To create an app for iOS, you need to follow the same steps as for Android: launch the project, get to know your audience and develop the idea.
Next, configure a new application project in Xcode. You'll need to download it from the Apple App Storethen open it on your computer to create a development project.
Unlike Android, where all you have to do to create an application is program in languages like Java and Kotlin, IOS has its own programming language called Swift.
