Platforms enabling the creation of applications for Apple’s mobile operating system without writing source code are increasingly available. These tools offer a visual interface, utilizing drag-and-drop functionality and pre-built components to construct applications. For example, a user might design an e-commerce application for iPhones by assembling user interface elements and configuring data interactions through a graphical editor, rather than traditional coding methods.
The emergence of such systems democratizes application development, expanding access beyond individuals with programming expertise. This allows entrepreneurs, small businesses, and educators to rapidly prototype and deploy mobile solutions, reducing development time and costs significantly. Historically, creating iOS applications required proficiency in languages like Swift or Objective-C, presenting a barrier to entry for non-programmers.
