Choosing QT vs. Objective-C/IOS
-
I have a strong background in C/C++, however, I just started learning objective-C and making good progress. My question is should I switch to learning QT instead of objective-C ? I know the pros and cons about learning/using QT, i.e. it can be used for both Android and IOS. I'm a little hesitant and don't want to devote a lot of time if it could be spent elsewhere. Then again, I do not want to completely abandon my C++ skills either. I personally don't always have a lot of free time to begin with. Some words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Might not be the answer you wanted, but you should go with both. Qt indeed offers a good abstraction for most part you will need. But accessing some more advanced/specific iOS feature will require to know Objective-C (in this case it would be Objective-C++).
So in the end, you should first write down what you need, what Qt provides that you can directly use and what would be os-specific. Then you can see what effort you need.
Hope it helps

I think you sort of answered my question. Thank you for having an objective opinion.
