I have been treehouse student for a long time and want to work using skills that I learned from here, but in my country mobile development is not in trends yet, so the only solution is to work as a freelancer for now. I just want to know the entire process, what should I know besides iOS? Some side things for database or I don't know what else. That's why asking)) I know: Swift and a bit of objective-c HTML, CSS PHP MySQL Sketch

I suggest you work on 1 - 3 good apps, and publish it on the app or google play store. You add these to your resume. You should also learn about backend for mobile, like Firebase. It also doesn't hurt to learn an additional skill like design(UI, UX) but the bare minimal

I also suggest you start imitating other popular apps, there are plenty of advance tutorial on Udemy.
