Development for Apple’s mobile operating system primarily utilizes Swift and Objective-C. These serve as the foundational tools for creating applications that run on iPhones, iPads, and other devices within the ecosystem. For example, a developer building a social media client or a game for the App Store would rely heavily on these languages and associated frameworks.
Proficiency in these technologies unlocks access to a vast user base and a mature app marketplace. Their adoption has fostered innovation and enabled creation of user-friendly, high-performance applications. Historically, Objective-C paved the way for modern mobile development, and Swift then evolved to improve aspects such as safety, performance, and developer experience.
