Android apps and iOS apps are compiled. Which basically means that they're converted down to 1's and 0's. So, unless they published the code, you're not going to be able to view any source code.
As far as languages, Android uses Java, and Apple uses Swift / Objective-C. If you decide to go with iOS use Swift. It's their new shiny language, and it's way nicer to use than Objective-C.
Both ecosystems have an opinionated way of doing things, but Android's is a bit more opinionated. In other words: Apple lets you be a bit more open in your application design, while Android pretty much forces you to pass data around with their Intents / Activity system.
There are some all in one frameworks that let you write for both, but learning native would be the best option, imo.
Personally, I'd pick Android because it's much easier to get apps onto devices. You have to jump through multiple hoops just to get a damn ipad / iphone app on your own device.
- Thanks! I'm thinking for my purposes that android would be better to start with. I'm also thinking of just finding someone who knows how to code and gettingsarahfailin
