Introduction to iOS Mobile Application Development

Meta begins with the iOS ecosystem and the development environment, then introduces Swift and interface work. This gives learners a view of how the language, editor and app fit together. It is an orientation and first-build course before more focused UI or data lessons.

What you will learn

• Explain the main parts of the iOS development workflow.
• Explore Xcode and Swift code.
• Connect a simple interface with app behavior.

Who this suits

Beginners with basic internet-navigation skills; earlier development experience is not required.

Before you enroll

Check the Mac, macOS and Xcode requirements before enrolling. Swift and Apple-framework APIs change, so preview the software versions used in the exercises. Publishing an app and using some cloud services have requirements beyond completing the lessons.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Create a minimal fictional app and describe what belongs to its interface, code and data before adding another screen.
