Dos and Don’ts for iOS Mobile Commerce App Development

By launching Touch ID as an added layer of security to third-party apps, Apple is all set to rule the mobile payments space. Additionally, according to a recent IBM study, while iOS users were reported to spend $127.92 per order on Black Friday last December, Android users spent only about $105.20 per order. Thus Apple’s mobile payment platform may prove to be a game-changer for developers.
