Mobile app development has a tremendous capability to earn millions of dollars in the coming future. However, you should be aware that not every app has the potential to earn an equal share of Android and iOS market revenue.

Although there are apps following the same mobile app development process, every business is not fortunate enough to make billions of dollars with an app.

This picture has given rise to the questions in the minds of startups and developers. There are questions coming up like “ Do apps make money?”, “How to make money from mobile apps?” We will address such questions in this blog to clarify all the doubts about making money with apps.

Before we enter into all those questions, we should know that in the first quarter of 2019, app users could download more than 2.6 million Android, and 2.2 million iOS apps. The total number of app downloads in the year 2018 according to App Annie was at 194 billion. The Apple App Store and the Google Play Store control this aspect. They are two of the most important marketplaces in the world, absolutely global in extent.

So, there is a tough competition among the apps. And if you wish your app idea to sail, the right considerations are important before getting down with the app development business. Let’s check out what should you know before getting into making money with the apps.

Things to remember before going for app development

As a startup, you just think of making money with an app idea. But you need to pay attention to the mystery regarding how some of the apps become so popular and how do they earn equal money and recognition. If you ignore these points, you are most likely to end up failing.

So, first things first. While deciding how to make money by developing apps, focus on the features which are making the apps popular in the market. Knowing the feature will improve the possibilities of earning potential profits and at the same time, it will reduce your cost of developing a mobile app. 

A study suggests that 63% of users favor mobile apps for the single purpose of comfort. Basically, the customers want an app that is fast, dynamic and looks great. 

Another important factor that the users are concerned about is the payment. Every app where it is E Scooter, Fintech, On-demand Taxi or a Food delivery app – they all have one common issue- the safety of payments. Many customers are suspicious regarding the security of an app which stops them from purchasing your products. It is high time to consider a secure payment gateway integration for your mobile app. 

You can also connect most used mobile payment apps such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, etc. in your app to enhance your Android/iOS app revenue.

Determining the best platform is additionally an important factor. Android vs iOS is a highly controversial topic and apparently has no conclusion to it. But, picking one among the two demands some earnest statistical backing, particularly when you are creating apps for money.

For iOS, the average in-app purchase per user is 2-times higher than it is for Android. But this does not make iOS the best option. The number of Android users exceed iOS users easily even though iOS has higher in-app purchases.

The number of Android-powered smartphones traded was 329.5M in the second quarter of 2018 compared to that of 44.72 of that running on iOS. This means that Android users are more and it can be the right platform to make money with an app – given the appropriate strategy has been used.

Now, let us check out how does the payment cycle work in Play Store and Apple Store.

How are Payments Made in Play Store?

The amount that a paid app collects gets credited to your account within the cycle of 30 days. There is no least amount in the case of the amount you make with apps in the Play Store. If your Android app gains money above $1, the money is credited to your account. Nevertheless, the Play Store runs on a 70:30 payment distribution ratio. Play Store holds 30% and credits the other 70% in your account of the amount that you earn with apps. So, that’s how an Android app earns.

How are Payments Made in App Store?

The iOS App Payments are normally made in 45 days of the last working day of a month when the app purchases were done. To collect the payments, you must produce all the required bank and tax details and records. You should keep the minimum payment level. Also, there should be a minimum threshold price that you should have gained before the amount is credited in your account. If not, the amount is carried forward to the next payment date, until the least settled iOS app revenue amount is earned.

Revenue Growth For Android and iOS

Are you curious about the revenues generated by the above-stated models, iOS and Android? Let us check it out:

According to a report in SensorTower, global mobile users spent $71.3 billion on apps and games in 2018. The total amount spent consisted of in-app purchases, subscriptions, and premium apps on the App Store and Google Play. The amount was calculated as22.7 percent higher than the $58.1 billion, in the year 2017.

The users of Apple’s App Store spent an approximated $46.6 billion in 2018. This amount was 88 percent more than the $24.8 billion spent on Google Play. So, this showed a growth of 20.4 percent for the App Store, while Google Play revenue grew 27.3 percent in the same period.

