Cab Forward takes a technical approach to building apps for the iPad. The first development phase must include the deployment of open source technology such as Swift. This is a programming language that is supposed to make up the bulk of the framework of any device that's designed by Apple. Swift is fully compatible with the iPad, iPhone and iPod. This language comes with an open source label that enables developers to play around with commands in a virtual sandbox. Cab Forward is also very strict when it comes to testing its apps for performance. Once the apps are upload to the iTunes store, they have to be properly managed. Every year, Apple publishes new software that includes plenty of advanced features for the company's mobile gadgets. Therefore, iPad apps have to be compatible with the latest versions of the iOS platform, which gets updated on a regular schedule by Apple.
