Best pathway to becoming iOS dev (lemmy.world)

I am intermediate in terms of learning coding and problem-solving etc. Worked with Swift a bit and I know all the fundamentals, I'm thinking Swift and the actual Xcode and Design stuff need to be learned seperatly or at once together

Best pathway to becoming iOS dev

Be rich. Buy Apple iPhone, Apple Mac, Apple Developer subscription. Put together app, upload app. Done.

The Mac might be required, but you could use the emulator until you're ready to try on a real device.

You can get away with an Intel Mac Mini, and the iPhone 6.

They're already practicing swift code so they have a Mac, probably an iPhone too if that's the dev they're looking for. The dev licence is not that expensive.

To add to your point: I’m 9 years into dev work. I’ve never bought a license. I build with the simulator, or I build onto my phone. You only need the license if you put an app into the App Store, and that’s further than the stage OP is in.
