What are the best free apps for iOS and/or Mac for developers?

I'm a first-year college student, and I'm trying to make a couple web apps and iOS apps in the next couple of years. Are there any resources I could utilize to either learn or actually start building?

    If you're just starting and exploring different ways to go about building an iOS app, consider Bubble. Bubble lets you build mobile apps for iOS, but this is in early beta. There is a bit of learning curve to understand the fundamentals of visual programming. The Bubble schema is built from things — basically tables. Programming is expressed through events in a workflow. A workflow in Bubble refers to an action (event) that can be called by an element within the app. Events have conditions expressed by boolean expressions. Hope it helps, let me know if you need any further info on this.

      Look: There’s no platform that can enable someone with no freaking clue about how to build an app to magically build one... But boy does Bubble come close.

      I love visual/no-code/alterna-code environments and have worked on several of the most famous ones. Bubble is right up there.

      I feel like this tool‘s positioning (“you don’t have to be a coder”) belies its true strength. It‘s GRRRREAAAT for those who would rather NOT code most stuff.

      I do my best to help folks out in the forums at forum.bubble.is, but wish it had a StackExhange equivalent -- it’s that deep. Love it and wish it the best. You can build awesome stuff on Bubble, but (duh) prepare to learn some computer science In the process (this is a GOOD thing)...

      An app that's more about doing something technically than paying any attention to the user or use-cases. Is just very impractical, with all the real-world features difficult to impossible. Just look at data-upload: https://forum.bubble.is/t/best-way-to-bulk-upload/1690

    It's not free, but worth the low price. Check it out. One student had the number 2 app in the world at one point.
