If you are thinking to learn iOS App development I mean developing games and applications for Apple's iOS devices like iPhone and iPad and looking for some free training courses then you have come to the right place. In this article, I am going to share *five free online courses to learn iOS App Development*.

This is the second article in my serious of articles about learning iOS and venturing into app development. In my last article, I have shared some of the [best courses to learn Swift Programming language](https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2019/01/top-5-ios-developer-course-to-learn-ios.html), Apple's own language to create iOS applications. It also allows you to create apps for macOS and [Linux](http://www.java67.com/2018/02/5-free-linux-unix-courses-for-programmers-learn-online.html) as well.

Btw, Apple's iOS is an amazing platform, it not only allows you to create apps and games but also provides a platform to publish and sell your work. You can upload your apps or games into AppStore and earn some money by selling it or just opting to show ads on your games.

There are many programmers who have become app entrepreneurs and earning thousands of dollars. Though it's not easy and takes a lot of hard work, luck, and persistence it does provide an opportunity.

It also motivates people from other areas to learn to program and make a living. In fact, there are many boot camps all around the world which teach you how to develop games and applications for iPhone and iPad on iOS, but most of them are very expensive and sometimes the location is also a problem.

That's where online courses come into the picture. You can also buy courses as low as $10 like [**iOS 13 & Swift 5 - The Complete iOS App Development Bootcamp**](

If you have a smartphone and internet connection then you can watch them while traveling, in the home or in your office in your spare time.


##Top 5 Free courses to learn iOS from Udemy
There are also some free courses available which are great to start if you don't want to commit any money. These courses will provide you enough background and knowledge to decide whether [iOS development](https://medium.com/javarevisited/top-5-online-courses-to-learn-ios-12-swift-in-2019-a35ae1be7b2b) suits you or not.

Without any further ado, here is my list of some of the best, free online courses to learn iOS and application development for iPhone and iPad.

**1\.** [**iOS App Development For Beginners**](https://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=JVFxdTr9V80&subid=0&offerid=634352.1&type=10&tmpid=14538&RD_PARM1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Fios-app-development-for-beginners%2F)
Developing for iOS is an in-demand skill and valuable, but if you haven't developed anything in the Apple world before, it can be intimidating and that's where a good course like this one can help you.

This course will teach you how to develop a complete iOS app without writing a single line of code in iOS 11 and Xcode 9, Apple's IDE for Swift.

In short, an excellent course for beginners and anyone who wants to start with iOS11 and Xcode 9.

You also don't need to have Swift programming skills to use this course, though I suggest you to learn Swift as it will help you a lot in future.

It has more than 5000+ good quality courses on all the latest topics. Since we programmers have to learn new things every day, an investment of $299 USD is not bad.

Another nice course to learn Swift, Xcode, and iOS11 for free. If you don't know Swift, it is Apple's programming language for building iOS application, earlier it used to be Objective C which was slightly difficult to learn for beginners.

Swift is designed to keep education in mind and hence, it's also a good language to learn to program. There is also a free iPad game called Swift Playground which you can use to [learn to code in Swift](https://medium.com/javarevisited/7-free-courses-to-learn-swift-programming-language-in-2020-f40ac9d3ee53) for free.

###Closing Notes
Thanks for reading this article so far. You might be thinking that there is so much stuff to learn, so many courses to join, but you don't need to worry.

There is a good chance that you may already know most of the stuff, and there are also a lot of useful [free resources](https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2018/11/5-free-ios-app-development-courses-for.html) which you can use, I have also linked them here and there along with best resources, which are certainly not free, but worth of money.

I am a particular fan of [Udemy courses](https://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=JVFxdTr9V80&offerid=323058.9409&type=3&subid=0) as they are very affordable and provide a lot of values in very small amount, but you are free to choose the course you want.

At the end of the day, you should have enough knowledge and experience about the things mentioned here.

Good luck with your iOS App Development journey! It's certainly **not going to be easy**, but by following this roadmap and guide, you are one step closer to becoming the [iOS App Developer](https://medium.com/javarevisited/10-frameworks-and-libraries-mobile-application-developers-can-learn-in-2020-e0b91391cade), you always wanted to be
