It used to be Kotlin for a long while, then Flutter caught up, now Kotlin also has KMP which might take it ahead again. I think I'd pick Kotlin, if I could only choose one ☺

@@mobiledevlife thanks a lot

Impeller is the newer rendering engine, but Flutter relied on Skia for years 😁

Hey, thanks for the kind words. It depends if you want to become an AI engineer, and focus more on building models, or remain an iOS developer and just use models created by others, in your apps. I also trained some models with DarkNet / Yolo v4, but I still love mobile development more. In general, it's hard and unnecessary to build your own custom models, as there are lots of open source models out there (but maybe if you wanna implement a certain feature and you don't have a model for that, well, in that case it's necessary to build one 😅). I think there's no right answer for everyone here.

Hmm, if you have no dev background, I think it's necessary to start with some tutorials, where you're guided step by step. It's hard to just use ChatGPT from the start, you won't understand much 😅 because you need to go through the fundamentals first. Try a course like: Android Basics in Compose (search on google for this) and see how it goes.

Hey, congrats 👏 It will be a journey on which you'll learn and test multiple languages, I assume, although "network and cyber security" is not classic "software development", but it's definitely "software engineering". Ok, so AI and Mobile App Development don't always go hand in hand, but they could. Initially, any language you learn will serve you just to get used to programming, so you'll probably be taught C / C++. Languages for app development are: Swift, Kotlin, Dart, Javascript ... you don't need all, you can use just one + the corresponding framework. I think among all, Kotlin and Javascript are the most versatile. Good luck 💪

@@mobiledevlife Ok😊... thanks a lot... for replying 💞🇱🇰

@@nimeshdilshan799 Of course, you're welcome ;)

Choose Python for AI - probably the best bet. Of course, you can never go wrong with C/C++ especially if you're trying to build a reputable long-term career in software engineering.

@@VarunR-deed That's right, but a start with C/C++ might be too difficult for a beginner. I did start with C / C++, but I was a college student, and I had 4 years to go through everything 😅 for efficiency I'd recommend Python, even though I'm totally aware that this road will sacrifice some of the low-level learnings.

They serve slightly different app types and people. Flutter is good for simple apps, and if you're a beginner, especially if you want to build your own app, it's a 2 in 1 solution. Kotlin and Kotlin Multiplatform is for more complex projects, especially if you have native experience (with native iOS or Android).

@@mobiledevlife Thank you very much❤

any idea about react native and ionic mate!?​@@mobiledevlife

I briefly mentioned at the end, but I don't see it being that popular, at least in Europe and the US 🤔 where are you from?

Very promising, I have to say! 💪

You're welcome! ☺

I'll try in the next one :) For this, you can listen at 1.5x speed 😁

Thanks! 🙏

If the question is "what do I enjoy more?" then yes, Swift and native iOS 🥹 that was my "first love". However, I find them all exciting, if I'd build my own small app today I'd probably do it with Flutter, so I can have 2 apps from 1 codebase.

You're welcome, and thanks a lot for the comment! 🔥

@@mobiledevlife You’re welcome. I’ve been following you on insta for a long time and have always appreciated your content. Keep doing the good stuff :)

Thank you so much! 🫶

You can use ML models in all these technologies, but of course, the native route will give you more options and performance 🔥

Thanks a lot! 🤩 I had it on my Skool community, but it's closed for now. I'll re-open it in January and you can join then ☺ stay tuned here (or on instagram: @mobiledevlife) until then ;)

Hmm, I'm not sure I know what that is 😅 I'll look into it.

That's awesome, I wish you the best of luck! 🤩 more videos coming soon!

Thanks a lot! ☺

Thank you so much! 🤩

Honestly I never used Capacitor for a full app, it just seemed to have too many limitations, compared to native or even cross platform 😅 maybe if you need something really small, like 5 screens.

Happy to hear that, and thanks a lot! 🤩 if you have any additional questions, comment them here and I'll do my best to add clarifications.

