Every year, you can count on Apple to make a major announcement about the new, exciting products it’s releasing. The big reveal is typically in September, but CrowdCompass had been preparing for the launch of Apple’s new operating system and hardware since June.
While developers of individual apps must also stay current to support new operating systems, the CrowdCompass platform supports hundreds of new apps each month for conferences, trade shows, and event clients. This kind of scalability means they had a lot of work to do to ensure their apps were ready for the iPhone 6 and iOS 8 update.
When it comes to such a big release like this one, developers might do things differently to get their apps ready. Here are the top three ways that CrowdCompass approached this year’s Apple update:
- Be prepared for iOS 8 before Apple makes its announcement
- Don’t drop support for older technologies
- Work as a team to create an amazing experience for all app users
