In need of an app developer?

I was sitting down thinking one day and a random app idea popped in my head and I think it's a brilliant idea that I think would sell big if it was possible!! Now I don't know how this would happen but would it be possible to get an app developer and make some type of contract so we both profit since I came up with the idea and he made it?

Before contacting anyone with your idea make sure you write it all down as detailed as possible (google 'design documentation' as an example of how to do proper design work).
The last thing you would want is to have someone say "No thanks!" and then find they created your idea.
Create the design doc electronically, that way there is a timestamp that will help you prove the date you came up with the idea, and preferably print it out and have a lawyer or someone official sign it.
It may sound convoluted, but idea-theft happens!

Has anyone used an Ipad first generation with the IOS SDK app development kit? If you have or have not did you need more than 16 gigabytes to work with?

What up with these online custormer assists they don't know what their own product is (ISO SDK app development kit) So this is where they send me when they could have answered me yes or no you need that

What "online customer assist" are you referring to? The only entity at Apple that could or would help you with this issue is Apple Developer Support. Is that who you contacted?
In any case, are you referring to the capacity of the iPad itself? If so, a 16GB will be fine for testing unless you have it loaded up with too much stuff for your app to load and run. If that's not what you meant, please clarify.

Understanding App Development and Hosting options

I am having some confusion around Provider/ Autohosted App.
Below is my understanding. Please correct my understanding or misunderstanding of the following:
1. We cannot develop Apps on SharePoint Online which will have server side code. The Apps developed on SharePoint online can only use html5 and javascript, not even CSOM?
2. Auto hosted / provider hosted apps can be developed on any system where Visual Studio Express / Professional / Premium/ Ultimate is installed. It doesn't require SharePoint on the system. It however requires IIS to help us in debugging and testing
3. On App development environment, even though it does not have SharePoint installed, we can write code using server object model
4. We need Azure or provider hosted environment only to host the app and not for development purpose
5. It is best practice to keep the hosting environment separate from development environment
6. The only difference between Auto hosted and Provider hosted environment is that in case of Auto hosted , everything is managed by SharePoint while Provider hosted has to be managed by IT.
7. Auto hosted app will work equally well on Provider hosted app. A provider hosted app can be installed on auto hosted app and vice versa
8. We do not have control over the auto hosted app which is installed on Azure. If we want to unistall or upgrade, we will need to write remote event receiver.
9. We have control over provider hosted app, meaning that, IT can manually uninstall or upgrade or do the same using remote event receiver.
10. Remote event receiver's can be created either as Auto hosted or Provider hosted app
11. Though we cannot create Apps with server side code on SharePoint online, but we can launch (host) apps that have server side code, created as auto hosted or provider hosted app.

Hi Mokhtar,
Thanks for the reply. It is a news that auto-hosted is removed now. Some of my questions related to Office 365 and Provider hosted are still not answered. Mainly need some clarifications on the following:
1. Can Provider hosted apps be developed on any system where Visual Studio Express / Professional / Premium/ Ultimate is installed. Is SharePoint required on the development system? If we need SharePoint, for what purpose do we need SharePoint? Does
SharePoint have to be on-premise / provider hosted. Can it not be SharPoint online?
Yes, you can develop the SharePoint Hosted or Provider hosted apps without having SharePoint installed, you can use Visual Studio 2013 Professional/Premium/Ultimate. If you are using Visual studio 2012, you need to download Office developer tools for
Visual studio.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/somasegar/archive/2013/03/04/now-available-office-developer-tools-for-visual-studio-2012.aspx
2. Even though the develpment system does not have SharePoint installed, can we still write code using server object model ?
No, you cannot write server object model code without SharePoint Installed.
3.Is the provider hosted environment required only for the purpose of hosting the app or do we need it for development purpose also?
Provider hosted environment is required to host the application such as ASP.NET application or PHP which required IIS. It can be Azure web site or your own server with IIS or Apache server installed.
4. Is it a best practice to keep the hosting environment separate from development environment?
That depends, if you are just developing Apps you don't need the SharePoint Server, just you need to be connected to the SharePoint Server. If you need to develop sandbox solutions or farm solutions, then you need to have both on same server, VS &
SharePoint.
Even if you are developing console application with CSOM, you don't need SharePoint to be installed you just need SharePoint Client libraries.
5. Can we launch Apps with server side code (hosted on provider hosted app) on SharePoint online?
No, you cannot use the server side code in hosted or provider hosted app. You can use CSOM in provider hosted model.
Hope it got answered all your queries. One the good reference book is
Professional SharePoint App Development by Apress.

