Does it make sense to study iOS development today?

Question

iOS

Does it make sense to study development for iOS at a time when developers from the Russian Federation are ready to be disconnected from the AppStore at any time?
Apparently, many companies expect this: there are practically no vacancies for the position of a junior at the same hh.

Answer 1

Today we are ready, tomorrow we are not ready, the day after tomorrow we are ready again.
No one knows the future for sure, so no one can give a definitive answer.
Look, the dollar was also prophesied that it would skyrocket, but it didn’t even go beyond 200, and now it’s already completely below 80. However, no one knows for sure what will happen tomorrow: maybe it will still take off, or remain at the current level (plus or minus), or even fall below the plinth. Why not?

Answer 2

And what are the alternatives? Other programming languages ​​are also tied to Western equipment. Whether Apple will leave the Russian market, whether it will block developers and sold phones - no one knows (I suspect even the management of Apple), so no one will answer the question exactly.
Lower probability of leaving the Android market with HMS (Huawei Mobile Services).
The probability of leaving the market 1C is even lower. Here, on the contrary, only an increase in demand is expected, why not go in this direction?
Seriously, I have already written this more than once, at the initial stages of work, changing the development language is quite easy, at senior positions and above it is already more difficult, since there is an accumulated baggage of templates, but even in this case nothing is impossible, thanks to new languages ​​and frameworks also appear frequently. So if you like iOS development - learn. If you just want to earn money - learn Java, this knowledge is more widely applicable.

Answer 3

There were not so many of them even before the crisis, last year for all of Moscow there was one vacancy for Junior Ios developer for 70,000 per month
