Being open-source, anyone can obtain the code. Programmers can also build or contribute back to language development.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compatibility with Ubuntu\u2019s Linux has existed since Swift 2.2. The 5.2.4 version saw accessibility with CentOS and Amazon Linux.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The iPad-only app titled <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/swift\/playgrounds\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swift Playgrounds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> appeared worldwide in 2016. It had a 3-D-video game-like interface. The aim was to teach beginners how to code with Swift.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Use of Swift Programming Language in Popular Apps<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swift has an efficient coding style. With Apple&#8217;s significant market share, iOS app development with Swift is trending worldwide. Several major organizations are already using Swift for developing iOS apps and improving their operations. The most widely used ones include Facebook, Whatsapp, LinkedIn, Kickstarter, Airbnb, Uber, Accenture, Khan Academy, Twitter, CNN, Instagram, Truecaller.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dynamic libraries present in Swift guarantees superior app performance. Quicker loading and lower storage space result in an extremely useful environment for mobile app development. Here are some additional popular apps that incorporated Swift iOS app development:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>WordPress:<\/strong> The iOS version of the WordPress app is open-source in nature. Users can handle their WordPress blogs or websites directly from their iPhone(or any other Apple device). Available functions include creating\/editing posts and pages. The user can also view the stats or respond to comments.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Mozilla Firefox:<\/strong> The iOS version of our beloved explorer was built using the Swift language. It is widely used all over the world. A perfect browser for users who prioritize safety and privacy.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Wikipedia:<\/strong> The world\u2019s largest online encyclopedia uses Swift. The app version is fully functional. Users can search results through a database consisting of over 40 million articles. There are more or less 300 languages.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Future Scope of Swift Programming Language<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">77% of US citizens own a smartphone. And the iPhone holds over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/chart\/22702\/andoid-ios-market-share-selected-countries\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50% of the market in the US<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Market research and statistics suggest the trend will continue. Billions of smartphone units are manufactured and shipped across borders on an annual scale. A gigantic change in internet usage habits and media-viewing patterns is easy to see. Most people use smartphones nowadays.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The app development sector is a potential treasure cave. For app-owners, it makes sense to generate revenue through in-app advertising. Reports estimate in-app advertisement will continue growing at a staggering CAGR of 19.4% from 2019 to 2025. The valuation has been predicted to rise to $201 billion by 2021. Apple is the second-largest worldwide mobile manufacturer. Thus the sky is practically the limit for Swift developers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Key features of the language:<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern cross-platform language with a lightweight syntax.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open-sourced and works both on Apple iOS and Linux.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple tool integration features.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low maintenance, simple and reliable.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safe and secure coding environment.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playground mode for creative experimentation.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super-fast LLVM compiler technology for quicker execution.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concise readability.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Why should you pursue iOS development with Swift?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim of Swift app development was to remove complexity. Many programmers suggest- Swift\u2019s ease permits usage even by absolute beginners. The primary reasons for its growing popularity include the following:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/benefits-of-swift.png\" alt=\"benefits of swift\" class=\"wp-image-20579\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"422\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20422%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"benefits of swift\" class=\"wp-image-20579 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/benefits-of-swift.png\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>1<\/span><b> Better readability and syntax<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concise syntax is a huge plus. A compact set of rules, regulations, and framework is a breeze to work with. Swift also has a preference for skipping semicolons at line ends or brackets for conditional statements. Swift Codes are analogous to traditional English texts. This makes coding simpler- saving up a lot of time.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>2<\/span><b> Low maintenance<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Programmers report higher levels of efficiency in Swift. It merges Objective-C header(.h) with implementation files (.m) to form a single-code file (.swift). Swift is not dependent on other programming databases.&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>3<\/span><b> Lower chances of error<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a much lower chance of coding or compiling error. Swift does provide better safety and security. Plus, the feedback loops are also shorter. All of these combine to make Swift the best option for mobile iOS app development. Swift also bestows the users with advanced error tracking options that allow programmers to view the possible errors in their code straight away.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>4<\/span><b> The interactive Playground&nbsp;<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The innovative Swift Playground allows programmers to check out any coding algorithm without completing the entire app. The inline code execution feature in iOS facilitates the development of a chunk of code, process, and display the feedback in return. This process is known as REPL(Read-Eval-Print-Loop). With data visualization assistance, the Playground feature allows the room to be creative and experiment along the way. It also has the potential to improve potential coding speed. A standout interactive feature indeed.