iOS App Development: How To Make Your First App;

  • Apple's smartphone OS running on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch hardware is iOS. Apple offers tools and services for developing iOS apps and accessories for these computers.
  • You can use React Native (JavaScript) or Xamarin (C# & F#) as an iOS developer to program in native languages like Swift or Objective-C or build native cross-platform applications.
  • In this article, we'll explore how to build iOS apps. We're going to look at how you can learn to develop an iOS application and play with existing apps.
  • As with learning something new, learning to build iOS is difficult. Although, It is enjoyable, exciting, and satisfying!

Here's what we'll get into;

  1. Setup your MAC for ios app development
  1. Setup, up your editor for the ios application
  1. Create your first ios app
  1. Run the ios application

1. Setup your MAC for ios app development;

  • Apple prefers a closed ecosystem over an open system. iOS can only be run on Apple's own devices, including the iPhone and iPad.
  • We can run Mac on window machines using VMWare or Hackintosh, but these are not recommended for iOS coding purposes. So basically, as an iOS developer, you will need a Mac for the development/debugging/testing of an iOS app.

2. Setup, up your editor for the ios application;

  • To start developing iOS apps, Xcode is the only tool you need to download. Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE) provided by Apple. It includes the iOS SDK (Software Development Kit), a source code editor(UI), debugging tools, and much more.
  • Many helping tools and needed simulators with a particular iOS version can be installed and added to Xcode. You will need to have an Apple ID to download Xcode, deploy your app to a real iPhone/iPad for testing, and download any other software from AppStore.

3. Create your first ios app;

  • Now click and launch Xcode. Choose create a new Xcode project option to make a new project. Then choose the Single View App option as a type of the project and click Next. It will come with one view controller and a storyboard that you can customize further.
  • Let's name your project HelloWorld as per the convention. Choose Team None for now. Select Swift as Language, click Next, and you are ready with your empty app doing nothing yet.

4. Run the ios application;

Select the device destination or simulator from the Xcode screen's top left near the Run/Stop button. And press Command ⌘ + R to run the app or click the run button. It will initiate the iOS simulator and run your first app.
