iOS

iOS is the mobile operating system derived from Mac OS X and released in 2007.iOS stands for  iPhone OS and it is owned by Apple.iOS — is by some accounts the mobile operating system with the largest market share, head-to-head with Linux’s derivative, Android.Apple does not license iOS for installation on non-Apple hardware. In iOS, there are four abstraction layers: the Core OS layer, the Core Services layer, the Media layer, and the Cocoa Touch layer. The current version of the operating system is iOS 6.0. iOS currently runs on iPhone, Apple TV, iPod Touch, and iPad.
Xcode is the primary tool for developing iOS (and OS X) applications.It’s free from Apple and helps with a variety of development-related tasks including user interface (UI) design/development, revision control, and more.The primary language that iOS is developed in is called Objective-C.Apple also provides a rich set of frameworks. Some are required for any app and are automatically included.iOS development also relies heavily on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture pattern.The model is the data layer . The view is the UI that the user interacts with. The controller is between the view and the model, and it translates the user interaction to logic and accesses data as necessary.
