You must use the Xcode platform to develop iOS apps, on the next version that is now available on the beta release, Xcode 4 also supports C++. It is also now possible to use OCaml for developing iOS applications.
Is it easy to develop iOS apps?
Apple’s IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for both Mac and iOS apps is Xcode. It is free and you can download it from Apple’s site. It is supposedly much easier to work with and use, so if you are totally new to iOS development it is a good place to start. Apart from this, the iOS Developer Community is flourishing with a lot of accessible free-floating knowledge that is shared between resources.

iOS App Development Process
Usually, there are five main phases in an app development cycle.
- Planning Phase – Before launching an app, it is important to have a clear focus: what challenges does the mobile app solve, who is the target audience, what features to include, and so on. Besides, it is important to carry out comprehensive market research to ensure the app would be competitive in its market or market niche. The planning phase also includes arranging all the requirements needed in the subsequent phases of the app development process.
- Design Phase – In this phase, the design team comes up with the user interface and user experience, that is, the looks, feel, and navigation. The design is then carried over to mobile app developers.
- Development Phase – This phase of the app development process flow involves creating a functional app from the existing design.
- Testing Phase – When the development is finished, it is obligatory to test the application. QA engineers review the app to make sure it functions seamlessly and has no bugs.
- App Launch & Maintenance – Once the app is tested and reviewed by the client, it can be launched release to market. However, this does not end the app development process steps since every application requires continued maintenance and needs to be updated often to address the quickly changing customer demands. So, this phase simply marks the beginning of another development cycle.

iOS app development tools and technologies refer to a diverse set of tools and programming languages that are used to develop apps for iPhone and iPad devices alike. The tools and technologies are specific to each task involved in iPhone and iPad app development. The tasks include wireframing, design, development (creating code with programming languages), and testing, while the app submission is a post-development task, which does not require the use of any tools.
Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE), which contains a suite of software development tools developed by Apple for building software or app for iOS and OS X.
