IoT is one of the best outcomes of Artificial Intelligence, with its innovation the smart home devices are thriving in the market. And these are our smartphones by which we mostly connect to the smart home devices. IoT obtrusively works in the background of many smart processes without even realizing its presence to us. As per a report, it has been predicted that the worldwide spending on IoT will cross $1 trillion marks by 2020. During the period from 2017 to 2021, the compound annual growth rate will remain 14.4 per cent. IoT has reached many different industries, such as healthcare, agriculture, education, and energy.
You can find many different IoT devices in your surroundings such as smart cars, drones, wearables, health monitors, home appliances, human tissue etc. All these IoT based devices are operatable with the help of mobile applications. IoT is also having a significant presence in our mobile application development world. IoT devices and mobile applications are two sides of the coin. They complement each other for creating a by-product, which is highly useful for other enterprises. In this article, we are going to tell you how IoT can affect the process of mobile application development.
Centralized Application Development
IoT has been highly focused on a centralized platform to the end-users for managing multiple devices. This improves the complete management for both end-users and mobile developers and also makes it cost-effective.
Better Connectivity
The developers now seek services that give them continuous development regardless of where they are. IoT helps mobile app developers for developing applications with many different connectivity options. It improves the connectivity between different mobile devices, mobile apps, systems, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, and other modern and conventional connectivity options.

Better Security
Data and information of the clients is vital information that can’t be compromised in any circumstances. While developing mobile applications, data is often stored at different locations which can be jeopardized. When several devices are interconnected to each other, there can be chances of account hacking, information stealing, which is highly confidential. IoT enables mobile app developers to use tight security protocols and data encryption methods to protect data and prevent sensitive information leaks.
Reduce Human Efforts
You can use IoT for automating many different systems in the mobile application development process as well. You can understand that IoT allows you to track your cab location, switching on lights, checking security cameras, and can also help you in developing smart mobile apps.
This makes the life of both developers and users quite easy. When users can manage all from a single device, ultimately it reduces the amount of effort being put by developers while building an app.
Highly Convenient
There was a time when mobile app developers have to put a lot of effort into the mobile application development process. But now because of the Internet of Things, tasks have become quite simpler, easier, and better. Now a mobile app developer can manage, automate, and streamline the tasks to himself and his team in an advanced manner without involving any human hands. Plus, IoT mobile app developers can create user-friendly apps enhancing the overall user experience big time.
