Hi guys,
I just got a college project. I need to create an native iOS app which will have basic LMS features. I have seen some people working with swift on sublime but I am able to run it.
Can I really do native iOS development with swift on sublime?
I can’t quite see how you can run an LMS as a mobile app that runs exclusively on the device. Many LMS’s have Mobile apps, but they use WebService API’s to interact with the LMS, as a hosted service.
Have a look at Moodle and the Moodle mobile app as an example. The app itself is basically a ‘dumb terminal’ to interact with the cloud hosted Moodle.
If you are really interested, you can run Moodle locally (I do so on my laptop), so you can get to understand its capabilities. It is all open source and there is a vibrant community of developers. It also has WSAPI’s that you could invoke from your iOS app.
… PS. Sorry - I realise I didn’t even begin to answer your question. I will leave this to smarter folk …
I don’t need a full fledged LMS.
I want the basic features such as, login/signup, teachers/students portal, classes addition, updating and deletion with zoom link sharing features, course listing etc. All the basic stuff.
I have checked Moodle and it is looking pretty good but currently, my requirements are different.
I don’t think you can create a native iOS app with sublime, you can make it with the help of xcode.
Hello, I have a windows PC, and I have researched that xcode only works on macOS. How can I use xcode on my device?
It’s possible to compile an iOS app from Windows, it’s maybe even possible to sign it and test it, but the more you try to do without a real mac the harder it gets. Developing for Apple hardware without using it is a constant uphill battle, I suggest either getting a mac or build for android instead.
Hey, you should consider buying a mac (maybe used one), if you don’t want then you can use cloud services like macincloud, macstadium, etc, which give access of macOS on cloud, but it cost you some fee, or you can also run xcode on your windows devices by installing macOS with the help of virtual machine.
Hey, I have checked these services but they are looking expensive to me. During my research I have seen a method to run xcode on windows, it is looking legit to me but I’m not sure if it works or not. Is this safe or not? Please let me know.
I totally agree with you, things are really difficult without a Mac but I don’t have a choice right now. Do you have the guide to compile an iOS app from Windows?
