Swift & Objective C Programmers

Developing an iOS application is much more intense and arduous than simply pressing a few buttons before going live. Selecting the ideal programming language for the future of any app is a crucial step our team of experienced Swift Objective C Programmers takes to ensure the outcome of your finished product is capable of true success, especially in the ever-changing world of application development. Understanding both Objective-C and Swift languages along with the pros and cons of each is essential to find the programming team that is best for your future endeavors.

Swift and Objective C Programming

Objective-C is a general programming language that was developed from the classical “C” language, utilized for Apple’s iOS and Mac OS X. It is a widely popular object-oriented language, and includes encapsulation, polymorphism, data hiding, and inheritance as its core foundation, solidifying it as an object-oriented language. While Swift, on the other hand, is also a general purpose programming language for iOS, it is also considered multi-paradigm and is showing increasing usage within the app market due to its simplistic nature that still allows for beautiful, engaging, and compact creations.

Swift vs. Objective-C

While Swift is a great language to help boost total memory function within your app’s code, many APIs are still using C, which makes Objective-C a useful and seamless language to integrate into many projects, even if the coding is a bit more strenuous to check and verify at each corner. Currently, Swift can be used on iOS 7+, Mac OS 10.9+, WatchOS, and tvOS, whereas Objective-C must be used for any versions lower than 7+ and 10.9 (which should be considered before making your decision).
