I want to make an iPhone app, but I'm only a teenager. I want to start to learn C programming so I am ready to create and app after I have finished high school and college.
But I don't want to learn C programming if Apple will completely change this format in the future.
Does anyone know if it is likely that this will be changed, and if so, why? And to what?
Thanks, Dan.
Will iPhone apps always stay in the Objective C programming format?
At the moment the languages supported are Objective-C, C++ and C.
These are extremely unlikely to be removed, they've been around in some form or another for decades, and it's what the core OS is written in!
They might *add* new languages though, but that's no problem if you already know one of these. Also right now you can use a 3rd party framework like Appcelerator which adds several other languages into the mix, but these aren't guaranteed to be allowed by Apple forever.
Your best bet is Objective-C for long term Apple happiness.
Hope this helps!

probably, they may introduce other languages later but they will never drop c# support completely.
