When you are developing the IOS apps the one common name that is heard is the swift and yes it is the suitable programming language for IOS app development when there are a lot of advantages of developing IOS apps using Swift there are a lot of disadvantages too we brillmindz one of the best IOS app development companies in dubai are listing some of the advantages and disadvantages of developing the IOS apps using swift
Swift was created by apple in 2014 to develop the apps for IOS,ipad,macOS,watchOS and also the linux applications
Lets start seeing the advantages of swift
It is faster
It is said that when you develop the apps using swift the working of the apps are almost 2.6 times faster than developing the apps using objective-c It and it can also save some cost as well and coding the apps are more faster in swift when compared to other languages
It is safer
It is considered as another strength of swift It is a memory safe programming language which means it almost nullifies the attacks linked to uniinitalized pointers which other wise might lead to crashing of the program It has a shorter feedback loop which helps the developers to identify the errors in the code faster there by the time spent in debugging and will be less and improves the code quality
Compatible with Objective-C
One of the major advantage of Swift is that it is compatible with objective-c where the coding can be done in either of the language These features hold good for the big projects where you can code the addition features with swift and then place those in objective-C code base
Easy and low to maintain
It is easy to maintain in swift when compared to objective-C since in objective-C you should maintain two files in objective-C but when you are using swift you can combine those two files into a single(.swift) file
Better for user experience
When the apps are developed with swift they are always low on battery and memory this is more user friendly since most of users would uninstall the app that are more larger on size
ABI stability
What is ABI it is application binary interface which is equivalent to application user interface Achieveing the ABI stability is the great achievement for any programming language
Optionals are there for use
Optionals are the coding term where you use it when you want to prevent the app crashes when you are making sure that the clean code is maintained across the platforms
Lets look at the disadvantages of swift
Swift being the new programming language
When there is a comparison to swift it has to be objective-c where objective-c was found in 1980’s where as swift was found in 2014 Despite all the updates and additional features swift has the limited tools and libraries
It is not a reflective language
When compared to other languages swift is not that reflective instead it offers a mirror functionality where swift can take a object and self describe itself but it can manipulate it from with inand if the reflection was available in swift then deepandancies could have been injected automatically
A very small number of people who work on swift
Even though swift is raising steadily from the time it has been found the number of people who are expert in swift programming language are very less and that is also a major disadvantage that you have to consider
Conclusion
Developing mobile apps are common and when you know the advantages and disadvantages before developing the mobile apps and most of the mobile app development companies in dubai do take these as considerations
Today, every business (small or big) requires a mobile app so as to be successful.
For this purpose, there are many Mobile App Development Companies In Toronto, which work to create and design mobile app as per the requirement of the business owner.
