Design and Develop an iOS App

In Design and Develop an iOS App, you’ll utilise and apply Apple tools such as UIKit, and apply iOS Human Interface Guidelines. You’ll learn how to build layouts, workflows navigation hierarchies, and views in order to scope, design, and develop your own app. In 2021, Statistica shared hat iOS owns 24.47% market share of the mobile operating system, and that trend continues to rise. 

This course includes three designated app builds in weeks 6, 8, and 12. Each app build will be accompanied by a webinar that will be dedicated to working through solutions for these app builds.

Developed in collaboration with Apple.

Our Design and Develop an iOS app course is ideal for:

• Early-to-mid career IT professionals looking to upskill and future-proof their career with skills in app development. Potential roles you may be in, but are not limited to, include a technical help-desk consultant, IT support, service desk officer, UX designer, data analyst, systems analyst, computer repairer, or QA tester.
• Entrepreneurs or hobbyists looking to create an app to support their service or business. This also includes enthusiasts who want to develop an app as a personal interest.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to: 

• Produce error-free code in the iOS Swift language
• Create an app using the Xcode environment
• Create an app using the Model View Controller pattern
• Use AutoLayout for app consistency
• Design and prototype an app to user specifications
• Document code to explain app features
• Create an app that incorporates logic
• Create an app that allows data to be input, updated, and stored between user sessions

For the final project of this course, you can choose from one of two choices:

• Bring your own app idea to create (subject to mentor approval)
• Work on a provided weather app project that displays the current weather conditions.

For Design and Develop an iOS App, we recommend that you have completed iOS App Development Foundations, or are able to:

• Write, run, and debug basic Swift code, using operators, control flows, strings, and functions
• Produce code that changes states to transition between views
• Document code to explain app features
• Create simple apps using the Xcode environment

This course has been designed to be taken as part of a two-course iOS App Development with Swift bundle (save 10% when you do both courses). We recommend that you have taken iOS App Development Foundations prior to this course or have the prerequisite skills (see 'How it works').
