Mobile tech has disrupted lives of people to a big extent. For companies, it facilitates unparalleled and wider reach. Moreover, the introduction and the growing mobile apps implementation have brought a sea of change in the tech landscape in the last decade.

Mobile app programming and mobile apps are not only accountable for driving business growth all over the world, but are playing a greatly important role in boosting people’s lifestyle. As far as the impact of mobile applications on human life is concerned, they’re making it truly simple for people in terms of watching their favorite programs on TV online, shopping and buying movie tickets. It means that mobile applications provide big comfort to people since they could perform their work easily by using them. For instance, in buying a furniture product for a home, there is no need for one to be physically present in a furniture store since it could be ordered from anywhere.

ROLE OF MOBILE APPS AND MOBILE APP DEVELOMENT SERVICES IN THE IOT GROWTH
Mobile applications also play a tremendously vital role in boosting IoT growth, which is nothing but an ecosystem of connected devices consisting of network connectivity and sensors to produce detailed information and data. The connected devices include everything from an embedded sensor car and refrigerator to a wrist band as well as a garage door, all which are connected to a network so data produced could be easily exchanged, that later on play an integral role in simplifying human life.

The internet of things devices could be connected to the internet with the help of iBeacon, NFC and of course WiFi. The Internet of Things idea has become possible only due to the increasing use of mobile applications and wireless tech in the past few years. The whole credit of the Internet of Things that hit mainstream these days goes to the rising growth of the mobile application industry and cloud computing in the last decade. The use of the internet of things applications has altered the way that people used to interact with digital devices in their homes and places of work.

Simply put, IoT apps have brought a drastic change in how people communicate with their devices in the world of digital technology. These days, one could do plenty of official work remotely, since one could easily access the personal computer as well as other relevant devices.

SMART CITIES AND HOMES CONCEPT IS DRASTICALLY GROWING

The fact could not be denied that the IoT technology would continue to develop at a rapid pace, which would boost the popularity of smart homes and cities in the future. Furthermore, mobile-friendly IoT applications would stay as the major tools to operate connected devices. This means that all it needs to operate the IoT enabled devices in the office and the home is a smart phone wherein the IoT application is installed.

Nowadays, one could easily use the smart phone for communicating with fitness band and use the provided information by it in a huge way. As a matter of fact, the hotel industry already has started to allow customers to enter their rooms with their smart phones instead of using a card or key. The demand for the internet of things mobile apps is growing on a daily basis in the market. It is making a big competition among mobile application development organizations. One of the best ways of beating the competition is to have a competent and experienced developers. Aside from that, application development firms must provide developers advanced training so they could produce better outputs.

The IoT and mobile apps work really well together. All the shared connectivity means that there are far more connected devices than ever before. This means that businesses have to create applications that are more intelligent as well. At the basic level in the phase of digitization of IoT, apps should move away from only connecting and communicating to a single mobile operating system to connecting to numerous devices. This as a result requires several seriously specialized skills in terms of application development, such as the following.

1. Embrace a progressively flexible and diverse skill set. In the age of smart objects, to stay relevant, applications should be designed to be extremely adaptable. This is due to the fact that applications could quickly be obsolete in the advent of new technology. Developers should be very committed and adaptable to invest in their own development.

2. Take advantage of third-party software. The best way of reducing the time of development is to create an app on top of a ready-made internet of things platform that already has enabled communicating with a huge range of smart objects. Nevertheless, developers would have to learn how to connect to third-party platforms easily using a wide range of APIs.

3. Niche development emergence. Today, many app developers for various platforms. But with the unified IoT platform, there may be a need for more niche developers. The current business trend of hiring one develop for everything no longer works. Enterprises would have to find at least one IoT developer who specializes in IoT.

IoT app development would continue to flourish and would likely come in the form of mobile applications. Mobile is highly suitable for IoT as smart phones play the role of communication hubs.
