An iPhone apps developer may consider
iPhone to be the best platform or a device to develop a creative
application. It helps the developer to sell these applications and
earn good revenue. However, when it comes to iPhone
applications development , Apple, the father of iPhone, has
laid down some restrictions. These restrictions may barricade your
over all development plan. The most important restriction put down by
Apple and the restriction which irritates most of the users is that
you can run only one application at a time. You cannot run two
applications simultaneously. For example when you get a call while
surfing the net, you need to stop accessing the net in order to
receive the call. This restriction is a headache not just for the
user but also for the iPhone apps developer. For instance, if a
developer has created a GPS app which requires continuous support
from the user to gather specific data for your geo location then it
becomes mandatory for the user to go on with the application and
ignore all important calls. This renders the application vague.

The second restriction placed by Apple
is that you cannot run a third party application in the background.
This implies that you cannot receive messages on your messenger while
receiving or attending important calls. As soon as you receive the
call your status will shift to offline or whenever you switch to
another application. In the same way, it is true of any application,
which needs to interact with web to be updated on a periodical basis
or ensure smooth functioning, would be useless. Even the whole set of
such applications would be remarkably less useful.
All the applications can be sold
through Apple store. No developer can distribute the application
directly. One has to visit the Apple store to get the application.