 

During 2018, the firs-time app installs exceeded 105.3 billion as the combined growth for both stores of 11.1 percent. Google Play app installs increased 13 percent year-over-year to 75.7 billion

Whereas, global App Store downloads calculated 29.6 billion for the year, a 6.6 percent raise over 2017. So, it can be seen that the Google Play is leading in the first-time app installs at 2.6 times the App Store.

Mobile games have seen great spending reaching $54.7 billion in 2018, a year-over-year improvement of 15.2 percent from 2017. So, the mobile gaming share of all app revenue for 2018 is taken up to approx 77 percent. App Store gaming revenue was up by 10 percent from 2017 reaching $33.2 billion. Whereas, Google Play grew by 24.2 percent to $21.5 billion.

The mobile downloads grew over 2017 at 6.4 percent, totaling an estimated 38.3 billion across both platforms. Google Play installs were increased a little more than the App Store’s at 6.4 percent versus 6.2 percent, to 29.4 billion and 8.9 billion, each.

How much money do Apps make?

We have clarified what should you consider while going for mobile app development and how the payment system is operated in Play Store and App Store. We have also learned about the revenue models. Now let’s understand how much money can you make from an app.

The money you can earn with your app depends on a few major points of significance:

  • The Platform on which your app is based.

Apple is the winner when in terms of money an app makes. The figures state that above 25% of the iOS App Developers make more than $5,000 from their app whereas only 16% of the Android App Developers are able to earn around $5,000 from their Play Store Applications.

  • In-App Purchase Option

The in-app purchase option allows your users to access the premium features of the app by paying for them ultimately making you more money. The gaming apps, FinTech apps or even the food delivery apps can have this option to make them more interesting.

  • In-App Advertising

In-app advertising can work with your FinTech apps, E-scooter rental apps, On-demand Taxi booking, Food delivery apps, and other such on-demand apps. It includes click per view like agreements where you can charge your partner company $0.01 for every view. If you get more than 10000 users daily, you are likely to make $100 every day.

  • Subscription Model

People like to spend money if you add value to their lives. The E-scooter rental businesses and Food delivery apps can easily earn through the subscription model as thousands of people are interested to keep visiting back these apps.

  • Compatibility on different devices

You can earn maximum when your app is compatible with a variety of devices and is made accessible to more audiences. Make sure your app works on different platforms and devices and supports different operating systems to help it reach more users. Among native and hybrid, choosing hybrid can help your app function seamlessly over many devices.

Which Mobile App Category Makes the Most Money?

There is a huge impact that the app category has on your earnings. So, choose wisely.

The On-demand taxis and E-scooters have great potential to generate huge revenues but at the same time, there is a big competition in this arena. 

Here are a few categories that you can consider to earn high revenue for your business.

  • FinTech Apps
  • On-demand Apps
  • Entertainment Apps
  • Social Media Apps
  • Gaming Apps

Can you make money from apps regardless of the App Store or Play Store?

Yes, there is no doubt that you can make money from the apps without considering a particular store using various payment models to choose for your app. However, you have to consider the market scenario and other factors impacting the revenue of the apps when you choose a platform.

Summing Up:

Considering a platform, business model and market analysis are important for you before jumping to conclusions related to app development to earn more money.

We can help you to decide and develop an amazing app with extraordinary features for your business. For more information related to revenue generation and app development do not hesitate to connect with us for a free consultation session.

After Apple and Microsoft, Google gathered hundreds of tech bloggers, news reporters, and YouTubers to present new hardware products which are by the way very appealing.

Google held an annual “Made By Google” hardware event in New York City where the search giant revealed many new gears including much-anticipated next-generation of Google Pixel smartphones.

Though ‘hardware’ was on limelight during the whole hardware event, they have, knowingly or unknowingly, exhibited a groundbreaking software which makes that hardware purposeful and will change the game of android app development.

google pixel 4 event-

So, if you have missed Made By Google event and want to know major launches along with that groundbreaking software update, keep reading this blog. In this blog, we have covered everything Google has launched at its hardware event and what will be the impact of Google Pixel’s new revolutionary radar chip on the android app development.

