At the time, I used the Obj-C Big Nerd Ranch Book and then the iOS Programming in Obj-C book. Nowadays, I'd recommend the BNR Swift Book and then the BNR iOS Development Book. These are excellent books and there is a nice community of people on their website who talk about solutions to the exercises and challenges.
For anyone who wants to learn app development, I can't recommend TheBigNerdRanch enough. They have the best books available

Along with those I also frequented a few programming subreddits and watched many youtube videos on iOS and Android.
I am not a coder, but no one had answered yet. ["6th edition iOS"] (https://www.amazon.com/iOS-Programming-Ranch-Guide-Guides/dp/0134682335/ref=dp_ob_title_bk).
Description: Updated for Xcode 8, Swift 3, and iOS 10.
This should be the correct one.
A lot of people have had success with the book I write for the company I work for:
iOS Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (6th edition)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0134682335/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XL35Ab39GGVNW
We also have a Swift book:
Swift Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (2nd Edition)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/013461061X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NM35AbQ45T962
If you have questions about either, let me know.
Read this while also reading this and then watch these lectures (note: the iOS 10 version should be starting by the time you finish the two books).
Every single line of code you see you should also be writing. Every project built in both books and the lectures you should also build. You should regularly use what you've learned to make your own dumb little practice projects. If you learn how to make a
UIButton
in chapter x then you should go and make your own project after reading chapter x that screws around and explores creatingUIButton
s.Come up with some actual app that you'd want to make for your own usage. As you learn features that you want your app to have, implement them in your app. Every now and then restart it from scratch as you learn how to code better. (IE your implementation of a trio of
UIButton
s after reading chapter 3 will be coded rather poorly compared to your implementation of the same trio of buttons after reading chapter 22.)This is how I did it and I taught myself how to be a professional iOS developer from not knowing what a variable was in less than a year.
I first went through the Swift and iOS programming books by Big Nerd Ranch, and then I went through one of their bootcamps in Atlanta. I highly recommend this company. Apple, Spotify, Square, etc... send their employees to Big Nerd Ranch.
Here you go
iOS Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (6th Edition)
Thank you for your kind words and suggestions. For anyone looking into Big Nerd Ranch's iOS book, I would like to point out that they have yet to update it as it's for Xcode 8, Swift 3, and iOS 10.
I first learned by reading the Big Nerd Ranch Guide to iOS Programming. The usual warning applies, that physical books are out of date by the time they are published, but it is a good starting point.

dont__hate :
What do your apps do?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dajork :
Ok, since nobody has asked, would you be able to list the books you used to
teach yourself? I am interested.
-----------------------------------------------------------
JeffBoner :
Did you advertise your main app at all ? Or was it just listed people
starting buying / using, and reviewing, and it took off from there organically?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Shiznanners :
You develop for IOS, but have you ever considered for android as well? If there
is a market in one, there is a market in another.
-----------------------------------------------------------
oops_shart :
Ummm so I'm very interested in your entrepreneurial success and how that came
to be... but, it's not the first question that comes to mind. What is it like
having a lot of self made money as a college aged person? I'd have to assume
your peers are generally broke, and you're probably a very busy guy given your
ventures - but I hope you're taking at least a little time to enjoy being 21.
-----------------------------------------------------------
SomeDogNamedWinfield :
Did you have programming experience before starting? If so, how long? This is
something I've always wanted to do, I just know web design better and it's held
be back from trying.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Chrisofthegreen :
After you made a stand for yourself and decided to work on your craft until it
pays off, did you find other streams of income that allowed you to still pay
your deadlines or did you not have a lot of bills at the time?
-----------------------------------------------------------
FancySack :
You ever go back to that McDonalds?
-----------------------------------------------------------
DGMishka :
Hello, I am learning Android development, I just wanted to know what was your
main motivation (other than being poor, no offense) to continue studying when
things got boring/tough?
-----------------------------------------------------------
BennyHarassi :
I see you learned by reading a book(which is hard to believe). How did you
learn to navigate Xcode? I'm making a game and the hardest thing is figuring
out how to choose what your app looks like on certain iOS devices. Also when
you're stuck with something like I am with coremotion do you just turn to
stackoverflow?
