DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILLSETS

Just like any other application developer, iOS developers design, program and test applications created for a specific operating system or platform. However, iOS developers are often required to create applications that can run on a multitude of devices with various display sizes and capabilities. Such applications must be able to adjust to each device’s specifications, which means the developer must anticipate and compensate for those differences.
