Have you ever felt making iOS Apps is difficult? Or you are already an iOS Developer, but you are stuck at the same tech you have been working the whole time.
Well, this happens a lot.
Doing things at first hand mostly seems complicated, but once you have done it, the next time it’s going to be a little easy.
Language
Generally, what most of the developers miss-out is the language they are using. Understanding of the language you are working on is an essential thing.
You may just start making iOS apps, and you may be doing just fine with the limited knowledge you have about the language you are using. But, just imagine there is a pool of ways to do a task with fewer lines of code and in a structured way. Wouldn’t you love to know how to achieve it?
The best companies hiring iOS Developers want you to know the basics of the language you are using.
The more understanding you have about the language, the easier it gets to move to the next step of iOS App Development.
Frameworks
There are a lot of Frameworks we deal with while making iOS apps.
Want to work with UI? UIKit
Want to read and write data? CoreData
Developing an excellent AR application? ARKit
And so many of them making our lives easy. But have you tried exploring them? (If you’re an iOS Developer).
Ever wondered how your viewDidLoad(animated:) is called automatically.
Start asking yourselves such questions. Explore everything you can get your hands on, and you will soon be answering those StackOverflow questions you felt were difficult.
Knowledge
How to gain all this knowledge?
Well, you can get some books. But most of the books we see are expensive.
You have more options like raywenderlich, hackingwithswift, swiftbysundell and the most essential one, google.
You may have plenty of reasons like you don’t get time to upgrade your knowledge. But you have to make room for it.
Being a developer is never easy. It’s a never-ending while loop.
