iOS (operating system)

iOS is an operating system developed by Apple, designed for their mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It provides a secure, user-friendly interface to manage apps, files, music, photos, and other content.

Warning

At the moment, support of iOS in AUI Framework is in early stage and lacks a lot of features.

iOS shares its XNU kernel and codebase with macOS (operating system).

Key considerations#

• iOS is easier to support than Android (operating system) due to limited number of devices and OS versions
• You'd need a macOS (operating system) machine to build and run an iOS app