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>5<\/span><b> High Speed<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In speed, Swift edges out over other programming languages. Absolute coding ease also results in lower developmental costs. For the same program, Swift displays output 3.9 times faster than Python. It is also quicker than Objective-C. The app logic works at a much faster speed and is comparable to C++. The industry veteran is widely lauded for its terrific speed.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>6<\/span><b> Open Source Cross-Platform<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An open-sourced platform, Swift does not cost a single cent. There are additional open-source perks, including effortless code upgrades. It is possible to track bugs or make an email list. The scope of customization based on your needs is endless. Apple encourages contributions from the programmer community. It also makes periodic updates as per feedback.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Swift Vs Objective C<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The constantly-evolving Swift is successfully replacing its predecessor, Objective-C. Several programmers find Objective-C too complicated. Let us take a look at how Swift becomes a clear winner in the comparison.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing an Objective C iPhone app is cumbersome and time-consuming compared to Swift.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on C, Objective C is difficult to learn and understand. In the case of Swift, it&#8217;s the exact opposite.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Objective C has a unique syntax, unlike any other. Swift combines the positive aspects of Python, JS, Ruby, Go, and more.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The code length of a Swift program is much shorter. It is also more lucid and rational.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swift boasts of an interactive app-development environment. Objective C doesn&#8217;t have any.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swift syntax and construction are more secure.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is greater scope for error adjustment in Swift. Objective C does not feature visualization.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swift is optimized for Linux OS-usage(and possibly Android in the future). Objective C is reserved only for Apple.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though well-developed, Objective C has been missing updates for a long time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Cons of using Swift Programming Language<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each and every programming language has its merits and demerits. While there are several advantages of the Swift programming language- critics might find a few issues with it. Let us have a go through the cons of the Swift language:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>A newcomer in the world of programming language<\/b><br><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It must not be forgotten that Swift is a new programming language. The other standalone option, like Objective-C, has been present since the 1980s. There is still plenty of room for improvement- which thankfully is provided periodically by Apple through each update. Recent updates include ABI stability, backward compatibility, renewed documentation.<\/span><\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Limited Pool of Skilled Personnel<\/b><br><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As expected from a new language- the number of members in the Swift community is still low. StackOverflow Developer Survey states that only 6.6% of its respondents dabble in Swift.<\/span><\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Non-compatible with previous iOS versions<\/b><br><br><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swift is compatible only with iOS version 7 and afterward. It is not possible to use Swift for legacy products. However, studies state less than 5% of current Apple devices running on versions preceding the iOS7.<\/span><\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/services\/hire-ios-app-developers?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=ios-development-with-swift-apples-programming-language-of-the-future-cta1\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Inline-cta-17.png\" alt=\"Create feature-rich iOS apps by hiring our iOS app development experts.\" class=\"wp-image-24564\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20150%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Create feature-rich iOS apps by hiring our iOS app development experts.\" class=\"wp-image-24564 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Inline-cta-17.png\"><\/figure><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Recent Swift 5 Updates<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>i<\/span><b> Application Binary Interface(ABI) Stability<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final developed app will not require additional app-related files or library download. The majority of these are already components of the Apple device software. ABI stability will result in better development of future apps, along with a smaller size. In simple words, it helps programmers to understand the correspondence between codes that have already gone through the compiler.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>ii<\/span><b> Library Updates<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been several standard library feature updates in the Swift 5 from its predecessor, the Swift 4.2. Enhanced Raw Text Support, UTF-8 encoding updates are a few present in Swift 5.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>iii<\/span><b> Upgraded Package Manager<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Featured updates include changes in the dependency mirroring. Library import features through REPL are now possible with just the swift run command.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading subtitle-list\"><span>iv<\/span><b> Additional Updates<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Swift 5 also features several improvements in language and compiler updates. It is now possible for the user to exclusively access the memory for debugging or checking the release build. The function responsible is known as Exclusivity Enforcement by default.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope that the information provided in the post was helpful.
