- Learn iOS development with the Stanford course (CS193p, coding together).

- Make an app or two

- Apply to remote jobs

Nobody will care about your age, having a decent app (regardless of number of downloads) in the store is enough to get an ok job at some startup or similar.

Thanks for your idea.

Unfortunately I don't have any Apple hardware. I have to check whether there is a way to do it on Linux.

Ah not really. You can learn swift on linux for sure, but none of the UI stuff. I started on a cheap Hackintosh but that might not be an option anymore.

You could do the same with Android as well. Most major apps want to support both platforms and will have needs for devs with both skill sets.
