Adventures of an Android Developer in iOS Land
summary
Mac is required and Xcode should be downloaded from developer.apple.com/downloads and installed by hand; when a repo uses CocoaPods open the RunKeeper.xcworkspace not the .xcodeproj. Xcode pain points include brittle autocomplete, refactor rename only since Xcode 9, and a gluey brace match fix (double‑click) until Xcode 10 code folding. Prefer Swift but use a bridging header and import Project‑Swift.h to call Swift from Objective‑C. Storyboards produce inscrutable generated XML, cause merge conflicts; provisioning profiles list device IDs; App Store review typically adds ~1 day.
