Web devs have different flavors: frontend, backend, full stack.
#iosdev doesn't get that luxury.
As you grow, you will learn the basic frameworks (Foundation, UIKit) and will pick up others as needed: AVFoundation, CloudKit, Core Data, Core Location...

You read and read! Appreciate when the community shares their experiences and learn from them.

If you have worked on an uncommon iOS framework, you should write a blog post about it!
