BOSTON, USA: Difficulties in porting applications across platforms and ensuring applications work across all devices within certain platforms cause frustration for developers of applications on mobile devices.
Developers would embrace the creation of standards to address this issue, according to a recent Strategy Analytics Wireless Device Lab report, “Mobile Application Developers Call for Standards.”
This report summarizes interviews conducted with application developers in North America and Western Europe designed to assess the keys to making compelling experiences on applications and the barriers developers face.
“App developers not only have difficulty porting their applications from one platform to another, developers also have difficulty across different devices in the same platform,” commented Chris Schreiner, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics. “On Blackberry devices in particular, differences in screen size, resolution, input methods and available features make each device seem built on different platforms.”
Kevin Nolan, Vice President of the Strategy Analytics User Experience Practice, added, “Developers also want a more consistent purchase experience for consumers, as well as more flexible pricing options, including subscription-based models.”
