Objective C. When you need to figure something out, and Google returns 1,000 tutorials on how to do it on Objective C and nothing for Swift, you'll know why.
Sure, Swift might be better. One day you'll probably learn it. But 99% of the effort in learning Objective C is learning all the frameworks and libraries, and the support to do that is much better in Objective C (at present).
If you already know Objective C, and a looking at starting a new project, Swift might be better. The lack of Swift-specific resources won't hurt, because you should be able to easily translate them from one to the other. But if you don't know either, I'd start with Obj-C.
- blisterpeanuts 12y agoYes, I've just started down the iOS road and of course I'm sticking with ObjC for now; all the Stack Overflow questions and tutorials are for ObjC at present and I can't just adopt a brand new language. Eventually, I will, though; Swift looks pretty cool!
