Mobile is the future (maybe even the present). If you want to capture this market, or simply benefit from all the job openings sprouting up from this boom, becoming an iOS developer is a great way to do just that.
Even though Android has a larger share of the market, Apple has built a reputation for itself with premium devices and tons of high quality apps.
You can choose between Objective-C and Swift for development, but we recommend Swift because it’s becoming mainstream while Objective-C’s usage is diminishing. You can still go through Objective-C tutorials to better understand the difference or make sense of an existing code base.
If you want to develop and publish apps for iOS and Android platforms simultaneously, using a mobile app framework like Flutter or React Native might come in handy. Your apps will share a single codebase despite having native functionality for both iOS and Android. Based on our research, we recommend Flutter.
Our experience shows that learning Git at this point is still optional. That said, we highly recommend using it in production as well as development so you can maintain the history of your code and restore anytime.
The final step will be to deploy your application. It can be a gruesome task, especially for newbies, but these resources will guide you through the process.
