Good read but still not up to the level of "Tapworthy" that I strongly recommend for novices in iOS.

Simple and motivational.
"All of this is to say that designers should learn to program, and programmers should learn to design."
The book is largely for developers who can't design.
After reading Tapworthy, I realize there's a lot less effort in writing this.
Warning: do not clone an existing app as suggested by the book and give it a new name! Even if it has a better interface. That will not work anymore. The Apple store rejects apps that clones popular apps.

Nice complementary material to this guide (from the same author): http://guides.co/g/how-to-develop-iph...
It's simple and straight to the point. Which is good.
For me, it all comes down to this: "Remember that it isn’t about the technology or features of your application, but instead what your app allows a person to do and most importantly how it makes them feel while using it."
I recommend this book along with the above guide.
