Title: i thingie app
Post by: dw230 on May 07, 2013, 11:49:18 AM

Anyone know about apps? Like how do you get it to market, do you have to get Apple permission/approval, are apps available on other platforms such as Micro Soft? All the things a person needs to know when considering creating an app.

Thanks in advance,

DW

Dan, I know next to nothing about apps, but I do think I remember reading that Apple keeps some kind of a hand on hat they allow in their store.

Back to what's your app - - I know, I betcha.  It'll be one that automatically refers any question to the manual.  The user will select that app, input his question, and the app will display:  "RTFM".  Am I rght? :evil:

Dan,
Easiest way to think of it is Apple is a closed shop, you have to pay them for the right to put your app on an Apple product  :evil:
Android is open source, meaning free to get the development software, and you can do both limited free versions, and chargeable versions of your app.  :-D

both apple and android provide free development tools.
to publish you need a developers account, apple charges
$99 a year while google's is a one time $25 charge...

Thanks all, not at liberty to reveal my idea as of yet. I think it will benefit the group.

On a scale from 1-10 it's a 10 to get an app developed, tested, and published. Both Android and Apple have to vet the app to see if it is harmful etc.

You need to have a real game plan to get it rolling.