Pixel 4 event highlights:

 

» Google Stadia

 
Cloud gaming is the future of gaming and Google knows it very well. Thus, they decided to jump into the cloud gaming market as the early player by launching Google Stadia. It is the cloud gaming service which is capable of streaming video games up to 4K resolution at 60 FPS. It also supports high-dynamic-range.

Google announced that Google Stadia cloud gaming service will be accessible on the desktop through Google Chrome browser and on televisions through smartphone and Chromecast. Players can also live stream the games on YouTube as Google has successfully achieved integration of Stadia with Youtube.

Google Stadia service will be launched on November 19th.

» Pixel Buds

 
Finally, Google has its own answer to Airpods! Google Pixel Buds will cost $179 and Google will start shipping it in Spring 2020. Google claims that 5 hours is the output of the single charge which is not plentiful for some of the heavy users. However, the floss-style charging case is sufficient to provide an additional 24 hours’ worth of charge.

Talking about the most highlighted feature of the Pixel Buds, it can adapt the sound based on your environment and cancel the background noise like the wind.

» Pixelbook Go

 
Google hasn’t launched high-end Chrome OS laptop since a while. But with the Pixelbook Go, Google has shattered the illusion that Google is leaving the laptop market!

Pixelbook Go is enjoying 13.3” display, 16GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. Google promises that the battery of Pixelbook Go easily lasts up to 12 hours.

The reason why Google Pixelbook Go is the most prominent launch of the event is because of its price. For the first time, Google has launched its Chromebook with an affordable price tag. Here are the specifications and price of all variants.

  • $649: 8GB RAM, 64GB SSD, FHD, 8th Gen Intel Core m3
  • $849: 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, FHD, 8th Gen Intel Core i5
  • $999: 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD, FHD, 8th Gen Intel Core i5
  • $1,399: 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, UHD, 8th Gen Intel Core i7

 
All these variants of Pixelbook Go come in two colours: just black and not pink. Pixelbook Go is defined by soft and has rounded corners. It is also made out of magnesium and not aluminium. Google has already justified their choice by stating that magnesium is having a better strength-to-weight ratio than aluminium.

» New Nest Aware

 
Nest is the brand of the Google used to market smart home products including smart security doorbells, cameras and locks.

Nest Aware enables you to add a recording of the Nest cameras to the cloud. For that, Google used to charge a few bucks per device. But, now it is a flat fee. All you need to pay is $6 per month and the video files of all devices get stored on the cloud.

» Nest Wifi

 
The router has been that one piece of technology which has witnessed the least innovations in the last few years. But now, finally, Google has decided to take routers into account and make them futuristic or (according to Google) hybrid!

The new Nest Wifi is having an in-built smart speaker. In other words, Google has combined the router and smart speaker and launched a hybrid router/smart speaker! Since Nest Wifi router is having in-built smart speaker, you can control the WiFi settings with voice commands and router can process your commands more easily than previously. The Nest Wifi will be available this November.

» New Nest Mini

 
Google has rebranded Google Home Mini as Nest Mini. But that’s not all Google has declared!

Google has also declared that the new Nest Mini is now wall-mountable without any adapter. It now offers double bass. It is armed with new machine learning chip for faster response. And more microphones have been assembled to work better in louder environments.

Google will start shipping it from October 22nd for $49.

» Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL

 
Google has also revealed its flagship Android phone and officially ended the endless series of leaks!

Like always, Google has launched two flagship phones under its Pixel lineup. First is Pixel 4 and second is Pixel 4XL.

Talking about Pixel 4, it will come in at 5.7” with 2800 mAh battery. Whereas, Pixel 4XL comes in at 6.3” with 3700 mAh battery. The common things between Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL are Snapdragon 855 processor and 6GB of RAM. Cameras of both phones are also identical – 12.2 megapixels f/ 1.7 main camera and a 16-megapixels f/2.4 telephoto lens along with 8 megapixels of front camera. Google’s AI-centric image processing software increases the quality of the photos drastically. It also supports live HDR preview with dual exposure controls and an improved Night sight mode.

