The nature of mistake is subjective to say the least. A mistake is not seen in the same light by everybody. While some might call it a minimal error of judgment, others might proclaim it to be a cardinal sin. This remains true for iPhone app Development as well. But, in this case, the enormity of the mistake is determined by the time it takes to rectify this mistake.
But herein is the problem. When it comes to iPhone app Development, if it's a coding error it can be reworked and the error can be ironed out. But, if it is an error committed because developers have misunderstood project requirements then it becomes a cardinal error as it leads to a disaster ridden project development.
Iphone Application
So, the worst mistake that iPhone developers can make is misunderstanding the client's requirements. This happens because of many reasons; either the developers were not listening properly or the client was unable to share his ideas clearly or the developers were not really interested in learning more about the project. Whatever the case maybe, starting project development without actually understanding the client's concept for the app, its purpose and objective clearly is like entering a boxing ring with both hands tied behind the back. There is no chance in the world that a person is going to win the boxing match, short of a divine intervention.
The project is doomed to fail in this scenario because developers will be unable to get a clear idea about the project requirements. This means that they are going to allocate resources that might not be aligned to the core project requirements. There can be a case wherein they will choose the wrong development platform and in turn the project will take a wholly different trajectory to what was actually expected. By the end of project development, the resultant project will be full of errors and will be something that does not meet the clients' needs and requirements in their entirety.
In order to avoid this mistake, it's of paramount importance that the developers are able to understand the needs and requirements of the client to the letter. If the client is unable to put forth his requirements in a manner that is easily understood or his own understanding of the required iPhone app is not complete, it's the developers' responsibility to flesh out the details and try to get the much needed clarity.
At the end of the day, it's the developer/s who is accused of not being able to develop the project the way it was supposed to be, so it is their duty to get it right from the word go and not make such errors.
