So you want to build an iPhone Application, right? No problem.  Nowadays Apple lets just about anyone build one and market it, provided Apple has approved of it first. There is a huge list to choose from if you want to build yourself one. But where do you begin? The choices boggle the mind because there are so many things to choose from, most importantly, what you want to build. GPS apps, chat apps, games, eBay hooks, time apps… the list befuddles the mind and yes, it is a long list of different stuff which can be put inside an iPhone and run to do a multitude of things.

So the first thing to do would be to select the kind of software you want to make. Whether it’s universal software, or a personalized one, pointing towards some specific things or genre, or a local deal, make sure you know what you are dealing with. That helps immensely before you formulate your program. Try doing something new, and stick to bringing your own version of something already done. For example, if you can make a cheaper, better, and more user-friendly, advanced take of already running software, you should. It would facilitate millions of people. Remember, Apple has about 85000 applications which are in the market already, so before you do it, think about the whole deal carefully, and make a checklist to avoid confusion.

Next, you should write the program code. A Software Development Kit (SDK) is available if you want to make your life easier and just finish the matter fast. Once you have written the code, it is time to test it out. Always test your software, because it helps to keep your software bug-free and without errors. Apple generally has a code of conduct which cannot be violated. It also has a strong say about maintaining a modicum of decorum, which is required to be held by the developers as well.

Once your software is tested, it can take mere hours to get it approved and post it in the forum. It can however take days, weeks and months to get the product perfected for mass audience, and it would do you a lot of good if a new code is launched after extensive testing has been done on it.

As for the market, remember, sky is the limit. Developers take a great deal of satisfaction in seeing their product hit the store, shelved beside other Apple approved products, and it is a moment of triumph for any coder to see his/her product sitting and being bought. This helps to boost your credibility as a sound coder. Many potential employers and prospective business partners like to know what they are getting before hiring a seasoned coder by seeing what they already have to offer. So, you can easily get selected if your work is compatible and your software a hit.

So, with a bit of work and time, you can easily build up an iPhone application and carve your name in the software developer list around the world.
