Iphone application development

Abstract

Nowadays, mobile phone becomes more popular than ten years ago. One important part of mobile phone which is smartphone plays an important role on life. They are smarter than usual phones with the operating system insides. There are many operating systems for smartphone. One of biggest phone’s operating system is iOS which is a product of Apple Inc. My thesis research try to focus on this operating system which appear on many popular devices from Apple such as the Iphone,the Ipod,the Ipad. The iOS mobile operating system has become a landmark, completely innovate the mobile device portion of information technology. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how to develop an application (app) on this attractive platform.

For further detail, I did research and tried to develop a sample application for Iphone named “News Reader”. The application allows users to read news from multiple online new papers of Vietnam such as Tuoi Tre, VNExpress, Vietnamnet. The application also provide users personal mode, favorite mode and social network which user can read all hot news, newest news, their favorite news and sharing their news to the social network. To implement these features, Cocoa Touch framework, which is a common framework for iOS developer is used to create application simply and effectively. Although the project was implemented and tested successfully, due to lack of

time, experiences it still contains some limitation such as code optimization, user

interface. Thus, my study need to be enhanced and the application need to be improved in

the future.
