C# or Objective-C

Greetings folks, I am Howard, and I just began to study about ios development. I have a few questions which confused me for a long time, hope that you guys might help.

  1. Do I need to study Objective-C as it is the only language of IOS?

  2. I plan to develop my apps with Unity3D, and I read that some were coding with C#, so did you guys ever use Objective-C when developing an apps?

  3. If Objective-C is not needed in Unity3D, then what for a IOS developer to learn about it?

I really hope to see some reply soon, it will help a lot. Thanks again.

If you only plan on using Unity for iOS you don’t need Objective C at all. If you do plan on making ‘native’ iOS apps, you do. I use C# and Unityscript (sometimes called Javascript, but it’s not really).

If you are advanced, you might want to hook Unity into the iOS stuff, and you might need some Objective C at that point, but if you’re just starting out, no.