However, the main focus here for Google is radar chip inside which allows users to switch songs, snooze alarm and silence calls by waving a hand over the phone. These motion controls aren’t new things in the industry. But Google has enhanced the trustworthiness of it by bringing radar which actually detects hand movements better than a camera sensor.

» Here’s how Google’s radar chip works.

 
Radar uses radio waves to identify the size, location and proximity of the objects. This technology uses 60GHz radio frequency which doesn’t travel too far and successfully passed all safety requirements. However, Google hasn’t seized the approval from the Indian government to use 60GHz radio frequency in mobile and so, Google is not planning to launch Google Pixel 4/4XL in India, at least for now!

As of now, motion sensing is enabled in some of the system apps, but Google is planning to bring more system apps as well as third party apps under the same roof. That clearly means that the era of precise motion sensing or air gesture is coming and this time, it will change the game of android app development more brutally than past when Samsung, HTC and LG like companies have introduced camera-based motion sensing and influenced many android apps.

Coruscate is the top android app development company which has developed 200+ android apps. Our teams of developers and designers have already earned expertise to develop an app which has the gesture as well as motion-sensing features. Having such features in the app increases the usefulness and appeal. You can contact us to share your requirements and know the cost of development.

Google – the Android maker is infusing cash to promote its purpose to draw more developers who can build apps for the world’s most famous operating system.

They have launched new free video courses to help up-and-coming programmers learn Kotlin, the fastest-growing programming language on Microsoft-owned GitHub. This is said to be Google’s attempt to move Android app makers from Oracle-owned Java to Kotlin. Kotlin is the official Android programming language from JetBrains, a Czech-based integrated development environment (IDE) maker.

Google has offered two new courses for developers to study Kotlin app development. There are two tutorials launched to make learning easier. The courses launched by Google are “Kotlin Bootcamp for Programmers” and “Developing Android Apps in Kotlin”. The courses are designed to help developers to understand Kotlin and then develop functional Android apps.

Kotlin is gaining popularity every day as Google has declared it to be its official language.

 
Google has started making efforts from the last year by working with online developer education company Udacity to present free lessons and has now offered them in the form of ‘Codelab courses that are formatted like tutorials’.

Google advertises Kotlin as a “compact” and “advanced object-oriented language that offers a strong type system, type inference, null safety, properties, lambdas, extensions, coroutines, higher-order functions”.

How to Avail Online Kotlin Courses?

 
Google has introduced new free courses to push the developers in the direction of developing apps for Android. The developers can learn Kotlin app development through Google Codelabs either via Kotlin Bootcamp for Programmers or Developing Android Apps in Kotlin. The two courses are tutorial based lessons. They provide valuable information that the developers must know about Kotlin.

The courses are directed at developers who have some expertise in programming object-oriented, statically typed languages like Java or C# and who have used IDEs such as JetBrains’ IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, Eclipse, or Microsoft’s Visual Studio.

What will the developers know in “Kotlin Bootcamp for Programmers”?

 
It is mentioned in Google’s blog that this course as per its name is a complete walk-through of the Kotlin programming language which concentrates on training developers on how to write simple statements, functional guidance with extending built-in functions, and other such development processes.

What will developers study in the “Developing Android Apps in Kotlin” course?

 
Developing Android apps in Kotlin is very easy and one can learn the language with the help of the courses very easily. The developers will first check out “Hello World!” in order to create simple UIs or even building complex apps that request data from a live server.

They have dedicated a lot of space to the Android Jetpack which is a toolkit for developing Android apps. It also includes elements like Work Manager. The program also centers on libraries, also including the ones for loading images, JSON-parsing, and networking as many of the developers must have rightly anticipated.

The lessons in these two Kotlin app development courses allow developers to study Kotlin. According to Google, the courses help the developers to test their growing skills on an app. As mentioned in the company’s blogpost, in each lesson of the course a developer can work with a realistically architected app and execute key features.

