I'm curious. What are the tools/frameworks that you use for your work on Distributed systems(?) ?

I guess you most likely will need an Apple device. Otherwise, potential headaches.

You're absolutely right. My answer was a bit broad. My question was very general because I'm a novice and I don't know what I don't know (so to speak). I want to see if there's a general consensus on an aspect of iOS development that brings frustration. Figure out the pitfalls and what not.

By the way, thanks for sharing. I agree 100% with UI being a pain. On the other hand, I still don't have much experience with synchronizing data since most of my projects have been with static data.

In addition, I agree that money is one (or the only) end goal but I guess that's true for any career. I think if I had asked "How do I make tons of money with iOS development?" I would've gotten little answers. LOL. It's very difficult and the ones making the cash probably don't want their competition knowing.

I just published my first app. It isn't very good. I still consider myself in the learning process. What I find the most difficult is the UI/UX creation. How about you? What's the hardest thing about iOS development?

True...ASO...more non-programming concepts to understand as an indie developer.

Yeah. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the provisioning stuff.

That makes a lot of sense. I guess work is never done since iOS is always being updated.
Re:Missing XCode UI Elements on Sunday August 09, 2015 @01:03AM (#10029545)
Thanks you for your reply. It makes sense what you said. Although, I just want to clarify that I'm not only talking about visual elements. There's also UI elements for the purpose of presenting the data in different ways -- for example, Collection Views vs Table Views. Again, checkboxes and dropboxes were just arbitrary examples.

My goal is to try to fill avoid while continuing to learn Swift programming with a fun project. Thanks.

Missing XCode UI Elements

Hello, I'm learning Swift in my spare time. Still pretty new at it (so forgive my ignorance in advance). Anyhow, I'm trying to build a library of custom UI controls in Swift. I know there are open-source projects out there but I'm trying to build something from scratch myself.For example, I've used Visual Studio in the past and I wish there were Checkboxes, perhaps Dropboxes, ViewBoxes (which...

Is there an affordable Library of UI elements for iOS development?

Hello,I’m new to iOS development and I’m excited to start learning with the new Swift language. The language seems straightforward. Unfortunately, I’m the worst at creating good looking UIs with fancy animations for my apps. I’m doing my apps on the side and don’t have all day to code them.I work as a Microsoft .Net programmer and the company that I work for uses Telerik to build their pretty...
