April 1, 1976, marked the beginning of Apple Computer Inc., now known as Apple Inc, the world’s most valuable company and first American company to be valued over $1 trillion. What started as a small project in a garage by a group of three people including steve jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, has become an enormous giant with 137,000 full-time employees. Not only, this is a dream company for almost every engineer, marketer, and software developer.
So, if you also dream of working in the same field, creating new iOS applications, then you need to be familiar with iOS app prototyping and the most common programming languages that could help you write beautiful looking code to develop responsive iOS applications. So here is how you can learn to build iOS apps' best languages.
There are very few modern programming languages that could help you build an iOS application. Some of them are mentioned below:
Objective – C
Developed in 1984 by Tom Love and Brad Cox in 1984, objective C is the primary language for iOS app development, before apple launched its own official language in 2014. Objective C is not a programming language specifically developed for iOS development, on the contrary, it is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. It adds some high-level features to the very basic C language, some of the notable features including the object passing, message passing, classes, and instance, etc. Before 2014, objective C was very important and highly valuable for iOS operating system development and of course, iOS app development. Well, it’s not like it is completely discarded, you can still develop a highly functional iOS application using this language.However, we would highly recommend you to first learn the basics of C language as objective C inherits form most of the programming syntax, primary data types, or primitive data types such as int, float, double, char, etc, and flow of control statements. Keep in mind that when you are done with C, you will only need to learn the basics of object-oriented programming and how dynamic run time works.
Swift
Swift is the primary and the official language for the iOS app development and operating system. It was developed and launched by Apple Inc in 2014. By, 2015 the language was made open source, which is available for everyone, under the Apache License 2.0. Apart from the iOS application development, swift is also the official language for Apple’s macOS, tvOS, and watchOS as well.Unlike its predecessor objective C, Swift is a modern language, supporting all the needs of the modern world developers. Swift is here for almost 6 years now, however, it was only 2 years back when swift gained the status of the most popular language for IOS development. So, if you want to learn iOS application development, we would highly recommend using swift. It's open-source, you won’t have to pay a single nickel to use it, unlike other Apple products. Apart from this apple also provides well-written documentation for developers to get started with swift.
C#
Developed by Andres Hejlsbert at Microsoft and launched in 2000. C# is one of the most versatile, flexible, object-oriented, open-source programming languages. It is considered as one of the most versatile languages as C# can be implemented in a number of practical applications including Windows clients, consoles, Web applications, mobile applications both iOS and Android, and other support/service backend systems and applications.C# is one of the most popular languages for developers who prefer cross-platform development. Xamarin is often used with VisualStudio to compile to code for native iOS applications and Android binaries. Hence allowing the developers to write code for both iOS and Android in one go.
Python
It is one of the most popular programming languages as of now. It was created by guido van Rossum in 1991, and have received multiple updates ever since then, python 3.8.1 is the latest version. It is a general-purpose open-source programming language and has a number of libraries for developers to work with. The large of encoded libraries, module, and the huge community makes python one of the most powerful programing language.You can also use python to develop iOS applications using a technology called PyMob™, which complies your python codes into native source code for each platform or language such as Objective C, C#, etc. Other than this iOS library, functions, and other backend processes can easily be developed using Python.
C++
C++ is one of the oldest and one of the most popular programming languages. It was created by Bjarne Stroustrup. C ++ was created as an extension of its parent version that is C. It introduced the ability to create classes and easy dynamic memory allocation using vectors. C ++ is majorly used in building OS processes, APIs, and other backend systems. There are a number of C ++ libraries available for iOS developers, that can be utilized in iOS applications.HTML With CSS
HTML is a simple markup language, however, when used in combination with cascade sheet styling or CSS, then it can be a powerful tool that can be used to create hybrid iOS applications. Well, these applications are not native and do not run on iOS operating systems, rather they use the browser to act as web applications as native web apps.
