I have students that only have iPads and watches and would love to code and make their own apps for their own devices? How can they do that without a Mac, as they already bring to school one device. It is just unpractical for schools to make this requirement, as the whole infrastructure is not set up. As a teacher, how can I make that available for them? Thanks
You can use Swift Playgrounds on iPad to create real apps.
There are free eBooks from Apple for this topic: Learn to Code - Teacher Guide and many more!
For school-related questions Apples Education Community should be a great resource.
Apple’s Swift Playgrounds User Guide for iPad iOS is very helpful as is Nick Walter’s Udemy class on making apps using iPads and Swift Playgrounds
