Does it make sense to start learning development for ios or android without strong programming skills?

Question

Mobile development

Now I am a 1st year student. Interested in further development for ios or android ... I have 2 questions:
1) Of the languages, I only know C minimally. Is it realistic for me to learn java / Objective-C with my knowledge and get into all this? If not, what should we look for next?
2) Android is java and android studio, ios is Objective-C and Xcode + MacBook and + iphone (if I understood everything correctly);
With the latter, the trouble is, because I don’t have a MacBook or iphone. If I start learning all the subtleties under android, will there be any difficulties with the transition to ios?

Answer 1

Do you think programmers are born? Everyone studies on their own, programming skills are not initially invested in anyone, I'm talking about your question - Is it realistic for me to study java / Objective-C with my knowledge and climb into all this? - REAL
Even if you don't know any programming language and you are 30 years old
If you know the principles of programming languages, it will not be difficult to switch from one to another.

Answer 2

You are in your first year, at this age you can not only learn to write under ios, but go to surgeons.
ios = Objective-C or swift and Xcode + Mac and + iphone or ipod or ipad.
The emulator is a good thing, but applications on devices and in the emulator look different. The emulator does not have a camera and a gyroscope.
And in general, have you been banned in Google? Everything has been chewed up there for a long time

Objective-C is exactly the same high-level language as C++, and Java, and C#, only with its own ideas and partially different syntax. The main thing is to understand the principle of OOP, classes, and there will be no problems. You don't need an iPhone, Xcode comes with an emulator, and to install on a real device, you'll need a developer account (like $100 a year).
And yes, I limited myself to mac mini, which is much cheaper than a MacBook. Connect the monitor, keyboard and go.
