Or, I know the perfect app! I am sure you have browsed through the Apple app store and thought one of two things. Well I am here to tell you that if you have the passion and a great idea you don’t need to know how to program. Either, why didn’t I think of that?

That’s right, no previous programming experience. If you’ve ever thought the later I am sure that thought was immediately followed by “too bad I don’t know how to program”.

Perhaps you thought of the perfect way to improve an existing app, to make it better/faster/more fun. Your idea should fill a need somewhere to someone. The first step would obviously be to have a solid idea.

Maybe you will make someone laugh, or solve some problem that was not previously even thought of.

For your reference you w ill need them to create your certificates, define your App ID’s, create your distribution profile, compile your app and upload to iTunes connect. A good developer will know exactly what you are going to need to get this done. Once they have finished you will be ready to submit to the Apple Store. If you are programmer what are you waiting for? Code like the wind. Code! If you are not, find one and let them w orry about the programming.

Play with your design, think of color palates. Think of what your customer will experience and draw a rough sketch of it. Once you think you have the visual aspect complete your or your artist should render each screenshot as you would like them to look. Make them look pretty; these will help sell your idea!

You, or your artist should sketch out every aspect of your application.

Build a team around the idea. If you have the idea and know it is a winner do what any good entrepreneur would do. It would help but honestly, no. Fortunes are not made by the people that don’t take risks.

This can be expensive yes, but this is about an idea that you know will make it right?

Get The Word Out

If you can do any of the following jobs, bonus. You may need a GUI designer for the more complex apps, an artist to help visualize your not yet created idea and someone for marketing and promotion.

If not you will need a programmer.

Writing Code And Submitting

The Idea

Now What?

And finally, download and install the latest SDK for the iPhone. 5. First you are going to have to join the Apple iPhone Developer Program. You’ll also need an iPhone or iPod Touch, a MAC with OS X 10. This is going to run you $99. The Developer Program will give you access to tons of technical resources that you are going to need. You will need a few things along the way to App Store riches of course. 5, get your own Non-Disclosure Agreement ready.

Storyboarding And Picture Time

Don’t I Need To Know What I am Doing?

Don’t give up. Once it’s out there let people know. Use social networking sites to let people know your app exists.

Create a web site. Release a press release.
