Google's Cloud Development Tools for iPhone Apps - An Impeccable Windfall

The web tycoon Google has instigated a novel concept known as cloud-based development tools for iOS developers, thus facilitating them to link up to cloud services efficiently, simply, effortlessly, and inexpensively. Yeah it’s indeed as inexpensive that it is free of cost.

However, the initial hit is all the time gratis, isn’t it?

Mobile Back end Starter

The Mobile Back end Starter for iOS thus endows with notifications, data, authentication services and statuses for both iPhone and iPad apps, using the accurate and equivalent infrastructure that is fabricated on Google App Engine. Google made this infrastructure which is built on Google App Engine to be accessible for Android app developers in April, 2013.

By unfettering the new Mobile Back end Starter for iOS, the web king Google has definitely hit a jackpot because this one is potentially more profitable as well as sustainable platform in comparison to Android and iOS platforms.

The Mobile Back end Starter for iOS permits you to stock up data in the cloud and share amid users, validate users using their Google accounts, launch device-to-device push notifications and make use of unremitting queries to give notice to devices of potential data changes.

Setting Up

Once everything is set and done, the Back end Starter gives the developers very momentous cloud services at no cost. Complimentary in terms of cost is at any rate until you get to noteworthy scale. Additionally, the time and effort is also reduced since the heavy lifting is already done majorly.

Getting on track to complete this installation is factually as undemanding as completing an online application form to install a back end for your app, and then all you got to do is set up an app in Xcode development tool of Apple. This must be done with suitable Google connections and also apposite authentications when and where it is needed. If you are one of those developers who aspire to go beyond then there is a Google open source code at Github which will act as a template for you to learn from.

Benefits

These tools are exceptionally interesting since the users will get ample time and resources to concentrate on the App development and user interface concerns while Google will be handling the back end services for the developers that too at free of cost.

These will also act as a tool set that facilitates cross-platform app development with the similar back end and also the equivalent cloud-based calculate and storing abilities handy to both of the Android and iOS apps.

Thus making it more and more eye-catching to do furthermore of the profound lifting for the app. The heavy lifting includes standard data storage, processing, etc on the cloud instead of to be done on the app thus the app you develop will be smarter and more social with real time connectivity.

Additionally, due to the cloud development tools the apps you develop will be easier and quicker to develop, easier to maintain and the debug facility will also be greatly enhanced.

This tool is definitely causing impact among various organizations which are into mobile app development. While Contus, a leading mobile app developing company was contacted Sriram Manoharan, their energetic Managing Director and Chief Business Development officer expressed that this (Google’s Cloud Development Tools for iPhone Apps) is going to change the whole perspective of iOS developers. Additionally, the cloud development tools are a nice endeavor since cross-platform apps are the current buzzword.

The Final Straw

The Back end Starter also endorses a developer-centric, Google-owned platform of data; calculate storage, performance, user authentication and messaging underneath both iOS and Android. Not only these two but any other platform that Google would choose. The Back end Starter provides plenty of tools and resources that will glue the developers to the Google cloud.

This will pose as a threat to organizations like Zend where the apps that are cloud connected are built on a PHP platform. Additionally and more importantly this will be a threat to developers’ ties to the iOS environment where the iOS developers blindly depend on Xcode or iCloud. However, both of these have been rather bugged and sluggish. These don’t have the suppleness and compute capacity which Google cloud development tools can offer.

The most important factor for users potentially shifting to Back end Starter would be the fact that the other cloud resources in store are not cross-platform. Thus making Google more interesting and demanding!
