I think in this case it's like driving a car, flying a plane, speaking Mandarin, or performing surgery- at which point is someone proficient enough to call themselves a developer?
Knowing only about 1% of the commands, code, and frameworks available to a top iOS developer can still produce some impressive results.
Teaching a child to write a fart app in 8 weeks- easy.
Teaching a child to write a top 10 app in 8 weeks- next to impossible.

Top apps aren't necessarily top because they're technically impressive or have good code design, but because they provide a function/service that many people want. If a child can think of something like that, even if it's something simple, then it could absolutely become a top app.
