“…So, the issues of device fragmentation still remain. Tarnacha and Maitland [7] analyze the issues mobile developers face with certification as well as the problems when setting their application on a network operator's site. However, the issue of conflicting distribution channels, which a customer has to navigate in order to find his/her application, is not properly addressed.…”

Mobile application development is a field that has gone through rapid change during the past two decades. Although, in the past, the development and control of mobile devices was performed by phone manufacturers and network carriers, and development was done 'in house', the evolution of mobile device capabilities has expanded the potential for mobile application developers. This evolution has created four main actors in the world of mobile applications: the network carrier, the phone manufacturer, the service provider, and the application developer. The application developer must run through a gauntlet of important decisions and choices to create a successful and marketable application. In this paper we investigate and analyze the challenges mobile developers face. A framework for the aggregation of major mobile application distribution channels is introduced with the aim of providing an efficient way to locate, purchase, and download a mobile application onto a mobile device.

“…In general, the environment is composed of a development platform on which the application is written, the operating system on which the platform was written, the cellular mobile device on which the operating system runs, and the cellular communications network on which the mobile phone operates [32]. The problem stems from the technical dependencies that exist between each environmental component that typically cause a mobile application to be tied to a relatively small combination of networks, devices, operating systems, and platforms [44].…”

“…Alternatively, the network or device might provide it's own API for these features. If an application uses these API it is then tied to the specific network GPS standard and device hardware [44]. It is because of these dependencies that consumers of mobile applications are divided into fragmented groups of environmental combinations which can only run a subset of all available mobile applications.…”

“…It also allows the the controlling party to mitigate problems with interoperability of applications across devices, networks, and platforms. Lastly, it allows the controlling party the ability to guarantee a certain level of quality in the applications that are released to end users [44]. Control of distribution is generally exercised through an application certification process in conjunction with the required use of a controlled distribution channel, such as a marketplace.…”

“…This certification process is usually considered by developers as both an investment and a barrier to entry. This is due to the high costs associated with performance and functionality testing on various combinations of platforms devices and networks, compared to the typical revenue the application is expected to yield [44]. Therefore developers need to fully understand the certification process of a targeted niche.…”

Contextual Android Education James Reed With advances in mobile phone hardware, the demand for mobile applications has risen drastically. This has resulted in mobile phones becoming a popular new medium for application development. However, the body of knowledge for contextual examples and tutorials leaves much to be desired. As of January 2010, California Polytechnic State University has offered a mobile development class that teaches students how to write applications for phones running Google's Android platform. This class aims at taking advantage of students' current interest in mobile applications to teach them about difficult computer science topics. As a corollary, the class hopes to foster and encourage a sense of independence and entrepreneurship through having students design, implement, and publish their own applications to the Android Application Marketplace. The main contribution of this thesis project comes in the form of a series of detailed educational laboratory exercises and a system for grading student submissions in an automated fashion. These labs are designed to supplement the Android documentation by providing contextual examples, activities, and tutorials. It is therefore the goal of this thesis project to aid in transforming the class of mobile development students into a group of successful, practicing, mobile developers.
