Hello Everyone,

I am looking for some resources to help get started with both MacOS and iOS development. I'm looking for some pretty decent books that I can learn from and, I've been having trouble finding resources (Amazon, google etc).

Can anyone assist with this and point me in a general direction?

Thanks,

Hello!
So you’d like to learn SwiftUI, the programming language that allows you to build applications for Apple platforms. Am I right? To get started with Swift, I highly recommend to take a look at the Everyone Can Code book series on Apple Books, to start learning something about programming in Swift. There are on many topics and they are all free, so you can just go to Books and download them and start learning!

Here's the link for the books [https://books.apple.com/us/book/everyone-can-code-adventures/id1514850778)

Have a great day!

Or do you want to develop some apps for iOS and other for MacOS, using UIKit and AppKit, learning Xcode and Swift ?

There are few materials for MacOS. For iOS, In addition to Apple's material, you have a lot:

Stanford course is very good, but may be not as a starter
some years ago, I learned with "Beginning iPhone Development with Swift" , APress ; it dates back to 2019, but should be OK.

But it is very expensive in paper edition. Much less in AppleBook format: https://books.apple.com/us/book/beginning-iphone-development-with-swift-5/id1470558995 or Kindle format https://www.amazon.fr/Beginning-iPhone-Development-Swift-Exploring-ebook/dp/B07SMZ2WHJ

There is a MacOS book, but dating 2017: https://books.apple.com/us/book/macos-programming-for-absolute-beginners/id1210696384
