Czech developers and mobile platforms
Alexandre, Berenika ; Švelch, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Huněk, Filip (referee)
This Master's degree thesis deals with a specific area of creative industries: development of mobile applications. The aim is to identify and understand the work routines of Czech iOS developers while considering the importance of design as one of the benchmarks of mobile application quality on the Apple App Store. I mainly focus on mapping work routines of selected developers and their thinking about design in the context of Apple devices and iOS platform, assuming that Apple establishes a high standard of visual and functional qualities. I am addressing an issue of application usability not only in terms of design of the user interface, but also its functioning and more aspects of application development within the ecosystem of Czech mobile app industry. The theoretical part of my thesis subjectively describes fundamental concepts from the mobile app development field and theories related to the topic. Empirical part of the study is based on qualitative interviews with 9 Czech mobile app developers and following thematic analysis. This study can serve as an interesting resource of understanding of the work of Czech mobile app developers, how they think about design and Apple as a platform or as a solid foundation for further quantitative investigation to confirm or revise my findings.

Creation of Apple iPhone Applications
Ondrůj, Daniel ; Švub, Miroslav (referee) ; Žák, Pavel (advisor)
The purpose of this thesis is to create a tutorial that could help developers interested in creating new applications for Apple iPhone to pass their initial unfamiliarity with the phone, its development environment, the programming language and the use of other components of the phone. The tutorial should be helpful for readers who have at least basic knowledge of the application development. There are also some useful links for readers who have no previous knowledge of programs' development. These materials describe some basic features and then clarify the common issues in more depth. Not only does this tutorial describe the phone's features and development tools, it also explains development procedures of concrete application. The phone has been introduced with a lot of new features such as accelerometer, large touch screen, etc. Therefore the application is trying to take advantage of most of these characteristics. The motive of this application stems from the old Russian game Tetris. This document describes only the functional and graphical design, concrete implementation and the source code are included in attachments.

The aim of this thesis is to develop an iOS application, an RSS reader mobile application with some social aspects and it's publication on the App Store. This thesis can also serve as inspiration when creating similar applications for iOS devices and enclosed source code can also serve as a practical study material. There are two parts of this thesis - the theoretical part and the practical part. In the theoretical part, the reader is provided with an overview of mobile development and mobile platforms. Moreover, there are mentioned new features of iOS 8, things needed for iOS development, a brief overview of Objective-C and Swift programming languages and web syndication and RSS & Atom formats characterized. In the practical part, there is the development of the RSS reader application which is based on using Feedly cloud services. Next there is a description of the features and functionality, the user interface, some topics of implementation are tackled and there is a list of third party libraries that are used in the application. Some marketing strategies and support is described in the last few pharagraphs of this part of the thesis.

Comparison of mobile operating systems from the perspective of the development, distribution and monetization of applications
Svoboda, Tomáš ; Pavlíčková, Jarmila (advisor) ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (referee)
The subject of this thesis is to compare the most widely used mobile operating systems from the perspective of the development, distribution and monetization of applications developed for these systems. Compared systems are Android, iOS, Symbian OS, Windows Phone and BlackBerry OS. The thesis defines a total of 16 criteria against which systems are compared. These criteria are further divided into three categories, namely SDK features, functionality and distribution and monetization. All criteria have assigned weights which are determined by the paired comparison method using the Fuller's triangle, which is part of the Annexes of this work. Practical part of this thesis is focused on determining the values of defined criteria. Each criterion is evaluated separately, including an analysis of results. The overall evaluation is performed in a separate part of the thesis and is composed by categories evaluation and overall evaluation.
