To build an iOS app, Apple recommends using their native SDKs, which include Swift, SwiftUI, and Xcode. These tools are designed to provide a seamless development experience across all Apple devices, allowing you to create apps with a consistent look and feel. Swift is the primary programming language for iOS development, and SwiftUI is a framework that simplifies the process of building user interfaces by focusing on the UI's description rather than the implementation details.
If you're interested in learning more about building apps with Swift and SwiftUI, you might want to check out the session titled "Platforms State of the Union" from WWDC 2024, which discusses the benefits of using Apple's native SDKs and SwiftUI for app development. You can find more information about SwiftUI in the session at this timestamp.
For those interested in cross-platform development, Apple also supports cross-compilation, allowing you to build your app on macOS and run it on other platforms, such as Linux. This is discussed in the session "What’s new in Swift," which introduces a fully static Linux SDK for Swift to facilitate cross-compilation. You can learn more about this feature at this timestamp.
If you have any specific questions about using these tools or need further guidance, feel free to ask!

What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
