Do Restrictions Exist In iPhone Applications Development

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.
