Where to start developing applications for iOS?

Question

iOS

Hello!
I am a web developer with good experience.
I want to start developing. I want to start writing applications for iOS. There are a few questions:
1) What languages ​​can be used for iOS?
2) Are there frameworks?
3) What is the best development environment to use?
4) And can all this be done on windows, linux?

Answer 1

one). ObjC/C, Xamarin(C#). Personally, I wrote only in Objective-C and a little on these, so I can’t tell you about Xamarin.
2). There is a huge library of third -party code CocoaPods .
3). For native ObjectiveC, there are two options:
- Xcode - nowhere without it. Convenient, functional, but a little buggy, at least new versions.
- AppCode - IDE from JetBrains with all the consequences. Good, convenient, but you can not edit the interface. Requires Xcode.
4). No, only macOS. You can put it on a virtual machine if you want to try it, but it takes a lot of resources.