If a developer is learning how to deploy a dice roller app, he studies and learns about the implementation of navigation by building the ‘Android Trivia’ game. One can learn about creating a Room database by building a sleep tracker app.”

Google is promoting Kotlin app development and tutorials

 
Google has revised the courses to publish them as tutorial-based Codelab courses. More than 2.5 million users have worked through Google Codelabs in the current year.

The company ensures mobile app developers who learn the courses will study everything that is used to program in Kotlin. The course also includes how to write Kotlin statements and writing builtin functions.

We have seen Google trying hard to inspire developers to go for Kotlin for Android app development and Kotlin app development tutorials. But there is still a war between the most popular language choice for creating Android apps as most developers were comfortable with Java.

Many developers still prefer to work with Java as their primary language and also it was the initial language for the Android app development. Dice has conducted a survey this summer supporting the fact that approximately 85% of developers choose Java instead of Kotlin.

Nevertheless, there is no refuting that Kotlin is winning recognition with each passing day. After the initiation of the two free Kotlin app development courses, we can imagine a day when Kotlin will outmode Java is every way.

Android app development: PlayStore’s updated UI and app approval policy is exhibiting the urgency of well-designed and well-developed app https://www.coruscatesolution.com/android-app-development-for-latest-google-play-store/ Fri, 23 Aug 2019 14:28:46 +0000 https://www.coruscatesolution.com/?p=20871 Google has updated the UI of PlayStore and app approval process. So, develop a well-designed android app which gets approved within time.

The post Android app development: PlayStore’s updated UI and app approval policy is exhibiting the urgency of well-designed and well-developed app appeared first on Coruscate Solutions.

]]>
This week, Google PlayStore has experienced two major changes – one is with its visual and another is with its app approval policy. These changes seem ignoble news, but they matter a lot for those entrepreneurs who are planning to develop a mobile app and kick-off any sort of online business.

Looking for android app development service and want to get it approved on Store?

 
In this blog, we will wrap our minds around those two recent updates and what do they mean to the mobile app development industry.

Update 1: Google PlayStore UI update

 
When a user opens any online window such as browser page, PlayStore, and an app, he gets lost as his eyes fail to catch what he is looking for in between poorly presented content and icons. This goof-up results in bad user experience and falling user rate.

But there is nothing new in it. None of the online windows is well-designed, except Google’s updated PlayStore!

Recently, Google’s PlayStore has been gone through a massive design change. This design change includes a cleaner look-and-feel, new navigation, and an easier way to see app information. They have relocated the main navigation to the bottom of the screen and distilled it into just four tabs which are Games, Apps, Movies & TV and Books. According to Google, their design philosophy of keeping Games and Apps separate has been helping them to serve the right kind of content.

Through the Game and App tabs, users can go into other sections which have also been modified, not by the look but by the place. They have relocated “For You” suggestions, top charts, and more within the new tabs.

As users move ahead, he witnesses more changes. For instance, upon reaching the particular app page, the user can now see richer app information and bigger call-to-action button (e.g “Install”).

In addition to all of this, Google has also introduced new icons – new uniform rounded square shape have replaced their old Freeform icons.

» Controversy over Google PlayStore design update

 
As soon as Google announced its new PlayStore UI, people started comparing it with Apple’s App Store. According to many online resources, it’s hard to miss Apple’s influence on PlayStore’s visual makeover. They are claiming that from the much cleaner layout to the new placement of the navigation buttons and page layout are inspired by Apple’s App Store. However, it doesn’t matter to you. The thing which matters to you is the importance of well-designed app and how you can derive benefits from it.

We, as a leading mobile app development company, always carry out a wireframing technique to come up with the best possible design of the app. Our designers are also equipped with enough cleverness to design the app according to the human behaviors so that you can offer the ultimate user experience and never experience falling user rate.

Update 2: Google PlayStore App Approval Policy

 
According to Statista, Google PlayStore accommodates 26 million apps which is indeed a great thing! But when quantity compromises the quality, it turns out to be a challenge, and Google has been facing it.

