Apple Asking Developers to Submit Keywords to Facilitate App Store Searching [Updated]

Posted by davidcao01 on July 29, 2009

Wednesday July 29, 2009 11:12 AM EST; Category: iPhone Written by Eric Slivka

MacRumors has heard that Apple has begun requesting that developers add keywords to their App Store application submissions in order to facilitate improved searching. As detailed in a report from AppleInsider, developers are permitted to enter up to 255 characters’ worth of keywords for each application.

“It is important to enter keywords for all applications as soon as possible so your application can continue to be successfully located on the App Store,” the update from Apple reads. “Keywords can be updated with the submission of a new binary.”

At its quarterly earnings conference call last week, Apple noted that it was working on improvements to App Store categorization in order to combat the “race to the bottom” in pricing that many users have complained is hampering developers’ efforts to bring high-quality titles to the App Store at sustainable price points. Improvements to the App Store’s search function appears to be a logical first step toward improving users’ ability to find relevant applications.

Update: Users are reporting that, despite Apple’s claims that up to 255 characters are allowed, the actual limit currently appears to be only 100 characters.

How iPhone 3.0 May Change the Smartphone Industry

Posted by brianzhou on March 23, 2009

On March 17, Apple presented the blueprint for the iPhone OS software 3.0 and some majoy updates will be available to iPhone owners in June 2009. The iPhone 3.0 software updates includes the abilities to search your iPhone, cut-copy-and-paste, a landscape keyboard, and push notifications. However, none of these updates were as revolutionary as the new features Apple offered to iPhone application developers.

With a rich set of over 1000 new APIs, iPhone SDK for iPhone OS 3.0 beta provides you with an amazing range of technologies to enhance the functionality of iPhone applications. New APIs also provide support for applications to communicate with hardware accessories attached to iPhone. The iPhone SDK updates for iPhone OS 3.0 includes in app purchase, peer to peer connectivity,apple push notification service and maps.

The most innovational feature is considered as the in app purchase because of the large potential opportunities that it presents to both developers and users. iPhone users have already ownloaded over 800 million applications, but the interaction between developers and users has always been ended after users finished the app downloading. But with this feature, users are allowed to purchase content or service from the application using the store kit framework. This new framework handles the financial aspects of the transaction, processes payment with the iTunes Store, and provides information about in app purchase to developers. For example, developers will be able to sell an application once, then sell upgrades through the application itself. Apple used three examples of how that might work: Magazines could sell subscriptions to content downloaded over time, game developers could sell additional levels and add-ons for their games, and publishers of travel guides could sell information for individual cities.

Although more and more users are going to download the app, but they are expecting to get the great iPhone app at a cheap price or for free and there are no reasons for them to come back to developer for more after they purchased the app. So it is hard for developers to make a living upon creating iPhone apps. The ability to sell within applications will help developers solve this problem. Nowadays, more and more transactions has been moving away from the desktop to the mobile, it will be more convenient for users to purchase goods and on-demands services within the app and a long-term relationship can be built up by this model.Developers can make sustainable income from each app that has a smaller base of committed customers. It’s no longer just the purchasing of goods, but also of services.

But, will it be perfect for developers?
