Understanding native iOS from an Android perspective
summary
Compares concrete code and workflows: a pet adoption app built against Petfinder backend has parallel Android and iOS versions and lives on GitHub; dependency management uses CocoaPods pod install vs Gradle; Swift specifics include optionals requiring repeated force-unwraps, Swift structs are value types and classes default to open, and SwiftUI maps closely to Jetpack Compose with environment objects for view models. The demo compiles and the platform differences are shown with runnable examples.
