6 Ways to Master iOS Development

[@linux19]

I have been a full time iOS dev for almost four years. I wish I had this video years ago. All truth. Especially the team is more important than the pay! Thanks Sean always great stuff!

[@seanallen]

Thanks for validating the ideas! These are all things I wish I learned early in my career as well.

[@JohelSouza]

Newbie here. Me! Thx for sharing!

[@Wentris71]

Who would u advise to watch else, for swift and ios dev? Thx

[@sebastianf9503]

This video has come up at the best time in my life right now. I really need this. Right now I’m in a position where I feel stuck, I’ve completed 26 days on hacking with swift but also feel the need to reinforce my learning with something else, to experiment and make mistakes over and over again and not just watch the video tutorials as time goes. Your approach on practicing apple frameworks with little projects and reading apple design guidelines has resonated with me. I’m going to start putting that in practice.

Could you cover the Swift vs Flutter question or Swift vs Other for app developers who are starting out? If you're starting out and want to learn app development is starting out with Swift vs Flutter for example the right way to go?

[@seanallen]

This depends on what you want to do. If you want to be an expert in the Apple ecosystem and develop apps for all Apple devices (iPhone, mac, vision pro, etc...) then go with swift. If you want to be a general mobile developer and developer for both iOS and android, then go with Flutter. There's no single right answer. Both can work, it just depends on the path you want to take.

While the content wasn't exactly what I was looking for (not your fault, I'm not yet 100% sure what I'm looking for), the dive into the video right away made me think that it was going to be foreshadowing and soon the intro would start. Boy was I wrong. We're so not used to videos actually telling us what we want to know right away that we'r surprised when it happens. Thank you for respecting everyone's time and attention span! Love it

[@seanallen]

I try to avoid as much fluff as I can. Glad you liked it!

[@borto_ale]

Straight to the point. Thank you Sean!

[@muzikjay]

Thank you so much for getting straight into the material and respecting our time! Will definitely look for your videos first when it comes to educational iOS content moving forward.

[@seanallen]

I appreciate you noticing that. I do my best to make my videos as concise as possible while still being valuable. Glad you enjoy it!

[@BrayanRuiz-m3w]

Hi Sean do you think getting into mobile dev is worth it now days ? I don't see many jobs out there. any advise

[@VladislavVaz]

can someone help me please .. i have a SWIFTUI application with a flow as follows: A(landscape orientation)->B(landscape)-C(portrait)->D(portrait). How do I achieve the portrait lock in swiftUI. i tried the .onAppear{} and .onDisappear{} method.. (firstly it is no longer available on ios 16 and secondly it gives a choppy animation where the view does not expand fully to take the new rotated screen size; there is white space after it rotates)

[@JasonMitchellAZ]

Great tips, as always!

[@seanallen]

Thanks Jason!

I am one of your followers, and I paid attention to the current video, and I had reviewed a previous video of yours. I wanted to say that you are now much better, and your words are clear (about speaking speed) if I compare it to previous videos ... In any case, I would like to thank you for the previous videos, and thank you for your video's modern value.

[@seanallen]

I like to think I'm improving over the years :)

[@nikolamilicdev]

​@@seanallenWhile on this topic, I think maybe tweaking the audio could be a way to even more improve quality of your videos. Not that anything is too critical with the audio, but I notice a certain bass echo or some kind of reverb when listening at full volume. I am not an audio expert but I think maybe you can check this with mic check (google 'adobe mic check' and play around with it) or some light audio tweaks in post prod. In essence, I think audio could be a bit more podcast-like (clearer) if that makes sense. Cheers!

At this point I'm willing to take a bit less money to get better teammates, so I hear you. I wish there was someone like you doing Android videos. All the content I can find is hard to understand because people don't enunciate, your teaching style is superior, and I really want to be cross-functional. I'm having a much harder time teaching myself Kotlin / Android because of the dearth of practical training done with adequate production values.

[@seanallen]

I appreciate the kind words :). I've only worked in the Apple ecosystem so no Android stuff from me.

[@michaelschafferAT]

My problem is that I've been dealing with Swift and SwiftUI for 3 years. I have a business since the beginning of the year and have several of my own apps, especially as references in the store. But I still didn't get an order or alternatively found a job. Since Swift is not currently in demand in Vienna. ☹ I've currently put everything back and learn Python or JAVA and backend programming. Even though I love Swift / SwiftUI and everything that goes with it. 😢

The hard truth of mobile development

[@jaylensmith6308]

I think one of my favorite frameworks is MapKit.

[@awais.fayyaz]

Thanks. Would be great if it was time stamped.

[@ChildishKevino]

Sean Allen, you are a good person

[@seanallen]

Glad you liked it!

[@noon310]

LEARN Reactive programming RXSWIFT or COMBINE.

[@ambymbayi]

Amazing. Always inspiring and making me a better developer🍏📱

[@in2minutesorless64]

Hey Sean, great video. Maybe you can do a video about all the best Indie Developers who share their work on X.... It would be greatly appreciated! Tx

[@seanallen]

Great suggestion!

[@ayberkmogol]

First! (Never did this before 😅)

[@seanallen]

Lol, there's a first time for everything.

[@VladislavVaz]

can someone help me please .. i have a SWIFTUI application with a flow as follows: A(landscape orientation)->B(landscape)-C(portrait)->D(portrait). also when I navigate back from C to B it should turn back to landscape as B is in landscape. (I am using NavigationLink in my application to navigate)How do I achieve the portrait lock in swiftUI. i tried the .onAppear{} and .onDisappear{} method.. (firstly it is no longer available on ios 16 and secondly it gives a choppy animation where the view does not expand fully to take the new rotated screen size; there is white space after it rotates)
