I want to become a mobile developer.
I’ve heard that for the iOS simulator, you need a MacBook with 32GB of RAM and an M1 chip. In my country, that’s too expensive for me. I hate the iOS system, and I find MacBooks complicated and closed-off. Do you think I could learn a programming language on my Windows PC and then find a job? I don’t know much about this field. I know there’s Java/Kotlin, Flutter/Dart, and React Native. The iOS simulator on Windows is a pain, and I won’t be able to upload to the App Store or test my apps there either. I work in construction, and the pay isn’t great, so I want to study to become a mobile developer after work. I don’t want to spend 10 years studying only to end up being unnecessary; I’m looking for something with long-term prospects. Thanks to everyone for your understanding and advice.
