Important Features of an IoT Application

An IoT application provides complete control over your devices with better security, scalability, and data-driven analytics. While an IoT app significantly improves the living standard of individual users, cross-industry enterprises can use it to enhance their customer experiences. Given below are the main characteristics of an IoT application that must be kept in mind during IoT application development.

Security

While developing an IoT application, it is crucial to consider all security aspects to avoid potential threats and data breaches. Since the IoT devices are connected to the internet, the user data can be easily compromised or shared with third parties. It is, therefore, essential to render multi-level security to user data and protect it through end-to-end encryption.

Scalability

It is essential to develop an IoT application that is scalable and user-friendly to address the dynamically changing user requirements. Developers must ensure that the IoT app must be easy to scale as the userbase grows, without compromising with the quality, security, and performance of the application.  

Modularity

Modularity is an important factor to consider while developing an IoT solution as it facilitates quick deployment of the application and reduces time-to-market. Following a modular approach while building an IoT application provides better flexibility and scalability to enable seamless app performance.

Interoperability

The main benefit of an IoT application is that it offers better interoperability and enables users to manage multiple devices in parallel. IoT app development solutions must ensure that users face minimal complexities while using the app across the supported devices.

IoT App Development Market Growth and Forecasts

The IoT network is rapidly expanding to new horizons as all major industries are now using IoT devices in their day-to-day operations. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global IoT market was valued at $190 billion by the end of 2018. It further forecasts that the market is expected to reach $1.11 trillion by 2026, seeing the current trends. The phenomenal growth is expected to happen at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.7%. Banks and financial institutions are expected to reap the maximum benefit from this growth.

IoT App Development Time

The timeframe for an IoT project depends on the type and complexity of the application as well as the features you are going to implement. It also depends on the number of screens that need to be designed as it directly contributes to the UI/UX efforts required. Seeing it this way, a simple IoT application for a dedicated smart device can be built within 3 to 6 months. At the same time, developing a full-fledged smart home application for managing multiple devices may take up to 18 months.

IoT App Development Cost

The demand for IoT app development solutions has grown considerably over the past few years as more companies are investing in IoT projects. Coming to the cost, it majorly depends on the location of an IoT development company, its size, and prior experience in IoT development services. Hiring an in-house team of developers, QA engineers, and operations experts may substantially increase the project costs. That being said, the best solution is to outsource your IoT project to save time and money.

While outsourcing your project, it is important to consider the geographical location of the IoT development company. The average hourly cost for IoT app development in many North American and Western European countries is must higher as compared to many Asian Eastern European companies. While the US and UK-based companies may charge you between $50 to $150 per hour, you can outsource these sources from a country like India for as low as $20 to %50 per hour.

Conclusion

IoT application development has proved increasingly beneficial for cross-industry enterprises as it provides a bidirectional connectivity, enabling devices to send/receive data in real-time. A comprehensive IoT application enables enterprises to streamline their operations, boost productivity and enhance operational efficiency.

Deep Dive into Flutter Mobile App Development: Challenges and Benefits

Flutter is an open-source, cross-platform mobile app development framework that has gained its popularity in recent times due to its amazing features and its latest version update- Flutter 3.3 .

In technical terms, Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit and mobile app SDK developed and launched by Google. Flutter is a portable UI toolkit that allows developers to build visually attractive and fast mobile apps for all platforms — Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, and Fuchsia.

Recently, the number of mobile applications built in Flutter has increased as the developers find it useful due to its cross-platform feature where they don���t need to write the code for multiple platforms — one codebase will work both on iOS and Android platforms.

It has become costly and time-consuming if you opt for a framework where you must write different codes for iOS and Android platforms. Thus, Flutter’s single codebase feature will become an easy-to-go budget-friendly option for every business owner.

Why is Flutter the best for your project?

Being a business owner, you will always be happy to see your development team working on a framework that would build an application consisting of an intuitive UI with smooth animations.

Advantages of Flutter Mobile App Development

Widgets built for Smooth UI : Flutter is all about widgets. It enables developers to customize widgets as per their requirements and create UIs of an app.

Single Codebase: Flutter allows the development team to write just a single codebase for all the platforms. The USP of Flutter app development is that it’s not dependent on any platform, as it has its own widgets. This allows the implementation of the same application on various platforms.

Hot Reload: One of the too-hot-to-handle features of Flutter is Hot Reload. Whenever developers commit any changes in the project code, they can view all the changes in real-time. This lowers the development time by fixing any encountered error immediately, without restarting the whole thing.

Top Performance: If we compare Flutter with Xamarin and React Native performance, Flutter stands first with 58 fps and a 220-ms launch time. Xamarin has 345 ms with 53 fps, and React Native has 229 ms and 57 fps.

Disadvantages of Flutter App Development

Time to check out the other side of the coin. With great benefits, every framework carries some disadvantages, too and Flutter is not untouched by this fact.

Emerging Framework: As Flutter is slowly but steadily making it’s mark in the cross-platform framework industry, it will be tough for us to find enough tutorials about its development.

Limited Packages and Plugins: We received the first stable version of Flutter in 2018, and it has already had more than 26k packages for development which is increasing every day, but yes, at the same time, it is less than React Native and other older frameworks.

Size of Final App Outcome: As the Flutter app is built with various widgets, so the final app will be a bit bigger in size.

Little Dart Community: The developer’s community in Dart is much lesser than in JavaScript. This only defines that there are very limited resources available that could help developers to learn Dart.

What’s more about Flutter?

Flutter is best for creating a customized application experience. Every time again and again it has been shown that award-winning applications (MWC’s Glomo Awards, TIME’s Best Apps of the Year and the Webby Awards Mobile Apps) focus on delivering beautiful custom experiences rather than the pixel-perfect native iOS/Android look — and Flutter delivers on this.

Still confused about whether to opt for Flutter for your mobile application development project?

This article will help you in making the perfect decision.
