I am a programmer, our team created a mobile website that was used for scouting last year. If you have experience with HTML5, CSS, and Javascript, I would highly recommend those over Objective-C and Swift. Making any application on an iOS device, except for a mobile website, requires an apple developer license, which requires a Mac. Even if you write your apps in HTML5, it still requires that you upload your application to Apple via a Mac.

We use Phonegap to build our HTML apps, and I would recommend you to do so as well, because compared to some alternatives, Phonegap is free, Open Source, and there is a wealth of tutorials for it online.
