Basic Mobile Application Development
If you get the idea of developing a mobile app or want to know how to make a mobile app, you will come across many questions.
- What should you know before making a mobile app?
- What is the life cycle of mobile app development?
- What are the steps to improve the app?
- How can you improve your mobile app from scratch?
- How long does it take to upgrade the app?
- How do you plan a mobile app development process?
We receive many such questions from our customers. So we decided to write a blog on the same topic, which we can share with our future clients and to help them get introduced to the app development. So bookmark this article if you want to know how to make a successful app.
The reason? Because this article will help you understand the basics of iOS and the process of developing an Android mobile app step by step, and its methods.
Step by Step Mobile Application Improvement Process
We have created our app development process that contains 9 steps that can be done. Our app development follows these steps to improve high-quality mobile applications.
Project Need Discussion
The first phase of the mobile app development process involves discussing a project. We will have a regular, regular, short call to see if we can help you and we can move this project forward.
Business Understanding and Evaluation
After the initial discussion and understanding of your point of view, we take the first meeting, where we decide on team members and offer recommendations or suggestions for the development of your application. Our process at the meeting begins with the involvement of QA and the discovery of a test case.
Early participation enables QA to better understand your needs. Application flow-related issues are resolved in the first step.
Once the needs analysis and designs have been prepared, QA begins with the creation of a test case. It requires 20% of the extra effort of any effort we measure to test. We are trying to cover potential test scenarios while writing test cases.
Signing the NDA
Why NDA for your app idea?
Many application development companies ignore this step. However, we guarantee that your feedback is safe for us as it is one of the most important stages of mobile app development. It avoids conflicts or misunderstandings between the client and the app development company.
What Will You Find in a Project Development Agreement?
The agreement contains the following points.
- Delivery Project
- Landmark
- Categories of law
- Reference / Appendices
Following the completion of the project discussion and provisional evaluation, the next step in mobile application development is to sign a project development agreement which is key to integrating with Moon Technolabs.
Wireframing for the app
Wireframing is one of the most important steps in developing a mobile app. To design a wireframe, it is important to understand the requirements of the project well. Then, communication methods (Slack, Skype, Basecamp) need to be understood.
Once the communication method is understood, the question of how long it will take to design the application. The design component is a very complex step in developing mobile applications. Before starting the development process, it is important to complete the wireframing steps in the development of the mobile application.
UI / UX Design
Questions we ask our customers
- What color would you prefer in your app?
- Basic color preferences and fonts
- What are your favorite apps?
According to your preference, we make sample screens using the design tools of the mobile app such as
- Adobe XD
- Sketch
- Adobe Photoshop
Improving Your Mobile Application from Scratch
After encountering app designs, mobile app developers go down to make everything work. The project manager explains the tasks to the developers and develops a step-by-step application development process to achieve the set milestones.
You should keep in mind that there are many language enhancements out there, however, you should always choose the technology that best suits your needs for mobile application development.
QA testing
If you decide to create a new application, it is inevitable to continue testing the application. It helps keep costs low and builds a high-quality app. If you go too far in the application development cycle, it becomes more expensive to fix the bug.
Regardless of the type of mobile application, our QA team regularly performs the necessary testing conditions to ensure that the application is flawless.

Launch your application
How do you publish an app in the App Store and Google Play Store?
Don’t worry. We assist our customers in uploading their apps to the Appstore and Playstore without charging any additional costs.
What Do We Need in the End?
We only need developer account information from customers to upload it.
Is It Easy To Publish An Application?
The App Store and Google Play Store have strict policies to make the app live, but we have some great experience in this area where our experts help our customers find it live. In fact, with the help of mobile app developers, we have successfully launched more than 4400 mobile applications to date.
Application release in the app store includes:
- The title of your application
- Definition
- Category
- Keywords
- Startup icon
- Screenshots of the App Store
When you submit your app to the Apple App Store, the iOS app goes through a review process that lasts from a few days to a few weeks. Depending on the quality of your app and how closely it follows the iOS development guidelines. Apart from this, make sure that the mobile app test is done properly.
If your application requires a user log-in, you must also submit a user account and a developer account.
Unlike iOS, Android does not have an update process. The app will be available in the App Store within a few hours of delivery.
Once your app has been deployed, our team constantly monitors its use through mobile statistics forums and measures your app’s success. We also review reports of crashes or other issues reported by users.
Post Production Support
After uninstalling the app, user feedback will re-enter in future versions of the app, you will need to upgrade that as an app update. Every app will need new features and technical updates, so this is the final step in developing a mobile app. Usually, as soon as the first version of the app is released, the development cycle resumes.
We, at Moon Technolabs, provide you with a 3-month post-launch service plan.
What Do You Find in This Free Support?
During or after the mobile app development process, if we encounter any problem or error, we will fix the problem immediately. Once the free support period has expired, if the customer wants to extend the support period, we prefer to sign an annual repair contract that can protect app owners.
By referring to the next section you will learn about the most important questions and answers about the mobile app development process.
