How to create an app: Top tutorials for iOS, Android or desktop
How to build an app: Quick links
Knowing how to create an app has never been more vital, and in this article you'll find tutorials, explainers, resources, and videos that will help you learn how to make an app for a range of different platforms. We've covered a range of bases here – it's not all about Apple, after all! There are sections on how to make macOS and iOS apps, but also tutorials for Android and Windows here.
There's also a cross-platform list covering concepts and ideas every app can benefit from, and technologies that can be deployed across a range of platforms. Just use the jump links opposite to hop straight to the section that interests you. If you're looking for the top devices to test your apps on, then check out our guide to the best Android tablets, or keep an eye on our roundup of the best Apple deals for a chance to bag a bargain Apple device.
With most of the examples on our list you'll gain knowledge, but some tutorials will leave you with a complete (if simple) app to mess around with. Money won't be an issue, because all of these tutorials are freely available – or at least freely accessible using trials.
If you're looking for the best apps to create design work as opposed to making apps yourself, then take a look at our roundups of the best iPhone apps and iPad apps for designers to see just what we can do using apps nowadays.
How to make iOS apps for iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch
Apple's iOS platform remains the best bet on mobile for innovative and production-oriented apps. If you want to learn how to make an app for iPhone or iPad, check out the tutorials below. Alternatively, check out our beginner's guide to mobile app design for a general overview.
01. How to make your first app
This hugely popular video tutorial was created by CodeWithChris in 2019. It walks though how to build an app for iOS, including getting set up, a guide to the different tools you'll need to use, and how to write and read Swift code. Naturally, it's a long tutorial, but by the end of it you'll have built a fully functional iOS app.
02. Apple developer insights
Rather than immediately delving into making an app or game, it pays to find out what makes them successful. Apple's developer insights videos have creators of hit apps share how they built sustainable businesses, used subscriptions, cultivated communities, and kept their products fresh through regular updates and feature innovations.
03. Create a Messages stickers extension
If you're desperate to get cracking and make something quickly, this YouTube video by The Code Lady is a good place to start. In just a few minutes, it leads you through the process of using Xcode to fashion a simple Messages extension. It's not a 'proper' app, sure, but it's a toe in the water.
04. Start developing iOS apps
This course by Apple is broken down into sections that give you a grounding in building interface elements and working with table views. The end result is a simple meal-tracking app, with which a user can add, remove or edit a meal, along with specifying a name, rating and image.
05. How to make an iPhone app
This video tutorial from Devslopes shows you how to make an iPhone app, using Xcode 9 and Swift 4. It's aimed at beginners with no coding experience, so is a great introduction to follow if you've never created an app before. You'll end up with a working iPhone app, including animations and sound effects.
06. How to make an Apple Watch app
This tutorial on how to make an Apple Watch app was originally published on our sister site Netmag. In it, you will learn to create an Apple Watch app for an Uber Eats-style service. You will discover the design principles to consider when designing a wearable app for a watch. There's also a look at designing a sample application on Adobe XD.
07. Develop iOS apps with Swift
Available for free through iTunes, Stanford's course on developing for iOS comprises a series of lengthy video-based lectures with supporting material. This course aims to arm you with the tools and APIs you need to build iPhone and iPad apps using the iOS SDK. Note that you will need some knowledge of C and object-oriented programming to be comfortable with the course. It has been updated for iOS 10 and Swift.
08. Design for all Apple screen sizes
Although penned during the iOS 8 days, this article full of developer insight remains relevant to those targeting multiple Apple screen sizes. And multiple screen sizes are key these days – the best modern apps work on anything from the smallest iPhone to the largest iPad. Savvy developers also think beyond, to the world of the Apple TV and even Apple Watch.
09. Understand iOS accessibility
Accessibility is a fundamental component of all Apple's output, and iOS devices are no exception. The best apps are aware of – and utilise – key accessibility technologies. This video series from Lynda.com runs through many of them and also how to audit apps to ensure their functions are discoverable to and useable by all. (You'll need a free trial to view this Lynda tutorial – or sign up and subscribe.)
