iOS Future

Question

Was my decision of choosing native iOS development good? How is the market? are the opportunities limited? Should I switch to web development(No interest tho) or should I learn android also for being more versatile.

Need Advice :)

Look into AR / VR development, probably uses a lot of the same paradigms as iOS dev esp if you build for the Vision Pro

AR / VR numbers were going up last year: https://www.levels.fyi/blog/2023-mid-year-report.html

I'd say stick to native iOS. It's not going anywhere and there will always be a need of native mobile developers. That's not true for startups though.

Would definitely look into AR. You skillset would help with that and there aren't very many people who are specialized in that yet

You'll be fine in iOS, but a lot more companies are using cross platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter. It might be worth picking up on these if you consider the startup route. Big companies will always need iOS engineers though, and always more iOS than Android in my opinion.

I think the way to differentiate is to learn more specific things in iOS, whether thats animation UX or interfacing with the new local ML models it can help you go deeper and really understand the OS and platform which can lock you in as a great developer.
