I’m thinking about making a little iOS app.

So basically, I think it would be cool to be able to carry around my own cool creations just on my phone, and I heard that’s possible with C# using Xamarin. My question is, how do I make this happen? How complex is it for someone who picked up basically all the basics of the language in two mornings from my previous Python experience?

xamarin is dead, you'd want MAUI now

Do remember that you need a developer account to run stuff on an apple device, even your own personal device. That's $100/year or something

AFAIK all of the various techs end up needing an apple build machine and a developer account (it's been a few years since I worked with ios though)
