Important Reasons to Consider Windows Mobile App Development

You must have noticed that people are holding their Android phones or iPhones for communication or shopping, but now new operating systems with great features are also entering the market and the trends are also changing. It is really interesting to note that 57% of developers are still planning to develop mobile apps for Windows phones as their market has passed 1 million.

Everyone would love to go for a sleek interface, integration with cloud services, and easy availability of other Microsoft products like Office 365, Xbox, OneDrive, and many more on a single device. And this is the reason why developers and business owners still prefer Windows Phone. It has been able to successfully carve out a dominant market place for itself.

Let’s consider some of the reasons why creating a Windows app would be beneficial in improving awareness of your business and also covering a range of people who would be aware of the app.

Simple and advanced user interface:
Nowadays, all the users expect a user-friendly interface for their mobile devices to be able to perform their tasks quickly. Windows phones are responsive and use advanced user interface which grabs people’s attention and also increases its popularity. Users always want all the tasks to be done in limited time and speed, efficiency and performance is what they are looking for in their devices. Windows operating systems provide all of this and this is the reason why businesses and organizations choose Windows to build their mobile apps. Since its popularity is at its peak, creating an app for this operating system would increase the awareness of the Windows app among people and cover a broader spectrum of audience.

Build apps once and take them everywhere:
Another major concern that most developers worry about is that for any app to be popular, it is important that it be available on multiple platforms so that it can cover a large audience base. The way Microsoft approaches mobile first is very clearly present in the latest version of Visual Studio. The current version has made it easy for iOS developers to quickly migrate to Windows mobile app development with full support for Objective-C development in Windows apps. Visual Studio now supports building apps for Windows, iOS, and Android as a single platform.

Publishing Windows apps is easy:
Windows mobile app publishing is one of the easier methods of deploying apps in your business compared to iOS and Android. iOS requires applying a certificate to your app. Microsoft does not need a specific enterprise certificate like Apple does. Microsoft has also created several tools for building applications that can be easily tested and published. The tools allow you to create an application in a few hours and this helps to complete the work faster and more efficiently. Once the app is created, it can be uploaded to any mobile app manager like AirWatch or MobileIron and published to an enterprise app store.