In the past few years, many android app development companies and entrepreneurs have uploaded several malicious applications on PlayStore. As a result, people started preferring IOS app development and the Apple App Store over Google PlayStore. However, Google burned the candle from both sides to remove such apps from PlayStore. According to Google, they have deleted nearly 70,000 mobile apps and 85 adware-infected apps. They even have imposed many rules such as building an app on the latest OS version. But it failed to purify the Google PlayStore completely.

Thus, they have finally decided to revamp the app approval process. Now, they will take more time to approve your app. During this time, they will analyze every module of the app and if they find anything unsatisfactory, they won’t allow you to upload your app on PlayStore.

Google though hasn’t declared the parameters to certify the app. But, according to our business experts and app scientists, Google would consider data security and privacy as the major parameter to validate the app.

While Google’s new PlayStore policy will undoubtedly restrict the unauthorized app to be live, it will affect the current android app development market scenario and app marketing strategies. Since Google hasn’t confirmed approval time, no one can say how much time Google will take to approve your app. Meaning, you cannot carry out pre-launch marketing strategy efficiently.

In addition to this, Google’s very unexpected effort to sustain its worthiness is going to disturb the schedule of the android app development projects as unknown delay in the approval process can make app owner and android app development companies wait to deploy apps in the market.

To survive in such an unsettled situation, Coruscate emerges as a ray of hope. Following are the very proven methods to speed up the approval process.

  • Before submitting your app, make sure your app doesn’t have any bug.
  • In addition to bugs, you are required to test the vulnerability of your app.
  • You need to prepare all the required information and design assets in advance.
  • Don’t do app store optimization to the extreme level just for the sake of higher rank.
  • Hire a professional technology partner who assists you with the tech aspects of the app approval.

 

How Coruscate can help you with android app development and get it approved within time?

 
Coruscate is the top android app development company which has developed 200+ successful apps. While our highly skilled developers and designers will develop your scalable and future-ready app, our business experts and technical experts will make sure that your app gets approved without experiencing a delay. In fact, our all apps have been approved in the first shot as we are satisfying the PlayStore’s submission policy in the best possible way.

Thanks to the ability of Android to provide privacy and security on devices, Android OS becomes the world’s most successful mobile operating system. Following graph depicts that market share of the Android operating system against its competitors. And with the launch of the new Android version named Q, it is estimated that the graph of Android’s market share will go much higher.

When Android OS version 9 has been launched in August 2018, people appreciated it as Google has added some of the best features like permission control, a smarter battery control, and improved notification.  Despite having dominant features, those features have some limitations. To overcome it, Google has recently launched Android 10 or Android Q. This version of the Android OS has improved features which satisfy the more safety and the privacy than the previous version of Android OS.

android vs iOS

New features of the Android version Q 10 is so diverse that you need to read it for not only making new apps but you need to understand it to prevent your old app from the instability.

Top Android Q 10 features which, you must have to add in your android app

1. More Defined User Confirmation Methods

As we discussed, in Android version 10, they put more emphasis on providing more security but in a convenient way. Thus, they add this feature which lets users confirm high-risk actions in a minimal way. A user just has to confirm his identity through one of the biometric modality like facial recognition, fingerprint and he will not ask to provide any other detail again.

In the android app development phase, the developer can add this feature in the app by adding a simple condition. If the action has low risk and a developer do not want user configuration from the user then the developer simply needs to give a false condition on setRequireConfirmation().

2. Way to check the biometric capability of the user’s device  

Google has added this feature in the Android version Q for the developers. While in the phase of Android app development, if a developer wants to add biometric authentication feature for the app for more security, he must need to check the biometric capacity of the device. To check it, the developer can use canAuthenticate() method.

3. Fast Wi-Fi Direct Connection

In Android Q, developers get two new updated API classes for establishment capability of fast connection while using Wi-Fi direct. Older AIP classes for Wi-Fi direct wifiP2pCnfig and wifiP2pmanager have been upgraded in Android Q.

If you are wondering what is Wi-Fi direct, then in the simple words, it lets two devices to connect with each other without a wireless access point.

4. Monochrome Camera Support