Thanks a lot! 🥹

Thanks a lot! I'll try to, honestly I didn't think it's too popular, but I saw a few requests here ☺

@@mobiledevlife Thank you for replying (it was unexpected).. & on ground reality .NET MAUI gaining exponential popularity and also we as MAUI developers get paid more than a Flutter or React Native Developers here in India.. (Not sure about other countries) .. btw You are an inspiration for us and your videos are superb and informative.. wating for new video on any topic.. please

@@er_amanraj Thank you so much for the kind words, and of course, I'm replying to every comment 😁 same on Instagram, even if I have 101k followers there, comment replies are a must! As for MAUI, oh, I understand now, I've been told that it's in demand in India. Do you think it creates better apps than Flutter or React Native? I haven't tried MAUI so I can't tell, but Flutter and RN are quite solid 💪

@@mobiledevlife Ahhh.. I think.. it's totally depends upon the developer and their knowledge.. (and even I'm not sure) You may also right 👍🏻

@@er_amanraj Not sure about that, I think it depends on the company where the developer works 😅 because companies get clients, and build apps for them, so it definitely plays a role.

You're welcome ☺

In short, for a personal app or a startup idea, it's faster to get it done with cross-platform tech, like Flutter or React Native, these offer the best "reusability" between iOS and Android, especially if your app doesn't do anything crazy complex. I made a full breakdown about what to choose in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hauTipilqs6UhaM ☺

Thanks a lot! 🙌 From the technologies presented above, I have the least amount of actual development/implementation experience with React Native, so I haven't had the chance to integrate an identity provider on that platform yet 😅 However, I did some digging and it seems like the articles share here in the comments could help (www.reddit.com/r/KeyCloak/comments/1d1gfop/integrating_keycloak_with_reactnative/) , and I also found this library but it's quite old, so I can't guarantee 🥲 github.com/balgamat/expo-keycloak

Haha, this video was not about choosing, it was just an overview of everything ☺ Here's the one about choosing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hauTipilqs6UhaM

I know, a lot of echo, but did you try the subtitles? I manually added subtitles for the entire video! 🫶

I briefly mentioned it at the end, but I think it's still early because the iOS side is not stable. We even had some challenges with KMP alone, so I can only imagine what CMP can cause 😅

Oh, Uber is a huge app 😅 there are a lot of things involved, and if you want to build something similar, I think you need to start small with 1 core feature (like something with maps and location tracking) and then grow it. Or is it just out of curiosity?

Interesting, so then what would be something interesting that would catch your attention and seem valuable? 😇

Thanks a lot! 🤩 will do!

One of the best, for sure ;)

Thanks a lot 🫶 yes, I briefly mentioned Compose MP at the end, I think, but the reason I don't fully recommend it yet is because iOS is still in Beta and has a few inconsistencies and bugs. For a "production / client app" I think it's quite risky, at this time, but it will get better 💪

Thanks a lot! 🫶

You don't need to know Java. Its a nice to have before learning kotlin (cause its kinda similar) but you don't need it at all

Thanks a lot! 🫶 exactly as @loyaljakes said, you can start fresh with Kotlin, and that's what I recommend, you don't need to know Java ☺ good luck!

@@loyaljakes Thanks for adding that, I totally agree and I'd recommend starting directly with Kotlin as well ✨

@@loyaljakes Thanks a lot

@@mobiledevlife Thanks ❤️

Thanks a lot! 😊

They've been around for a while, at some point they seemed like "the next big thing", but their capabilities and UX are limited. Sure, instead of just having a web app through a browser, it's better to have a PWA, but there's not a big difference between them 😅 so for a smooth UX and a better app overall, I'd recommend at least a cross-platform approach with Flutter or React Native 😊

It's kind of in-between cross-platform and web apps. As I replied to someone asking about PWA, a Ionic-based app is still better than a web app, but the capabilities are limited, so the UX is not that smooth, the access to features and stability will suffer, and so on 🤔 for e-commerce apps it can work well, but in general I'd recommend at least a cross-platform approach with Flutter or React Native 👍

I mentioned it towards the end, but I didn't see it being so popular 🤔

No it should NOT

@@LitheInLitotes 😂 maybe if some .NET developers wanna try mobile, it would be easier for them, but I agree that many other alternatives are better.

It's one of the best options, yes 😁 "one of"!

Wise words, I started mobile development around the same time, and yea, only React Native was a shiny new thing but very unstable and few people paid attention. Things can change a lot in 5-10 years. AI learning is a MUST! 😅
