5 things that iOS7 application developers must pay attention to

NetEase technology News August 11, Science and technology blog TNW wrote to remind developers, for IOS7 application development you have 5 things to pay attention to. Apple will hand iOS7 to consumers this fall, and Apple promises that iOS 7 will be simpler, more practical and more enjoyable to experience. For developers, the rules of the game will change because of the new user interface of iOS 7, the new design brings the user and equipment between the fresh experience, is a new challenge for developers. Keep it simple if you experience iOS 7, then you know that Apple has reached a whole new level of paranoia about simplicity. Overall design concept to concise, application icon and interface will be throughout the concept. So for developers, simple design is essential. In other words, the heavy gradients or shadows that fit into iOS 6 can be very depressing on the new system. This does not mean that you need to replicate Apple's design exactly, and developers still have high degrees of freedom to make innovations. Tiered Apple has adopted a more compact design for its native application tiering. The benefits of tiering include improving user efficiency and vitality. So in order for your application not to have a Shong sense of the new operating system, layering is an important aspect for developers to consider. But layering does not mean clutter, so try to keep the main screen bright and open. Interactive Apple has begun to emphasize the importance of reducing application independence to improve interactivity between local applications. One of the advantages of IOS 7 is that it will increase the visibility and accessibility of the application. Therefore, your application should also try to consider how to interact with other programs. This may mean that you need to deliberately leave blank space so that other applications can fill in the blanks. At the same time, you should also think about how your application can complement other people's applications. Being loyal to your design and adapting to the iOS 7 app style doesn't mean sacrificing individuality. In these simplified, colorful, layered application skins, the original vision of the designer should remain vibrant. In the process of upgrading your application, you have to be faithful to the soul of the application itself. Constant change a new operating system does not necessarily mean that your application needs to be changed. The possibility of making changes ultimately does more harm than good. As the saying goes: "If things are not bad, it is best not to repair it." "Otherwise, you will probably spend a lot of money." Incremental change is the strategy that should be taken, and it's not too late to make changes when you find it wrong. While developers and designers ultimately decide what the application looks like, the new operating system does provide a new set of rules. So stay alert and let's meet this beautiful autumn. (John)
