Essential Guide for iOS Development: The Most Comprehensive Collection of iOS Development Tutorials in History

The recently popular iPhone XS Max and iPhone XS, I wonder if any of you have already gotten your hands on them? The price of 13,000 RMB does indeed make many people hesitate. It is said that in order to win over Chinese users, they specifically released a dual-SIM dual-standby version. It's no surprise that everyone wants a piece of the "fat" Chinese market.
In recent years, no matter what kind of product Apple releases or at what high price, there are always a lot of loyal Apple fans who will purchase it. The iOS system is also recognized globally as the most fluid system. More and more people are using the iPhone series products, which brings more creativity and possibilities for designers and developers, allowing them to earn more money.
As a developer who has been immersed in the iOS development community for nearly 3 years, I have encountered many detours along this path. Fortunately, there are many excellent tutorials, videos, and various iOS learning resources online, which have enabled me to independently develop an iOS app successfully. Below, I will share the 20 best iOS development learning tutorials and resources that I have found over the past 3 years. Feel free to use them as a reference, and you are welcome to add more.
Firstly, it is important to understand the iOS development languages.
There are currently two popular iOS development languages: Objective-C and Swift. The former is easier to grasp for those with a C language foundation, while the latter, Swift, is the main language for future iOS/Mac development. It excels in programming concepts and API writing. Objective-C is an object-oriented language and is very practical. Regardless of the future development of OC and Swift, the essence of learning a new language is to embrace a new way of thinking. The following will cover tutorials for both languages for you to choose from.
Secondly, it is important to know how to utilize iOS development tools.
Xcode is an essential tool for iOS development. It runs on Apple's Mac operating system and is an integrated development environment provided by Apple for developers to develop applications for Mac OS X and iOS. Xcode has a unified user interface design, and coding, testing, and debugging can all be done within a simple window. Of course, you can also use AppCode.
CocoaPods is probably the most commonly used and well-known library management tool for iOS. With CocoaPods, we can add "Pods" dependency libraries (which must be supported by CocoaPods itself) to our projects and easily manage their versions.
Mockplus is an indispensable step in app development. Perhaps you may think that this is the work of designers and has nothing to do with you. However, in order to better communicate with designers, it is necessary to learn about prototype design. And it only takes a few hours or even less time to master a simple and easy-to-use prototyping design tool. Why not give it a try?
Lastly, and most importantly, I recommend a very useful tutorial for iOS development learning tool - App Uploader.
App Uploader is an assistant tool fo
r iOS app development that helps simplify the complex and time-consuming process of submitting iOS apps to the App Store. It assists cross-platform app developers in submitting their applications to Apple without the need for a configured Mac machine. With App Uploader, you can easily handle tasks such as applying for iOS certificates, creating iOS developer certificates, iOS distribution certificates, and more, all from Windows, Linux, or Mac systems. It streamlines the iOS app submission process, allowing you to quickly and effortlessly upload your app to the App Store from any computer.
