A Friend In Need

When I bumped into Ben after five years, I realized that my friend’s warm smile had disappeared. There was something unnatural about Ben’s behavior. The bags under his eyes did not help either. Once we were done eating, I plucked up the courage to ask what the problem was. Ben sighed and said in what was almost a whisper that his content writing firm was struggling.

The Challenge

What happened? You are a gifted writer. I was there when you bought the place and employed some promising writers. What went wrong?” I asked.

“I don’t know, Stefan. It was all fine for the first three years,” Ben said and straightened up in his chair. Continue reading Influencer Marketing Solution

On-Demand Mobile App Development

Consumers nowadays spend a very large percentage of their digital media time on mobile apps. Many enterprises already use their mobile apps as a powerful marketing tool to promote and sell their products or services. Several studies suggest companies nowadays prefer on-demand mobile apps to maximize sales by delivering on-demand products or services to consumers. Like custom mobile apps, on-demand mobile app development is done according to precise business needs.

But these apps enable enterprises to maximize sales by providing products or services to customers on-demand. When a consumer uses an on-demand mobile app for the first time, the app captures his personal information and credit card details. The consumer can avail the specific product or service on-demand subsequently simply by sending a request through the app. Each time a customer sends a request through the app, a trigger is generated in the system to meet his demand precisely and timely.

It is Time to Attend the Second Edition of TechBhubaneswar Event

TechBhubaneswar 2017
TechBhubaneswar 2017

The new technologies and emerging trends often transform the way software applications are developed, tested, and deployed. At present, consumers spend more digital time on mobile apps that mobile websites. But many analysts believe that chatbots have the potential to make mobile apps obsolete in near future. Hence, no programmer can keep software applications relevant and profitable in the long run simply by writing clean and maintainable code. Likewise, no testing professional can evaluate the new-age software applications using conventional software testing methods and tools.

The working IT professionals must know the latest technologies and monitor the changing trends to build futuristic software applications. The tech conferences make it easier for working professionals to learn and discuss a wide range of technologies and trends despite their packed work schedules. But the IT professionals working in eastern India often find it daunting to attend tech conferences regularly. Mindfire Solutions makes it easier for working professionals to hone their technical knowledge and skills by organizing the second edition of the first tech conference in Eastern India – TechBhubaneswar.

Geospatial Targeting App using Beacon Technology

Geospatial Targeting App

Michael, a software designer, was about to stumble upon an idea that would change his life. He had recently moved to Lisbon, and was living alone. But he did manage to find a date and was hoping for this to be the great start to life in this new city. He did not have the right shirt. He wanted to wear a classic white button-down but the few shops he visited, it was too expensive. He had one long-lost friend in the city, whom he decided to call for advice.

The Hiccup

“Hey Sam, it’s Michael.”
“Oh, hello Michael! Great to hear from you! What’s up?”

“I’m alright. Just moved to Lisbon. Was hoping if you could help me out with something.”
“Great! Tell me, what do you need?”

“Could you suggest a relatively inexpensive place where I could get a classic, white shirt?” he asked.
“Ah yes. You could try the Acropolis Mall. It’s got a whole lot of shops. I’m sure you’ll find something in your budget there.”

“Thank you so much! I’ll check it out and let you know.”
“Sure, anytime. We should catch up soon!”

“Yes, we should. I’ll give you a call tomorrow, and we’ll figure something out!”
“Sure thing! I hope you find the shirt you’re looking for. Ciao!”

“Thanks Sam! Ciao.”

The Challenge

Michael went to the monstrous mall that Sam had suggested, but he had a nagging feeling it wouldn’t work. After spending more than three hours in the mall, having visited at least 12 different stores, he gave in, and bought a rather expensive shirt.

On his way out, he saw a sign inside another store which seemed to have a rather hefty discount on shirts.

On closer inspection, he could spot a white shirt hanging with a price of nearly half of what he had paid. With a sigh, he shuffled out of the mall, when the idea struck him.

The Solution

Michael called Sam, his software designer friend from college, to explain his idea.

“Sam, what if there was a way to know the promotions in each store, without having to explore all of them?”
Sam was unsure how to respond. “How would you do it?”

“It’s simple. Stores can install beacons. Customers like us, can install apps on our phones. Every time a potential customer passes by, the beacon can push a notification of the store owner’s choosing to the customer. This has the potential to influence the customer’s decision-making, while also informing them about the in-store promotions. Win-win for both.”

“That is brilliant, and simple too!” she replied ecstatically. “I know just the people who can help us bring this to life!”

The Experts

We were well-acquainted with Sam; we had worked with Sam on other projects as well. Sam and Michael reached out to us with their idea.

We realized its potential went far beyond stores, and could also be used as an interactive tool in events, exhibitions, airport, hotels, and other places, and helped them create a well-rounded product applicable across sectors and domains.

Our mobile app development team designed an app solution for iOS and Android, that would have two types of users – subscribers (business owners) and end-customers. They loved the design and we allocated senior iOS app developers and Android developers to develop the custom app.

