Mobile Porting / Application Porting

Demand for mobile applications continues to increase every day. While this presents a huge opportunity for mobile development companies large & small, it also presents numerous challenges. One of biggest challenges facing the mobile application development companies is the sheer number of different operating systems, different devices, different device features, different screen sizes and local market requirements. Porting applications (iPhone application, iPad application, Android applications, BlackBerry applications & Windows Phone applications) from one mobile device to another mobile device has become a critical challenge for every mobile development company.

In the past many mobile app development companies have considered applications porting in-house. However, just collecting the information and guidelines on this large number of mobile platforms and devices itself could prove to be overwhelming and expensive.

By leveraging our India based cross platform team of mobile developers (iPhone developer, iPad developer, Android developer, BlackBerry developer & Windows Phone developer) we can help you to port your mobile applications very cost effectively. Our mobile porting services encompass:

Cross platform porting i.e. porting from one mobile platform to another.
Intra platform porting i.e. OS up-gradation, new feature addition or integration.
Porting to multiple devices i.e. multiple devices running on same platform but having different device characteristic.

Mobile Pundits follows a very systematic process for mobile porting:

Upon receiving the application porting requirements from our Clients we create a reference port, decide target mobile platforms and types of mobile devices.
We then perform gap analysis to evaluate the porting required.
Platform assessment & Device assessment is then performed to identify any limitations of the device that may prohibit exact application porting.
Subsequently we start the development for porting mobile application, wherein we carry out code rewrite, code revision, GUI changes, optimization etc.
Thorough QA Testing is then performed on the target/desired mobile platform/device after mobile application porting has been completed.
