3 - Creating Apps
Creating an app requires several steps:
- Planning your project
- Designing the user interface (UI)
- Updating the app manifest
- Writing the code
- Building the app
- Debugging and testing the app
- Packaging the app
- Validating the app
- Deploying the app
1. Plan your project: Think about the type of app you want to create. After
you decide on the main action of your app, create an outline of the general
flow of the application from start to finish. Also, determine the type of user
interactivity you want to include, such as a touch interface, whether you need
to save data outside of the app, and whether the app should connect to other
apps or services (such as an RSS feed).
2. Design UI: When designing the user interface, determine how you want
the app to appear to users.
3. Update the app manifest: Every app requires a manifest file. The
manifest file describes properties of the app and what the app needs to run.
