key to the user experience, you want an app market with comprehensive protection. Huawei has a comprehensive four-layer security detection mechanism to scan apps for potential security threats before publishing them on AppGallery, helping to create a safe and trusted environment for app users.
