Easy to get started. Robust SDK. Swift language is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

XCode can be a little finicky sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The iOS SDK offers all the existing functionalities and provides access to the iPhone and iPad devices. iOS SDK along with the Xcode is an unconquerable mixture to build instinctive applications. It has a small number of multiple screen sizes that makes it simpler for the customers to choose quickly as there are limited options to pick from. iOS SDK is well-matched with the earlier versions; therefore, it enables you to fix the new version into the older one and it will still perform effectively.

The repairing system is inadequate. Many times, the repair info is inappropriate and there is no approach to catch the difficulty. One of the main disadvantages of the iOS SDK is that you are unable to modify or personalize it the way you require it when it is closed. The absolute affluence of possibilities and screens can be overwhelming at first and displays a sharp learning curve particularly to recent designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whilst there are no many different solutions to getting apps on to the various Apple devices (Unity, Corona, Codea, Xamarin, HaXe, Cocoon, Cordova etc etc) sometimes there's no getting away from the fact that if you want the best native experience, access to all the latest tools, libraries, and features then you have to go direct to the source and use the tools that were originally intended.

The debugging is still kind of broken. Sometimes the debug information is incorrect and there's really no way to find out the problem. The only disadvantage of the iOS, is that it is closed and therefore, you don’t have the ability to change or customize how you need it to look like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The iOS SDK provides all available features and accesses to the iPhone and iPad devices. In my opinion, together with Xcode this is an unbeatable combination to create native apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Apple discontinues functionalities or simply does not support them officially. The use of private APIs is then the only way but will lead you to a reject when submitting your apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What makes me interested in iOS sdk is that it has a few number of different screen sizes. This makes it easy for the buyer to make decision promptly because there are a few to choose from. Other operating system developers such as android have many screen sizes hence bringing about confusion but with iOS the sizes are standard and appropriate.

Another feature that makes me like iOS, is because it is compatible with its previous version for years back. iOS is able to be compatible with the previous version, hence when a new version is generated you can always fix it in your old version and it will still work perfectly.

The only disadvantage of the iOS, is that it is closed and therefore, you don’t have the ability to change or customize how you need it to look like. This is one of the draw backs as most of the people would want to customize the outlook of their operating system to meet their different tastes but with iOS, this is impossible.

The architecture. It's easy to understand and build a standalone app. Scales well for big apps to support millions of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode is buggy. Apple is not that transparent and responsive to bugs. Some bugs can take months to be fixed and workarounds are generally not that elegant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its well tested one with less bugs and strong sdk Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

iOS SDK is the most powerful SDK to build iOS App. Now it come with Swift programming language. Easy to learn than Objective-C. There are many resources available to start learning, but first you can follow the style of Apple's code as defined within their "The Swift Programming Language" book.

What I dislike is not about the SDK. It's about the IDE (Xcode). After Swift came to iOS programming language, Xcode crash pretty frequently. The simulator too, sometimes when I run the project it will just hang. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Over the various iterations of the OS the libraries and functionality of the Apple devices (and by extension XCode) have increased in power, scope & ease of use.

Although the addition of the higher level libraries like UI Kit, Sprite Kit, Watch Kit, Auto layout etc have increased the range of what is achievable (and what is knowable) significantly they have actually made app development (especially the simpler types of app) easier and more accessible to a wider audience.

The sheer wealth of options and screens can be initially daunting and present a steep learning curve especially to new developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy to use in combination with Xcode. The whole system is very well integrated and works seamlessly together. It is fast and easy to start developing. Apple's SDK provides so many pre-written functions to use that you can do almost every development task with it. The community is very big and supportive. A lot of external libraries have been written. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is always changing system. Which is a good thing so developers have new function to use but it is also hard to keep up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
