Mobile Network ‘Know-How’
for 3rd
party developersObjective:
The “developer guidelines”
document aims to create
awareness amongst new/novice developers while encouraging better development habits.
Provides a set of key principles (some independent of the underlying platform) covering:-AsynchronyConnection Loss and Error HandlingCachingEfficient Traffic UsageCompressionBackground/Foreground ModesSecurity
Scope :
Targeted at Android, Windows Mobile & iOS
