How to Become an
iOS App Developer:
Guide for Beginners
Introduction
As more businesses are adopting a mobile-first approach to provide a more streamlined
user experience, resulting in a surge of mobile app developers. iOS app development
has also been gaining popularity over the years. Apple’s most realistic figures show that
34 million registered developers are on iOS. But does the app market have space for
more iOS app developers? Obviously! As per stats, mobile app development is one of
the top business areas facing a skill gap.
So, how difficult is it to learn iOS development? Not as much as you might think it is! If
you’re interested in pursuing your career as an iOS developer, here’s your go-to guide.
This iOS app development tutorial will outline basic concepts, skills, and resources and
walk you through how to become an iOS app developer.
Learn iOS Development Fundamentals
The first step to becoming an iOS developer is learning iOS development
fundamentals. If you’ve been working in development for a while, you can skip this
step—but if you’re a beginner and believe it’s the industry for you, you’ll need to
understand how it works and how you’ll fit in it. You can do this by enrolling in a
beginner’s development course or reaching out to some working developers and
asking them about their jobs.
Start Learning Languages for App Development
To become an iOS app developer, you just need to know about three things:
Swift, Objective-C, and XCode. Swift and Objective-C are two primary
programming languages used to build an iOS app. And XCode is an integrated
environment built by Apple for creating applications for all iOS devices. Once
you’ve mastered these three things, you’ll be able to apply your knowledge in the
world of iOS development, expanding your skill set as needed.
Furthermore, you can learn several additional iOS Developer skills that are
virtually limitless. Other tools iOS app developers use are just ways to streamline
the development process. For example, developers use Dash for code snippets
and API documentation, Cocoapods to manage external libraries and Firebase
for the database.
Enroll in a Developer Course
Apple’s rapid year-over-year growth, along with the growing demand for new content, has
resulted in a scarcity of talent across several fields of technology, particularly iOS
Developers, and this trend is only projected to continue in the future. That high demand
for iOS app developers has resulted in competitive salaries. The more skills and
languages you learn, the more salary you can get.
There are numerous technical skills that you can learn as an iOS developer, and the
subset of those skills will depend on the type of app you create. For instance, a gaming
app will need a different skill set than an international banking app. Besides those
technical skills, you need to expand your soft skills to perform the job well.
Start Working on your Own Project
Once you understand the basics and iOS programming languages, you’re
ready to start creating apps. Follow the step-by-step instructions given in
the iOS app development tutorial to build something from scratch.
Building a mobile app includes many steps – those will vary from app to
app. In fact, steps will vary according to the level of experience of an iOS
app developer. A senior developer might involve in the research and
conceptualization phases, while a junior developer might follow one or two
phases.
