iOS developers can now log in to the Apple iOS Devcenter to find out what percentage of users accessing the AppStore are running the latest iOS version. link
Interesting information if you were wondering about making sure your app still needs to support iOS5.
Are you developing Android apps than you will find this page very interesting. It gives the different versions of Android for the users of the Google Play store in the same period of time.
Creating a mobile application is not without cost so it makes sense to have some kind of insight in how you can turn this expense into income.One of the possible approaches can be to sell your application in the mobile application store(s) instead of giving it away for free.
In that case you may be interested in finding out what mobile platform to aim for, what is the platform on which customers are more likely to pay for your application ?
ZDNet posted an article discussing the difference between Android users and iOS users with respect to buying your app. Take a look at the results from the article :
•Some 10 percent of iOS developers said they haven’t earned a dime in profit compared with 41 percent of Android developers.
•The most common price for an Android app is $0.99 vs. $2.99 for iOS apps.
•Some 68 percent of developers seeing success in the U.S. market vs. 43 percent for Android developers.
When a user chooses a certain type of smartphone, he or she chooses expresses not only the choice for a certain brand and model of device but indicates what he or she will be using it for. A customer who buys a high-end Android smartphone is more likely to buy apps than a customer who buys one of the cheap entry-level models.
iOS has less of a problem in this domain because there is no entry-level iPhone.
When you use the iPhone on the Proximus network you will have entered the APN settings as indicated in the screenshot below :
iPhone Settings APN
After a couple of days of being a happy mobile internet user you may run into the situation where you no longer seem to be connected to the mobile internet over 3G. And if you take a look at your APN settings you will probably see that the APN info has been cleared and is now empty. At last that is what i was experiencing last year and i see a number of my friends are still struggling with.
Let me show you how you can resolve this once and for all by adding a Configuration Profile with the APN settings.
To support deployment of a large number of iPhones in the enterprise Apple provides a tool called the iPhone Configuration Utility as a free download :
Create configuration profiles that define how iOS devices work with your enterprise systems.
The iPhone Configuration Utility is available for Mac OS X and for Windows .
After downloading and installing the iPhone Configuration utility you get an empty screen like this one :
iPhone Configuration Utility first start
Select Configuration Profiles in the list on the left and click the ‘New’ button in the upper left corner to add a new Configuration profile.
Next, fill out the required fields with your information, you can pick any unique identifier for your profile, the most important part is that it will be unique when it will be on your iPhone.
iPhone Configuration Utility general settings
After adding the identifier and the Name to the General settings go to the last item in the list of the settings for the profile you are editing, the last item in the list is called APN.
Now fill out the APN configuration settings as follows :
iPhone Configuration Utility with APN settings
Save the profile, and hook up your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable.
Select you device and open the Configuration Profiles tab and you will see you new APN Configuration profile ready to be installed on the device. Press the install button.
iPhone Configuration Utility add configuration profile to device
That’s all you ask ? Yes it is that simple.
If you want to see if it is really available on the device or remove it for whatever reason later on you need to go into Settings > General > Profiles