Why do we need cygwin for Apps R12 on windows ?

Hi,
Can someone throw some light on
---Why do we need cygwin for Apps R12 on windows ?
Which kind of activites need cygwin for R12 Apps.
-sasi

Hi Sasi;
You need to use mkstoolkit or cywgwin to work EBS on windows coz of to can run some perl and also can use some command as kill, ps, ls etc..Apps tier also need that program can compile something inside.
Please see:
The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools for Microsoft Windows. They run thanks to the Cygwin library which provides the POSIX system calls and environment these programs expect.
With these tools installed, it is possible to write Windows console or GUI applications that make use of significant parts of the POSIX API. As a result, it is possible to easily port many Unix programs without the need for extensive changes to the source code. This includes configuring and building most of the available GNU software (including the packages included with the Cygwin development tools themselves) as well as lots of BSD tools and packages (including OpenSSH). Even if the development tools are of little to no use to you, you may have interest in the many standard POSIX utilities provided with the package. They can be used from one of the provided Unix shells like bash, tcsh or zsh, as well as from the standard Windows command shell if you have to for some sad reason.

Which Azure services would I need for a readily developed application?

Hello...
Sorry if there's already an somewhere on here for this... I found similar questions but all seem to be related to "building" apps on Azure. In my case, we have an already built application. So here's the deal:
We are considering hosting our application on the cloud, so I would like some clarifications/suggestions on what the suitable option is for us on Azure. I'm not very versed on computing/network infrastructure;
I'm just doing a preliminary research to see what is out there for us.
Here's an overview of our application and needs:
Our software, among other uses, is mainly a tools & asset management system used for tracking tool history, i.e. maintenance and field use. Our clients are service provider companies of a
niche in O&G exploration. The application is...
Developed on Windows OS for Windows users.
Built using LabVIEW, and requires a run-time engine installed on the client machine.
Powered by Microsoft SQL Database (2005)
Our Primary Needs:
Various users in a client company should be able to use the software and access data simultaneously.
Client companies should be able to access only their own data.
User-size is an upward of 6 per company (and 10 companies in the first year). Most clients are in North America, but a couple are overseas.
We (our company) should be able to update the software and database structure at will.
Development and compilation will done on a local machine.
So will the Virtual Machine suffice, or do we need other service(s) like the SQL Database?
Sorry for the lengthy message, but I hope it helps someone offer a proper option for us. I can't find a Microsoft email anywhere, and I rather type this stuff out.
Thanks.

Hi Immanuel,
Thanks for reaching out.
here is my understanding of your solution and later in the email i have put couple of possibilities to use cloud
Understanding:
At present desktop App (written in dotnet), is available to local user, App connects to some SQL database (app connects to one / more than one db, not local to user), users have some kind of authentication mechanism that authenticates
and authorize them to use only their data from the database (not sure if its one single db with multi-tenancy or separated db for each user).
To be: This is my understanding where you want to be
1. you want app to be deployed in cloud
Question: what is the primary reason of app to be deployed on cloud if this is a windows application, if this is security, then we can explore alternatives to deploy on cloud.
2. You want app to connect to the SQL db deployed on SQL Azure (guessing it would be multi-tenancy), in that case you would need SQL Azure, depending on your db size and scalability
needs on db you can choose from different SQL Azure dbs (at end it comes down to cost)
Options:
1. Not sure if you really need the desktop app on cloud, assuming you have to have it on cloud, you would need at very basic A VM role, where you would deploy and setup the app
as a base VM, that you may replicate for different clients / users of yours. keep in mind that with VM role you are paying for uptime, even if your user is not using your app.
if you choose to use a vm from the azure provided vms then you are covered for licensing, else you would need to figure out licensing cost for OS that you put on the VM, and also
the number of VM will influence the cost of your OS licensing.
2. Alternatively you can also explore a hybrid option where you can keep desktop app on local desktop of users but it connects to the sql azure db (this can further be put in hybrid
mode depending on your data, frequency of update to data etc.. for now it can be a pure sql azure db)
in this case you would not have to maintain much in terms of Cloud service maintenance, all you will have to keep up with is SQL Azure, backups of SQL as you would have been doing
for regular db
3. option 3 is to convert windows app to a web app and then put the entire solution on cloud.. that is kinda larger effort and may not be most appropriate
at this point for you.

