Hi,
I completed the Apple App development book and I have read over the swift language guide, but I kinda feel like I know bits and bobs— like I don’t know where to go from here. I want to be able to create apps(obv) but I seriously don’t know how to plan it out and more importantly, How to continue learning new frameworks and swift?

It depends from where you start.
If you already know an Object oriented language, you should speak rapidly and become fluent in 6 months (if you work regularly). But it will take years to become an expert (language is very reach, with some sophisticated patterns like Generics, closures with all their subtlities, protocols…).
After 5 years of Swift, I'm still learning (and the language is still evolving)
What takes time is not only the language but master the API of iOS / MacOS and get experience in the app architecture itself. Not to speak of mastering Xcode and publication on the appStore.
So, all in all, I would say not less than 1 year.
You will find a lot of tutorial material from Apple in Books app.
Or many on the web.
And don't forget, you will always find other developers on this forum to help you.
But it is real fun, worth the effort.
Wish you great fun.
