IOS is one of the most popular and used mobile platforms across the world. With over a billion devices in use worldwide as of January 2016, it undoubtedly has the focus of so many business apps.

This is probably the reason why there is a widespread buzz around Swift and the indices like TIBOE (March 2017) shows Swift within the monthly top 10 popular programming languages. Considering Swift’s duration on the floor, this was remarkable.
