It should go without saying that the Internet of Things (IoT) has become far more accessible in recent years thanks to the rise of smartphones. Devices are more powerful and the Internet more widespread than ever before, meaning more vendors are looking to find success with their own smartphone application.
There is a catch, of course, and it is that the world's favorite smartphone runs on a specific operating system that warrants extra attention. The Apple iPhone accounts for a significant chunk of active smartphones today—more than one billion worldwide—and yet its famous iOS operating system demands additional considerations from application developers.
How can you go about programming the Internet of Things with iOS? What's more, how can you build an IoT iOS app? Let's look at the five key steps to building applications for Apple audiences.
Step 1: Learn Xcode and Swift When developing an app, you need to choose whether to do it natively, hybrid or cross-platform. The best of these options—if your app is only for one operating system—is native development. This is because it lets you access OS features, such as GPS or the camera, and gives your app better performance. When developing natively for iOS, you are going to want to use the native Xcode.