The subscribers could choose from a list of templates, the kind of message they wanted to send to their customers through the location-based technology offered by beacons.

————————————————————————————————————–

Sam and Michael are now successfully running their venture and come back to us often to help them customize and update the app to meet specific needs.

Talk to Mindfire Solutions, and we’ll help you push your idea to the real world!

New Features and Enhancements in iOS 11.1

New Features and Enhancements in iOS 11.1
New Features and Enhancements in iOS 11.1

Apple unveiled iOS 11 at its Worldwide Developer Conference 2017. It subsequently rolled out iOS 11 officially in September for iOS, iPad, and iPod Touch. In addition to providing a number of new features and enhancements, the 11th edition of iOS also facilitates multitasking. It even comes with an upgraded Siri with the capability to translate the same sentences into multiple languages without any error. At the same time, the version 11 of Apple’s mobile operating system also brings augmented reality (AR) to iPhone and iPad through a new framework called ARKit. Apple subsequently rolled out several beta versions of iOS 11.1 for testing and evaluation. The company recently rolled iOS 11.1 as a major iOS 11 update. The version 11.1 of iOS comes with several new features, enhancements and bug fixes, along with 70 new emojis.

Overview of New Features and Enhancements in iOS 11.1

Improved Photos

The version 11.1 of iOS resolves some of the problems related to photo apps caused by iOS 11. It resolves the issues that made certain photos appear blurred and slowed down playback effect of Live Photo. Likewise, iOS 11.1 also resolves the issues that impact performance when a user swipes screen shots. It even comes with fixes for an issue that prevented the photos display as part of People album while being restored from the iCloud Backup.

Refined Accessibility Features

IOS 11 comes with several enhancements to improve accessibility of Apple devices. It even provides a number of new Accessibility functions including improved Braille support, improved VoiceOver rotor actions for announcing incoming notifications, and improved VoiceOver access to multi-page PDFs. Many users are expected to install iOS 11.1 to improve accessibility of their iPhones and iPads.

Enhanced Battery Life

Many Apple device users experienced battery problem after upgrading to iOS 11. The version 11.1 of the mobile operating system addresses and resolves the battery problem. It comes with enhancements to fix the battery problem caused by iOS 11. Hence, a user can easily extend the battery life of his device by upgrading to the major iOS 11 update.

Fixes for Key Reinstallation Attack (KRACK)

IOS 11.1 comes with fixes for a Wi-Fi vulnerability called Key Reinstallation Attack (CRACK). KRACK affects the security of iOS devices by cracking the widely used Wi-Fi standard –WPA2. WPA2 is used by most device manufacturers to protect Wi-Fi passwords. The updated version of iOS 11 comes with fixes for KRACK. Hence, users can easily enhance the security of their iPhones and iPads by installing iOS 11.1.

Restored 3D Touch App Switcher

After installing iOS 11 on their 3D touch equipped devices, users noticed the absence of 3D Touch App Switcher gesture. Apple intentionally removed the gesture during beta testing of iOS 11. It even released iOS 11 without implementing the 3D Touch App Switcher gesture. But Apple has restored 3D Touch App Switcher gesture with iOS 11.1. A user can avail the gesture on his 3D touch equipped device after installing iOS 11.1.

Changed Reachability Behavior

While using iOS 11, users lack the option to access Cover Sheet or Notification Center after enabling Reachability. IOS 11.1 allows users to access Cover Sheet even when Reachability is enabled. A user can access the Cover Sheet simply by swiping down from the top half of the screen. The Plus model users are expected to upgrade to iOS 11.1 to take advantage of the restored Cover Sheet access option.

Over 70 New Emoji Characters

Most mobile device users nowadays look for new and appealing emoji characters. IOS 11.1 enables users to avail over 70 new emoji characters. The new Apple emoji characters provided by the updated version of 11 includes expressive smiley faces, gender-neutral characters, mythical creatures, animals, food items and clothing options. The largest batch of emoji icons provided by iOS 11.1 will definitely appeal young users.

Multiple Emoji Suggestions

In addition to providing over 70 new emojis, iOS 11.1 further allows users to avail multiple emoji suggestions while using the QuickType keyboard in the Messages app. The updated QuickType keyboard displays and suggests multiple emoji characters at its end. Hence, it becomes easier for the user to pick and send the most relevant emoji characters almost instantaneously.

Several Bug Fixes

In addition to the new features and enhancements, iOS 11.1 also comes with a number of bug fixes. It comes with fixes for issues that caused cleared Mail notifications to reappear on Lock screen, affected movement of data between managed apps in an enterprise environment, and prevented the VoiceOver rotor to perform precisely. At the same time, iOS 11.1 also comes with a number of bug fixes related to Apple Watch app notifications.

Apple enables users to install and update iOS 11.1 by sending automatic notifications. A user even has option to upgrade to iOS 11.1 manually. But the size of the iOS 11 update differs from one device to another. Also, Apple has already started testing iOS 11.2. It has made first beta of iOS 11.2 available to select iOS app developers for testing and evaluation. Hence, there are chances that many users may update to iOS 11.2 directly instead of installing iOS 11.1.