What is the CIS number for app development?

What is the CIS number for app development?

In order to get your App on the App Store you need a DUNS #. In order to get a DUNS # you need to register and they ask for the CIS, which is a number that classifies your business.

Panels in CS5 for app development?

Are there any panels in CS5 created for mobile devices/Android app development? What are the commonly used tools/panels for app development?

Nope, there no other panels needed when developing for android, the only difference is when outputting the file, you should just keep an eye on the library regarding filesize, although it's not very important you never know.
Many other things in regards to performance can be taken care of, but none of them are in a specific panel ( code, caching bitmaps, filter usage.... etc)

Agentry app development with SMP 3.0 SDK

Dear All,
I am new to Agentry app development using SMP 3.0 and i have some basic knowledge on Agentry app development using Eclipse editor using Agentry Plug-in's, and after developing the app, publishing to the Agentry Server and testing the same app using Agentry ATE, but what my queries is please find the below points.
1) In SMP 3.0 SDK, under Agentry app development what is the use of following 'a' and 'b', and give me more clarity about those 'a' and 'b'.
     a) Agentry OpenUI for iOS Setup Overview and
     b) Agentry OpenUI for Android Setup Overview
For above points please find the Agentry1.jpeg for better understand.
2)In the same SMP 3.0 SDK under Agentry app development what is the following points and give me more clarity the same below points.
    a) The Agentry SDK
     b) Agentry Device Client Branding SDK.
     c) Agentry OpenUI API
For above points please find the Agentry2.jpeg for better understand.
3) And how to generate executable like .apk for Android client and .ipa for iOS client and .cab for Windows Mobile etc..
Best Regards,
Ranjith Lingala

Ranjith,
I will do my best to answer your questions.
1) OpenUI is a new option for Agentry applications under SMP 3.0 to allow users to extend and create their own controls for the Agentry clients. Open UI is available for WPF, iOS and Android clients. Using OpenUI is optional but can be used to create additional controls that do not exist in the base Agentry product (for example a slider control). Open UI controls are created using the native language of the device so there are different setup instructions for each platform.
2a) The Agentry SDK is the Active X process that only applies to Windows Mobile clients under SMP3.0. For the other clients it has be replaced with OpenUI.
2b) Device branding is a process to take a generic client and apply your own icon, name, etc to it so that it is specific to your application name. Again here the process for branding differs depending on the platform.
2c) See #1
3) Generating the .ipa or .apk process is part of either OpenUI or the Branding process. You will need to follow the steps specific to which one you are doing. There is no process for generating .cab files. The branding for WinCE involves creation of a custom installer using NSIS scripts
With SMP 3.0 we have even more options for extending the Agentry client to provide better integration (ESRI maps via OpenUI) or additional controls to improve the user experience.
Have fun!

Ubuntu Touch app development in Arch?

Has anyone here done any app development for Ubuntu Touch?
I been wondering how I could set this up on Arch to start experimenting with Ubuntu Touch SDK (since I use Arch on all my computers and doesn't really want to switching my main desktop to Ubuntu.... since I have everything configured the way I want already... for everything else).
I was trying to search through AUR for ubuntu-sdk, but I could not find anything.

I have the same problem. I'm really not understanding the way Launchpad does stuff, but I will try again to get what I need there. I think the only thing you should need is the Ubuntu qtcreator plugin, the rest of the "Ubuntu SDK" and its dependencies should be available in the main arch repos.
EDIT: Found the page that's probably the most important: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team

Best way to find a good app developer?

