Starting iOS Development FAQ

Welcome to the Starting iOS Development FAQ. I see people who are new to iOS development asking the same questions repeatedly in forums. Some of these questions include the following:

• Do I need a Mac?
• What Mac should I get?
• Does Xcode run on iPads?
• Should I learn SwiftUI or UIKit?
• Where do I learn iOS development?

I am gathering and organizing answers to these frequently asked questions here.
