It attracts developers specialized in mobile development who create sophisticated apps. Here are a few tips you shouldn\u2019t neglect when you want to have your app develop by a mobile agency.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>1. UX with a bigger screen<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iPad is a different device, it has its own features. It\u2019s screen doesn\u2019t look like an iPhone\u2019s screen, nor an Android\u2019s screen. The screen is bigger; you have to think about all the space you got. Having an iPhone app on an iPad is a loss: the used space won\u2019t be optimal. Therefore, user experience is not the same on different devices. Moreover, different iPads exist: iPad Mini (7.9 inches), iPad Air (9.7 inches) and iPad Pro (9.7 or 12.9 inches). You have to think about these changes during the process of creating an app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. iPad Apps \u2013 2 different appearances on the App Store<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you search for an app on an iPad, there is a filter: \u201cJust iPad\u201d and \u201cJust iPhone\u201d. This option is important: indeed, iPhone apps can be downloaded for iPad. Its optimization won\u2019t be excellent, but you can have it in your apps portfolio. For example, our communication agency Swiss Tomato\u2019s app \u201cBeach Guide \u2013 Switzerland\u201d is only available for iPhones. However, you can download it on your iPad. The app\u2019s ergonomic is as seen on an iPhone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Multitasking on iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The multitasking feature appeared on iPads. You can find 3 forms of multitasking:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split View: 2 apps can be opened next to each other and work simultaneously.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slide Over: an app is opened on the right of the screen without leaving the used app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picture in Picture: a video is visible while using an other app.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>4. App Thinning : an evolution for iOS development<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to the last operating system iOS 9, apps are optimized according to the used device. \u00a0A difference is made between iPads with different memory capacities. Therefore, an app will take less place on a low memory device than on a large memory device. This adaptation to the iPad\u2019s space is to consider when developing an app. 3 methods are available to adapt the app: Slicing, On-Demand-Ressource and Bitcode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>5. Apple Pencil: a tool for iPad Pro<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only for iPads Pro, a new tool is available: the Apple Pencil. It revolutionizes the touch you had with the iPad Pro. Full of precision, the Apple Pencil is the solution for creative apps. App developers shouldn\u2019t forget it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating an iPad app is more and more useful with tablets growth and the different perspective from iPhone development.
