Are you interested in making an app? Are you looking for app development? Are you looking for any app builder? Then, you have come to the right place! In this blog, we will discover various options to make an app and uncover ways to earn money from mobile apps. So let's get started!

Best Ways To Make An App

Mobile application development is a process to build applications for mobile phones.

Types of Mobile Operating Systems

There are two major types of operating systems on mobile phones:

1. Google Android

Android OS runs only android apps.

2. Apple iOS

iPhone OS runs on only iPhones app.

Types of Mobile Apps

There are two major types of mobile apps.

1. Native Apps
2. Hybrid Apps

Native Apps

Native apps include apps for Android, iOS, and Windows phone. For native Android App. languages used are JAVA and XML, for iOS are Swift or Objective-C and for Windows is C#. You must get familiar with platform's IDE (Android Studio for Android Apps and XCode for iOS Apps). Learn how IDE, their debugger, and build system works. We write separate code for each platform to make an app.

Hybrid Apps

Hybrid apps can be deployed on both iOS and Android mobile phones, they are written once unlike in native apps we need to write separate code for Android and iOS.
React Native and Ionic Framework are two famous technologies to build Hybrid Applications.

How will you get started with Ionic to make an app?

Learn Angular JS first. It is not like that you have to learn Ionic only to build hybrid apps. If you're good at Angular JS, Ionic will be nothing for you but a library of functions. You must have an understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript before going to Angular JS. Keep in mind that Ionic has 3 versions and it is built on top of Angular JS, so any new version implies update of Angular version. Ionic 1 uses Angular JS 1, Ionic 2 uses Angular JS 2 while Ionic 3 uses Angular JS 4.
I suggest you go for Ionic 1 to make an app, since it is very easy to learn, got a huge community of developers working on it and is stable.
We can make an app using any of native or hybrid technology

How to make an app for Android and iPhone?

You can use Android Studio or XCode to make an app. Let's discuss each of them in detail.

Android Studio

It is an IDE to create android apps. It uses JAVA and XML programming languages. It is quite easy to make apps with Android Studio, it provides many built-in interfaces. We don't need to program everything. You can learn it from Udacity.

XCode

Xcode is the IDE provided by Apple for macOS. It allows developing software formacOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

How to earn money from Mobile Apps?

You can get some cash by building an app. Here are some of the ways:

Freelancing

Working as a mobile application developer on any freelancing site can help you earn some cash. You must have some apps published on Play Store and a strong portfolio to convince your client.
Keep in mind that learning will never end. Sometimes you need to stop consuming and start creating. I have done jobs of Android Application Development as a freelancer. Freelancing is one of the best ways to earn money online.

Paid Apps

Make a paid app. It is not effective unless your app is worth paying. Most of us prefer to install free apps. Paid apps can be more effective on iPhone, they result in a higher average revenue per download.

In-app Purchases

Make an app and publish it to Play Store. Allow everyone to install it for free then upgrade for additional features. Many in-app purchases occur in games, where user have to buy extra coins, extra lifelines, etc

Monetization

Monetize your app with Google AdMob. You will get money for clicks and also for the impression. Place ads between screen navigation and top or bottom of a screen. If your app is worth using and beneficial for most of the people, then monetizing your app will generate money. You must have seen ads in mobile games. The more users of your app, the more monetization would work effectively!
