I just finished 2 years of comp sci and want to make some apps over the summer. I know some java and some c/c++. I have a preference to make it on ios but am wondering if one is more difficult to learn than the other. Thanks for any help.

It's probably the easiest platform to get into. You need a Mac. The apple developer website has insane amounts of documentation.
My favorite bit is that they even have whole sample apps that they build step by step showing you concepts and code at once.
Being able to visially manipulate the interface at first is awesome too fopr beginners. And there are few platforms with as much good documentation to build for.

Have you considered Xamarin? It uses c# which is a very good and quite approachable language and covers all popular platforms while maintaining all native capabilities.

How well would this suit me considering I'm not very good at coding yet? I think somewhere that has plenty of documentation and is widely used would make for easier learing.

Don't bother with Android development. Android Studio is slow as molasses. There are tons of undocumented behavior. It's very difficult to get one app to work well on every Android system. Making GUIs is a PITA.
>>54757206
If one already knows some basic java (and some java GUI stuff), would you say it's still easier to experiment with iOS apps using Xcode and swift/obj c than dealing with Android Studio?

Op here seconding that, but I know the fundamentals of c also.
