iOS application development is the process of making mobile applications for Apple hardware, including iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The software is written in the Swift programming language or Objective-C and then deployed to the App Store for users to download.

Powering a large portion of the western world’s mobile experience, Apple’s iOS is the second-largest mobile operating system in the world in terms of users. It makes sense to build your app to take advantage of this profitable mobile ecosystem, but it’s also an excellent candidate due to how versatile it is with a wide range of devices it supports. iOS is available on iPhone and iPad devices, allowing apps to be accessed on both phones and tablets. The iOS platform offers Apple’s App Store to connect mobile users with your app through search functions, categories and promotional content from Apple such as “Editor’s Choice” awards. If you create a quality app that has real demand and takes the effort to distribute it and market it in the App Store, it’s fair to say you are on your way to getting customers using your app. All of this combines together to create a mobile ecosystem that facilitates distributing and monetizing your mobile app, making iOS a great choice for a development platform.
