Introduction

I have mentioned some of the Software Tools for Mobile Developers that are used for developing the latest and modern feature-rich projects. There are bound factors to be thought of whereas choosing the corresponding development tool, based on the kind of the project.

App Icon Maker

A useful tool to create icons for Android and iOS in different sizes and extensions. So you will need only 1 icon 512*512 pixel, upload it and it will give you a zip of all icons with respective folders already made, so you just copy and paste the folder in the project.

IntelliJ IDEA

One of the most useful IDE used globally by the developers, this tool developed by the JetBrains. This tool supports different programming languages and SDK. i.e. Dart, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Android, ReactJs, etc. this IDE contains some useful plugins that make development easy like create a new file with starting code and more or it will provide hints for code completion,

Quick Type

This tool generates strongly-typed models and serializes from JSON, JSON Schema, and GraphQL queries, making it a breeze to work with JSON type-safely in any programming language (Taken from QT). This tool will save you a lot of time while parsing large amount of API response.

Testapi.io

When API is not ready by a web developer to be used and mobile developers want to test UI and functionality with API. You can use testapi.io to create your own API with JSON response or JSON array. it will give you a temporary link use within the app, it also provide GET, POST, DELETE method. So to put JSON data a dummy content from JSON generator mentioned above and use this in test API.

Diawi

Diawi is used mostly by the iOS developers, it is used for sharing Android application .apk file or iOS application .ipa to your clients or testing team. I personally use this for iOS application only. In iOS application, some specific steps are to follow to install the application unregistered device
