Things every app should do

Test your app with real people, as soon as possible. Gather and act on their feedback. And make sure your app does all of the following things—too many don’t!

Record usage analytics to track who’s using the app, where they are, what devices they have, and what they’re doing with the app.
Provide automated reporting of any errors encountered while the app is running.
Let the person using the app send you feedback (beyond leaving a review in the store).
Allow the person using the app to work offline (limited functionality and/or old data is better than nothing!).
Notify users of important updates and changes to the app.
Adjust the onscreen keyboard depending on the type of data required. ...

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
