I recommend working with React-Native for the next month and then work on Swift the following month. Get something working. I think your chances are better starting with React-Native. I've dabbled a little with it. Layout is super easy compared to Swift+IB+Autolayout (although StackViews are nice).
- dchuk 11y agoThanks for the reply. That's about where my mind is currently as well, I think Swift as a language looks awesome but I think the amount of time I need to spend on learning all of the tooling in xcode will slow me down quite a bit compared to tackling react native which has a relatively familiar toolchain compared to what I normally use daily.
- msie 11y agoI have done some iOS programming in ObjC and I'm looking at Swift 2.0 right now. The language is just too big for you to start with and the tooling is still bug-prone. I think you'll get more out of one month with React-Native. Hopefully you'll have created something at the end of it. That's really important. And in a month they'll release another version of XCode 7 and the iOS 9 SDK that's less buggy. A month goes by so quickly.
