Should I outsource development? (alien.top)

Hello,

I want to publish an app (it is a rather simple one), but dont have any experience in software development. Is it wiser to learn it on my own to have full control over the app or should I outsource it? I saw many developer on fiver that are offering Development for 500-2000$. Are they worth it? And if I do it on my own, should I do Swift or Flutter development?

Thanks in advance

Everybody, but absolutely everybody always says their app is a "simple app".

Software development is not as simple as you think. There is a lot more than just the programming language. If it were that easy, we - experienced developers - would not be getting 6-digit jobs and constant offers.

I think developing an app should be the last step of your Entrepeneur journey. Think if there is a way you can launch a version of your product without any development at all. Just using social networks and/or maybe a landing page. Then if you see market interest, you can consider building the app, but always first go for marketing/sales before product building.
