Mobile App Development Process

In today’s digital age, having a mobile app for your business or brand is more than just a trend – it’s a necessity. But how does one transform a simple idea into a fully functioning app? The process is intricate and requires attention to details. With a special focus on Wiserli’s approach, this blog will walk you through the complete mobile app development process. Check out our current app on Play Store and App Store.

Before the development process kicks off, a clear idea is vital. For Wiserli, this is where we brainstorm, research, and refine your concept to ensure that it aligns with both market trends and our core competencies.

Wiserli believes in a robust planning process that involves:

• Market Research
• Technical Feasibility Assessment
• Tools & Platform Selection

This is the systematic gathering, recording, and analyzing of data about problems relating to the marketing of goods and services. At Wiserli, market research isn’t just about understanding the current market trends; it’s about anticipating them. We start by identifying potential competitors and studying their strengths and weaknesses. By evaluating the current market gaps and understanding user expectations, we establish the unique selling points (USPs) for the app. This not only ensures our client’s app stands out but also resonates with its target audience.

It is the evaluation of a project’s technical feasibility, ensuring that it can realistically be developed and offers value. Our team of experts meticulously examines the proposed app idea to determine its viability. This involves understanding the technical challenges that might arise during the development phase and ensuring that we have the necessary tools, skills, and technology to overcome them. We also analyze if the app’s functions can be integrated seamlessly, especially in terms of available technology and potential constraints.

This involves choosing the right development tools, languages, and platforms to ensure the app’s smooth functioning, scalability, and reach. We recognize the plethora of platforms and tools available for app development. After thorough research and feasibility analysis, Wiserli has chosen Flutter as its primary technology stack.

Flutter offers several advantages, including enhanced libraries and business logic, native app similarities, a hot-reload framework, high-performing framework, own rendering engine, and use of Dart

Bringing the visual aspect of your app to life is a process close to our hearts at Wiserli. We follow a two-step process:

• Wireframing
• UI/UX Design

This is a visual representation of an app’s layout, functionality, and flow, much like an architectural blueprint. Wireframes serve as a visual guide, ensuring that both the client and our development team are aligned in terms of the app’s structure and functionality. It’s a tool that facilitates communication, helping stakeholders visualize the app’s skeletal framework. Wireframes are easy to modify, allowing us to remain agile and adaptable.

UI (User Interface) is about the look and layout of the app, while UX (User Experience) focuses on the user’s journey and how they interact with the app. At the heart of our design process is the user. We conduct user persona studies, scenario mapping, and usability testing to ensure our designs are intuitive and cater to the needs and preferences of the target audience. Before delving into full-fledged development, we create interactive prototypes. This allows stakeholders to get a feel of the app, providing insights into the user journey, transitions between screens, and overall functionality. While ensuring usability, we also prioritize maintaining brand consistency.

The actual creation of an app is a meticulous process where ideas transform into reality. At Wiserli, our developers, with their expertise in Flutter and other cutting-edge technologies, ensure that every layer of the app, from the surface right down to its core, operates seamlessly. Let’s delve deeper into the intricacies of Front-end and Back-end development.

• Front-end Development
• Back-end Development

Front-end development deals with the visual and interactive part of an app — what the user sees and interacts with.

Wiserli’s Approach to Front-end Development:

• Seamless UI with Flutter: Our expertise in Flutter allows us to craft fluid and dynamic user interfaces. Flutter’s widget-centric design promotes creating reusable UI components, ensuring consistency across the app and accelerating the development process.
• Interactive Elements: Beyond the static elements, interactive components like buttons, sliders, and gestures are meticulously coded to ensure smooth user interactions. Feedback mechanisms, such as animations or haptic feedback, are integrated to make the app feel more responsive.
• Responsive Design: Given the myriad of devices with varying screen sizes and resolutions, our front-end development ensures the app looks impeccable and functions without hitches across all devices.
• Performance Optimization: Front-end isn’t just about appearance. Our team optimizes the code to ensure swift load times, seamless transitions, and minimal resource consumption.

The back-end involves server-side development, databases, and application logic — the part users don’t see but is crucial for the app’s functionality.

Wiserli’s Approach to Back-end Development:

• Databases with Firebase & back4app: Our choice of Firebase and back4app for databases stems from their modern capabilities. Firebase, with its real-time database, ensures immediate reflection of changes, making apps feel instantaneous. Its scalability ensures that as the user base grows, the app remains swift. Security mechanisms in Firebase also guarantee that user data remains protected.back4app, with its flexibility, streamlines back-end processes, and its powerful querying capabilities ensure data is fetched efficiently. This combination provides a robust and flexible back-end structure that can cater to diverse app needs.
• API Integration: Modern apps often require integration with other services, be it payment gateways, social media platforms, or third-party tools. Our back-end team ensures seamless API integrations, ensuring all parts of the app ecosystem communicate flawlessly.
• Scalability & Maintenance: An app’s success can lead to an influx of users. Our back-end infrastructure is designed to scale seamlessly, ensuring consistent performance. Regular maintenance checks and updates ensure the back-end remains glitch-free.
• Security: Given the sensitivity of user data, our back-end development prioritizes security. From secure authentication processes to encrypted data storage, every step is taken to ensure user data’s integrity and safety.

For Wiserli, quality assurance is paramount. We focus on:

• Functional Testing
• Security Testing
• Performance Testing
• Usability Testing

Releasing your app on platforms like Apple App Store or Google Play Store is executed with precision and care, ensuring visibility and adherence to platform-specific criteria. Check out our current app on Play Store and App Store.

Wiserli believes in long-term relationships. We stand by our products, constantly monitoring feedback, app performance, and ensuring regular updates to keep the app relevant and efficient.

One aspect that sets Wiserli apart is the emphasis on clean code and architecture. Using the BLoC pattern, Wiserli ensures the app logic remains separate from the interface, making the code maintainable and scalable. With well-maintained documentation and an organized file structure, the code becomes easy to understand, modify, and upgrade.