My company has an idea for an app that we'd like developed for IP4....
Can anyone here steer us in the right direction insofar as how we find a good app developer who will do contract work?

Honestly, become an Apple Developer.
http://developer.apple.com/
They have forums where you can ask questions, like "I need an App developer...HELP." Someone will point you to someone. Or volunteer.
Also, LinkedIn has an iPad/iPhone developer group. I belong to a medical apps subgroup, and I can tell you there's a lot of "advertising" of skills and such. Moreover, LinkedIn gives you the chance to do some background checking.
With these two groups, you will get the best of the best. Don't google for one. You'll get junk surrounding the few diamonds.

Freelance App Developing in a Foreign Country (Germany)

Hello,
I realize that this is a very specialized question and am not sure if anyone can answer this for me, but... I have plans to move to Germany to obtain a bachelors degree in Applied Informatics by means of a Duale Studium, which means that I have practical work phases along with more traditional university lecture phases during my studies. (And yes, I have been working very hard on my German Language Skills.)
As a Graphic Designer learning IT, I am extremely intersted in "trying my hand" at app development in my spare time to both gain experience and potentially a portfolio, as well as to possibly make a little additional money on the side. However, I have read that it is not legal for foreign students to freelance in Germany.
I am wondering if there is any way that it would be possible to create Apps for the Apple Store (wia Germany, do they have a different store than the US?) and do it legally, whether that means that I need to have a "mini job" through a legitimate company in the area, but work on my own time at home...or something of that nature... Would that be possible?
However, I do like the idea of having my own hours and working only when I have time- so as not to have particular requirements outside of my current committments of work and school. Still, I would be intersted in working with other students or businesses in the area, if there are possibilities out there. So any advice regarding Graphic Design and Web/Mobile Development Firms/Companies, as well as Student and Community Groups around the Stuttgart area might be helpful. Even if all I can do is learn in my spare time and not get paid, I would like to know what options exist for someone who is interested in getting involved with App Development.
For instance, would it be possible to freelance in Germany but send applications to the US-side of the Apple Store for approval? And then get paid as a US citizen, or is that too complecated, restricted, and / or messy?
If anyone has experience with working for Apple from abroad, I would be interested to hear about that too. I am very new to all of this, so any information would be helpful.
Thank you very much!
April

Where did you read that? And what is meant by "freelance"? Usually, "freelance" means you are working as an independent contractor for local people and companies. To do that, you have to be a full-fledged member of the local economic society and have the ability to pay income taxes and remit sales taxes. Taxes are always the big thing for government - just ask Tim Cook.
I am confident that it would be perfectly legal for you to obtain a US Apple developer account and sell apps through that. Any money you make will be funneled through your US bank account. You will have to pay taxes on that money via your US tax return. I strongly suggest you get yourself a US bank account (and UPS store mailbox) in some state that does not have a state income tax.
As a US citizen, you will be paying US taxes until the day you die, and perhaps afterwards. If you decide to stay in Germany (and they let you - hehehe - good luck) then you would also fall under German/European income and tax regulation. You may or may not be able to maintain your US financial accounts and relationships. You will have to ask your German financial planner/lawyer at that point.
I have done the above via Canada. I can only imagine it would be about three times as hard from Germany. The bottom line is that if you are just going as a student, intending to come back, then you can code all you want. Make German localizations. All your App Store sales will have to get routed through the US.

HTML5 Web/Mobile App Development

Hi Friends,
Can anyone say what are the combinations available in html5 web/mobile app development like html5+JS ?

Here we will discuss the basics of HTML5 document. Today HTML5 is one of the most exciting buzz in web circles. Actaully HTML5 is the new standard for HTML.
it is still a work in progress. However, the major browsers support many of the new HTML5 elements and APIs but not all.
Rules for HTML5:
New features of HTML5 should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript
Reduce the need for external plugins (like Flash)
Better error handling
More markup to replace scripting
HTML5 should be device independent
The development process should be visible to the public
